The front of my Yellow cobalt shows bug guts HORRIBLE! Does anyone know of anything that works to remove them besides just old fashion elbow grease? Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanx in advance

I just spent about 10 min. rubbing out all the bug guts on mine too. Turtle wax makes a "Bug & Tar" remover that is clear coat safe.

get a bug and tar sponge and then give it a good wax after to make future bug guts easier to remove

I got cheap bug remover and it doesn't work at all, so now I just use goo gone. I guess it works ok... still takes a lot of scrubbing.

Spray Nine works better than anything I have ever used... you can get it at Walmart here and a couple other stores that I am not sure if you guys have in the states.

I just take mine to the car wash, and they come right off...light scrubbing with the brush and then the soap spray and rinse. I know what you mean though....they show up something terrible on the yellow.

Clay bar took all mine off. Then I done the 3 stage wax from Meguiars and it is easy to clean now. I spent about 4 hours on it that day but it has paid off.

Mean Green is awesome, but do you think it would be too strong for the clearcoat?
