how do you guys get the caked-on bugs off your bumper before washing?

 

Move to wash and wax forum.

 

I get them off while I'm washing. Clay helps me out a lot. Multiple passes. don't try to get it off in one shot.

 

i use a sponge that has a special neting on it that is used specifically to remove the bugs...it works well and is not abrasive to the car...

 

Pre soak ! As long as you can soften them buggers up, theres no problem with removal. Take some microfiber towels and soak them in water before you wash, lay them over the bugs, on the bumper about 15 minutes b4 you wash the car. It will soften them up and allow for easy removal without any rubbing or chemical treatment.
