Title: How to clean flys from the front bumper..... the easy way
Post by: Anonymous on September 23, 2003, 22:54
Got this GREAT tip from a friend.

Clean car as normal with a pre-soak, a good soapy sponge and hose down with water.

When the bumper is still wet take a few baby wet wipes and rub gently over the dead flys. Watch them vanish!

Best of all Tesco 100 wet wipes cost under a quid.

I've heard of this before, and at JAE WoodenDummy had a pack of 'Bug Wipes' or somesuch, which were more than likely just re-branded baby wipes!
