if goo gone fails? What next??

I have a lot of bugs and random marks that I can't seem to take off with goo gone alone for some reason. It's weird because with the bugs at least, the goo gone usually takes care of it..not this time though. So when goo gone fails, what else is there that is stronger than that??

You might want to try a clay bar. I bought a McGuire's kit that came with the clay bar, some cleaner wax, and quick detailer for less than $20.

Bug and tar is the best. Get it with the wax in it, it works really good.

X2 on the claybar. Clay the car, give it a good waxing, and you'll never have problems with bugs sticking to your car. If they don't spray right off a quick scrub will take them off for sure!

since you are having problems with removing bugs I would recommend bug and tar remover... or a rag that has been dipped in gasoline...j/p...

after you ge them off..wax it good and keep it waxed and you wont have this problem..

What I would do is buy one of those sponges with mesh around it. Use the "Bug and Tar" remover spray. I dont know if I would use gasoline, paint might bubble crack due to improper washing when finished. I live in MO, bugs are pretty bad on hwy 44 in the evening. This method works.

if you leave the bugs on the paint for too long, the acid that they leave from being splattered on your bumper eats into your paint, and it wont come out without compounding.
