I was going on a 2hr trip, and noticed that front bumper was covered with smashed bugs, I thougnt no big deal and decided to get a car wash 3 days later, well let me tell you that was a bad move, not my front bumper has these bug stains and I cant get rid of them, I used Bug tree sap wipes, Ive used yellow bottle goo gone crap, nothing seems to work. any advice

 

title said "bus" messed up your bumper.
funny

 

ya missed a G

 

well, my clear bra gets stained all the time. 3-4 days in direct sunlight, sometimes alittle more, and it will disappear. I suspect yours will be the same.. Those yellow ones are the worst, but seem to disappear quickly. Just dont leave the guts on there too long, some will take the paint too Had that happen on my last car. I took a 2 hour drive to memphis this weekend, I ended up washing my car in the dark at 10pm. I didnt want that crap getting baked on. Sometimes just hosing it down or stopping at a carwash just to blow off the larger splats will save you much time days later.

Also, I started using quick detailing stuff (nxt) the front, a-pillars and mirrors before a summer trip. That helps alot too if you have the time. maybe take me 10 mins and clean up is 1/10 of the time.. Often I can hose them off.

 

GGGGGGeeeeessss...I thought BUS ran into you......

 

could anyone reccomend some products to get the bugs off of that car

 

thnx bro, what a good guy

 

i think windex will get it off but it might be too hard on the paint and dont want to risk it...most of the bugs come off each wash but still some are like fused into the paint...and products will be helpful.

 

I came up with the solution that they digested into my paint and it will never go away

 

hahahah.....HAVE HOPE MAN...WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

stoners bug and tar?

never had experience with it. but I swear by their glass cleaner!

 

hahah i dont know, i just dont know its not looking to good

 

meguirs cleaner wax or whatever its called, that stuff rocks- If not, maybe clay bar?

 

For bugs and tar you can use WD-40 if you like chemicals. Another bug and tar remover is detailing clay. If either of those don't work your next option is to try paint cleaners (gentle), polishing compounds (mild) or rubbing compounds (coarse) with a random orbit polisher.

I have all of the above, but just about everything comes off with either the WD-40 or the clay. I use the WD-40 for tar since they constantly are doing some sort of paving near my house, and clay for more stubborn items. The clay requires a lubricant (soapy water, etc.), so follow the instructions.

After you use the items wash, dry, and wax since the wax will get removed by any of these products.

seriously, just get ALL the guts off and let the sun do the rest. Well, at least all the bugs I've encountered in the south from TX to NC. And my clear bra stains very easily. You could have some other sort of bug. Perhaps a drop to a pro might be in order.

Our IP Pathfinder is the same way. We get yellow bugs stains all the time. Week later parking outside and its good again.
