Question Removing Bugs?
What the best for removing bugs off the front end?

Tried the turtle wax stuff and maguirs... both did not perform too well.

Besides lots of soap and very hot water what has you guys used?

You could try a mild dish soap (or mild degreaser) and a bug pad (Sponge with mesh webbing) on it. Of course you'll have to re-wax where you removed the bugs.

Don't laugh but a while ago I watched a TV show and they used water and cigarette butts... Give it a try it can't hurt...

they make a bug mit that takes the bugs off without harming the paint. I've seen it but never used one.
