Any ideas on how to go about cleaning the front bumper that has bugs and other stains on it that are not comming off too easily.
It is a silver 3.2tl
Thanks

First, just let them soak for a little while to loosen them up. A MF towel wet with wash soap water should work. The just wash normally.

Second, try some Bug and Tar remover. This will typically remove any wax/sealant so reapply to the bumper when done washing.

Third (if the first two didn't work) hit it with a clay bar and lube. Re-seal/wax when done.

i actually bought some tarminator, i followed the directions and doesn't seem too effective. is spraying bug and tar remover into a mf cloth the best method of using bug and tar remover?

Usually works for me. You sure these are bugs? How long were they on the paint? They can "etch" the paint if left on for too long. May need a PC and some polish... Try the clay bar first, though

Let the bugs soften up a little with some water/soap. Adding the MF to the mix prevents the moisture from evaporating before its necessary. Still the best trick in the book, sound advice.
