    Default Another bug remover

    Yup works too. Take a fabric /dryer sheet put it in an empty spray bottle, add water about half way, shake. Wait a bit, spray on your bug collection. When I did it today the bugs, guts and all dissolved and just came off with a hose splash. Not all a few needed soap.

    Default Yep use all the time

    But I am lazy so wet spyder, wet dryer sheet. Wipe, rinse then I wash with soapy water (I use ICE). Blow dry with leaf blower (which used to sit on shelf gathering dust) and Studly is looking GREAT. Bug free!!! Yep use on all vehicles. Easy peezy

    I understand that it cleans the bugs off and takes out wrinkles, but doesn't it make you windshield all sort of soft and fuzzy?

    I use hydrogen peroxide .. spray it on.. let it set a couple of minutes and just wipe off... hydrogen peroxide activates on protein... won't hurt paint .. and its
    cheap..

    UPDATE: UPDATE:

    We have been using hydrogen peroxide which works pretty well.

    Added the dryer sheet to the spray bottle, and "voila," the stuff works like a charm. The bugs seem to just dissolve and the clean up was instantaneous. We use a chamois (the real stuff) as a wipe.
    No streaks, no droplets, etc.

    Akspyderlady liked it so much, she did a quick cleanup around all the Tupperware on the , and I had a newly washed and waxed for last nights club ride.

    1 spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide or dryer sheet and water + 1 chamois = beautiful . Quickly

    I use the blue summer time window cleaner(type that is marked 32 deg. not 0 deg.) and rain x bug remover, in a 50/50 mix. I use it on the trunk lid and on the front of the my 2011 RS-S SE5 and on front of my Ford Edge, it works great.
