Ok well I'm try to help some ppl out who have this retarded bug problem on the car! Like I live in Florida and when all the dam love bugs are out!!! OMG! it's rediculous how nasty the front of your car can get etc.. especially the headlights.

Ight well something that gets rid of them really easy and is actually a really cheap way of doing it is to buy bounce sheets. You know the bounce sheets that go in the dryer to keep the clothes fresh and smell good or w/e. Well wet the bounce sheet and wipe them dam bugs off. works really good on headlights. Like you can wash your whole car with it. Works really well on windows. It makes some lil foamy coat on the car when ur doing it.. So when your washing it off I use my hand to like wipe off the lil foamy coat it makes(u'll understand when you do it) But w/e you like to do . It really works.. try it. remember Bounce Sheets.------80 sheets for like $4.00

 

This should probably be in "Show & Shine," but a good tip none the less. I will have to try that. It doesn't hurt the paint at all? I have trouble getting the bugs off my front bumper, lol.

 

Your right... show and shine would be better.. i tried it in the how to and it didn't work for some reason lol.
and no it doesn't hurt the pain @ all. I was very happy with it when I found out. I'm going to copy and paiste this on the show/shine then lol.......hhehe..

 

I think threads have to be approved by a moderator before they get put in the How-to section, otherwise it would get all cluttered, lol.

 

I'd highly advise against it actually...

Bounce sheets or similar DO have cleaning abilities. For instance, they could be used for scrubbing mildew off shower tiles. However, I'd highly advise against using it on the soft clearcoats on modern automotive finishes.

Your too likely to marr or swirl the paint doing this. The best way to go about getting rid of bugs is to find a paint safe cleaning solution with a high dwell time (dwell time is the amount of time the product will stay on the car before dripping off).

What you want to do is get the bugs saturated with moisture so that the bond that they form with the paint is then broken. Then because of the high dwell time of the product your using, it adds lubricity to the paint surface so when you go to wipe them away, there is a small barrier between the bugs and the paint.

Many people like to use a damp or wet microfiber towel to remove the bugs once the bugs are saturated with solution, but in a blotting fashion, not a wiping. Experiment around to see what works for you. Or use the Bounce sheets, its your car, I'm just trying to give people the heads up to the potential damage of using such a method.
