Bug Remover - I have discovered a product that works well.
I've tried several different brands including Wizards, Turtle Wax, Hunter Detail, etc. They all seem to work ok, but nothing outstanding in my opinion. I stumbled across a product made by Klean-Strip called Prep-all Bug and Tar remover. I was impressed with how well this product dissolved and released the bug residue. Additionally, it truly leaves a streak and film free finish when used with a micro fiber towel. After I get all the bugs off I use a spray-detailer with a clean micro fiber towel to finish up. (BTW I do not have any interest, financial or otherwise, regarding any Klean-Strip products.)
Simply wanted to share a product, that I think works well, with everyone.
I've never had a problem getting bugs off just using a damp, almost wet, microfiber cloth. Of course, the bugs I hit are only on there a day or two, maybe once in a while it might be 3-4 days, but even after 3-4 days most come off pretty easy. Some of the bigger juicier ones may take a little rubbing but not a problem.
50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and tap water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the dead bugs, the peroxide breaks down the bug guts. After 3 or 4 minutes wipe them off. It doesn't break down show car polish or wax. I keep a small spray bottle in the saddlebag for trips.
