Bugs

[Anonymous]

I had the same problem, spent an hour with a toothbrush and some autoglym tar remover and got them all off.

Since then i waxed using "Mer" and they jsut come off altho if you elave it for a bit then they do stick, so regular waxing stops them sticking!!

The old bug issue is a real pain  s:) s:) , now more than ever for me as my car has the aerodynamics of a brick and gets covered!!!, most of the above items work wonders though. I tend to do the lot   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

1. Rinse then wash and rinse (using Bug sponge)
2. Autoglym bug & tar remover on real bad areas
3. Wash and rinse any areas where above was used again (with sponge)
4. Dry and shammy
5. Clay Bar with lubricant  (Meguirs/Sisswol/Zymol, etc)
6. Wipe area
7. Apply HD Cleanser and clean with cleansing toweling sponge (Zymol)
8. Wax, polish, rewax 2 more time on front facing panels

Since then most cleaning has just be a was a rinse and reapply of wax and the front of the car has stayed bug mark free, though she could do with a full clean again soon   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

LOL, get the girl friend to help  s;) s;) . I normally end up cleaning the girls cars too   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  

I'm sad i guess, i find cleaning quite relaxing normally (apart from finding new stone chips or marks, etc   s:x :x s:x  )
