Couple of questions and a comment?
I was wondering does anyone have a method of getting the bug marks off the front of the outside of the car??? I hate those!!!
Also, what is everyone using to clean the leather??? I use amor-all spray, im not really liking it.. What are you guys using???
One more thing, i used that mr. clean car wash and i think its awesome!!!
Especially when you start to dry the car, it sprays that mist on the car to dry it. I never thought it would work but its amazing, i love it!!

I use Poor Boys Bug Squash for the bugs. For the leather cleaning I use Gliptone. Try putting it in a spray bottle with water and get it to foam spray on then brush and wipe off with a microfibre cloth. Don't forget to condition your leather afterwards with Gliptone Leather Conditioner.

Lay a beach towel on the front end where the bugs are, and saturate it, Leave it saturated for 10-20 minutes, bugs will fall right off........
As for leather care, use a warm water dampened MF weekly to wipe seats down, then apply a conditioner (to applicator, mf) every few washes........

this will have the bugs come off, but you may need a wash soap to take the bug guts off. I use Z-7 and spray and let it soak on there, it helps a lot to get them off with a simple wipe. As for the leather, I use LEXOL cleaner and conditioner. If you want something better, I hear the Z-9 and Z-10 leather stuff is amazing.

Exactly what I do in both cases .. I'm not too fond of bug sprays .. a lot of them also remove the wax/sealant.
I have an old fleese type blanket and I just wet it and tuck it in all the nooks and crannies and leave it set while your washing the tires/wheels etc or vacuuming .. It will soften most even the stuborn ones.
If you still have a few lwft after tha a dampened used dryer sheet will also help remove them.. just be careful the sheet can mar if you get bug parts in it.
