Yea, what's the best way to get bugs off if a wash won't get them off?

My clear bra installer reccomended Simply Green (or Simple Green?). He said you can mix it as strong as you want. Any opions on that?

Wash off as much as you can with your normal car shampoo - you can actually pre-soak the bug guts by placing a soaking wet rag over them for 20 mins or so before washing - that helps a lot.

For the bug guts that remain after washing, use clay with clay lube.

The clay will happily remove all remaining bug bits, leaving your paint super smooth and clean.

After using the clay, apply wax and polish off.

Keep the front area well waxed, and bug guts will be easier to remove next time around.

Chris.

I bought this new product made by Rain X for bug removal and the results have been excellent. Spray it on and hose it off when you wash the car.
