misterp Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) The best bug remover I've used hands down is Bug-B-Gone (made by same company as Sea Foam). Several here have posted products you spray on before-hand that keep the bugs from sticking between washes but I cannot remember now... Mr. P. ps - don't go more than 10-14 days between washes or the bug acid will eat into the paint. Edited August 27, 2007 by Mr. P.

smoke03 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 my truck gets washed 1-2 times a week whether it needs it or not! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Keeping a good coat of wax on your truck makes bug removal easy when washing.......I also clean that crud off every couple days with some Mother's spray detailer between washes. As far as your windsheild goes, any good name brand window cleaner should do the trick, I use Clear Vue or Invisible Glass I think Prestone makes Bug Wash windshield washer fluid.........

SSThunder Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 my truck gets washed 1-2 times a week whether it needs it or not! lol Don't wash the paint off lol I wash the ss 1-2 times a month but I don't driver her much. I can't stand cleaning bugs off the front. I've got some new stuff I'll use next time. Hopefully it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rausche Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I'm going to start using the Clear Bra, it's been praised on the board and is being recommended to me by a good friend, we'll see how it works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSThunder Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 is this stuff top secret? what is it? not top secret, just can't remember the name. I'll look at the bottle when I get home and see what it is. I'm thinking it's the stuff MrP mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
