whats the best way to get rid of bugs from the front of my car?

 

Pre-soak your car with some bug, sap, and/or tar remover. Follow up with a wash using the two bucket method.

 

I have an old fleece type blanket I place over the front of the car and wet it down and leave it for 20 min or so then wash normally ..

If they have been there for a while you might need to polish them out if they are etched in .

 

Use this stuff. I'm always amazed at how well it works.

Prevention is best- Meaning- Wash and thouroughly clean all paint- especially the front. THEN- 2 or 3 good coats of synthetic wax. Synthetic lasts longer. You'll find that when you go to clean off bugs- Frstly- there will be a lot less because they just deflected off- and "B" they won't stick as much so removal is a cinch...

Mooisture, as Dale stated is the best known. It softens up the splatter allowing for easier removal......Keep the area wet, they'll soften up and wash right off!!

 

twice a week i drive to work early in the morning, and cross over a lake where a lot of bugs hang out and end up on the front of my car...

when i wash i presoak the frontend and start cleaning the wheels, tires and wheel wells...after each wheel i keep spraying down the frontend...by the time my wheels are clean and i go to wash the rest of the car the bugs are pretty soft and come off easy.....

 

nice, good to know. Luckily, the bugs dont stay in long enough for me.

 

you dont have bugs in california...i lived in the bay area for 5 years and i never had the kind of bug traffic on my car that i have had living in the midwest or the south....too much heat and humidity, the bugs love that shit....

 

If you hit any part of the I-5, even in Northern Cali, you'll definitely hit some bugs, hehe. Of course it woudn't be as much compared to the Midwest.

 

i almost qualified that with exception to the vally....
