Washed the pride & joy down yesterday, but it still looks a mess with bugs, flies etc.
Any recommendations for the best kit for removing the little varmints?
-
what products did you use?
best stuff i find is Autoglym Bug & Tar remover; use that with a microfibre cloth to wipe down the affected areas; then wash and rinse off and re-apply your poilsh,
-
Most effective thing I have found is Upol anti silcone degreaser, fecthes them straight off and its really hand on anything nasty and sticky.

Use a clay bar - link here:

Muck Off works well, just remember to rinse it off.

Thanks for the feedback guys - got plenty of other Autoglym stuff from courtesy pack you get with their lifeshine treatments, will have to pop out and invest in the bug remover - and hope for a fine evening for a change.

Easiest way is to wet a chamois and leave it on the offending area for 5 minutes to soften the bugs, they just wash away.

Advice from a valeter was to use tights or stockings - whatever your preference. Thats to rub the flies off with , not wear whilst washing the car !! :grin:,
Works perfectly, used them for years on both cars and bikes, comes up a dream and no cost

Sounds fun - I'll take the wife outside in her finest and ask her to slide around on the front end :shocked: :shocked:

i use detol anti bacterial wipes...sorts em right out...2 mins of a job and you dont need to wash the car...just rub it over the relevant bit..
keep em in your glove box :wink:

Just a quick note on that. Those wipes will most likely strip all of your protection of your body work so you would need to re wax after using them.

also aren't they likely to inflict swirls and scratches??
Best thing to keep in your glove box would be a bottle of Quik Detailer and a micro fibre cloth. If you have waxed your car and find some bird has done its business a quck spary of QD and a wipe over with the cloth will remove it in an instant :afro:
