Best bug removal product?

I am a fan of Zaino's car products, but I haven't found the perfect product yet for cleaning off bug carcasses. I don't want to destroy the fragile Nissan paint, but using the concentrated Zaino car wash (their recommendation) isn't getting the job done.

Is there a great de-bug product out there that doesn't destroy paint?

first off always make sure you have a good coat of wax on the car at all times. second wet dryer sheets work wonders on bugs and bird droppings.

Skip the harsh chemicals. The best is (believe it or not) a used Bounce (or other brand) dryer sheet. Moisten and rub gently and the bugs will come off like magic with no paint damage....:tup:

I dont know if you guys who are using Dryer Sheets or Bounce use Zaino, but i do not like the streaks it leaves on my black car.

I have found for me perosnaly, i use warm/hot water and paper towel does the trick followed up by dry paper towel to stop any water spotting.

well if i was going to wash the car i personaly woudlnt bother with the dryer sheets, would just use my wash mitt on the front for last like i allways do since it normaly has the most stuff on it.

z-6 does work pretty good but normaly i am in a hurry when i use the warm water method.

my z-6 and all the supplys and rags are in the gargage and some times i dont feel like digging to get it.

wouldn't WD40 eat your clear coat? Also, being here in El Paso, the sun often bakes the bugs before I can get them off, any ideas how to get that crap off the paint?

I'm telling you the dryer sheets will remove the bugs and guts far more easily than soap and water. Try it.
