Easy way to remove bugs from bumper

I recently purchased a few Poorboy's World products as I kept hearing great things about them, especially a product of theirs called Bug Squash. My wife and I took a little weekend trip to Monterey, CA and when we got back there were thousands of little bugs all over her front bumper, head lights, windshield and side mirrors.

There was no better time to use my recently purchased Bug Squash and hope that it works for me as it has worked for many others in removing those pesky bugs. Product was diluted 3:1.

Below are the before pictures:





Below are the results:





I was really impressed on how easily the bugs simply washed off after I hosed it down. I don't have a pressure washer so this was all done with regular water pressure with a fire hose attachment. All that was left was the skit marks of the bugs that deflected off and it easily wiped off with no pressure when I did my regular wash. This product rocks and I didn't even use it full strength so it really goes a long way.

I just wanted to give you my experience with this product and thank you for listening...err reading. If you are in the market for a bug remover or were ever curious of this product, I highly recommend it.

Ha, I wish! Stuff is great on bugs though. Steps for it are simple...

1) Rinse area and remove easy to remove bugs by just rinsing.
2) Spray Bug Squash on areas and wait 1 minute.
3) Rinse area clean.

I don't have pressure washer so this was rinsed off with just a gardening hose with an attacment.

That is correct. That's why this is a great product. No real effort is needed.

During the summer I drive up to Williams lake a lot and when I get back to Vancouver the front of the car is covered in bugs and a real bitch to get off.

Just a thought but its probly a good idea to wax the area once fully cleaned right? I figure that stuff could eat away at the 'finish' if its meant to eat up bugs and tar.

Don't let that dry out on your paint. You will make a thread about how your paint looks now

This stuff is LSP safe when diluted 3:1 (3 parts water 1 part product). If you use it full strength it might be a good idea to touch it up with some LSP afterwards.
