Getting bugs off paint

[geoff_gti]

I've used Armor All Bug & Tar Gel before, seems ok with a bit of a polish after.

maybe you should just ask the bugs to get off instead...?

I tried asking, being nice, offering food, alcohol, drugs.... tried screaming at them, ordering but nothing worked. They say they love the R32 too much so they are staying on!

Get some bug and tar remover. Although you should rewax after applying the stuff - I have the meguiars one and it does a reasonable job at cleaning the stubborn stuff.

How fast were you travelling? A mate gad a maloo that was often found on the wrong side of the law. Because of this he had embeded some bugs into his paint. Nothing got them out - not even a clay bar!!!

Automotive window cleaner will do the trick.
Spray it on heavily so the area is really wet wait about 1 min then wipe off with damp soft cloth.
You will need to polish it after as the bug splatter will have stained the paint as you left it too long. Need to get them off ASAP as they stain the paint on black/dark cars.

Cheers,

Try these:
Meguiars Gold Class Bug and Tar remover
Autoglym Active Insect Remover

Meg's should be avilable at any supercheap auto, autoglym is at repco.

No idea on cost, prolly around $15 each.
