I used the dryer sheet trick, as per everyone, to get ride of bugs. I was displeased when I found an ass-load of fine scratches in the paint. It was on black paint if that matters, and i used cold water to soak it not hot.


Thoughts?

I never heard of that trick to remove bugs. It sounds like a bad idea. Similar to when I used the green side of a sponge to remove tint adhesive from my rear window. Oh man that sucked.

To remove bugs I use Fast Wax. They come off instantly with Zero scratches.

Here Is my Thread about FastWax

^^^ oh thanks! i have about 2 weeks worth of love bugs stuck to my hood and bumper. mmmm that's yummy! and since i haven't washed my BLACK car in a few months... anything would help. lol whoops!

do they have that at walmart??

Fast Wax is only available thru certain vendors. Porche, and other expensive car dealerships sometimes push a couple cans onto a first time buyer...

I found a vendor on ebay with super cheap prices, but long ass shipping...

This maybe embarassing to most guys here, but just go to the store and buy a pair of pantyhose. The cashiers might look at you like you're a crossdresser but I tell them it takes bird poop off of my car really well.

Bugs are a pretty bad problem around my area. I just use a can of Tuff-Stuff upholstery cleaner. Just spray it all over the bugs on the car and let it sit for about 2 minutes then just rinse it off and the bugs just come right off. It won't scratch your paint and it's conveniently sold at wal-mart for a very inexpensive price.
