how do you clean bug guts off your car?

[lozina]

I made the painful mistake of neglecting to wash the bug guts immediately after my driver, instead letting the guts bake on for a good week and a half. Now it's almost impossible to clean them off... best advice I can find is to use WD40 which really doesn't do anything much. Just leaves a greasy mess but the bug guts remain.

Got any tips?

lots of scrubbing for me.

lol I'll never be able to clean all of the bug guts off of my car. I would spend a nontrivial fortune trying to keep my car clean if I was worried about that. I live in the country... I probably kill thousands of bugs with my car every day.

Car wash works just fine, but then again I don't let the car sit in the sun so the guts can bake.

I use a dryer sheet for the front bumper. They just wipe away.

a clay bar will take crap like that off, but you don't want to overuse it

megiars gold glass bug and tar remover followed by meguiars nxt speed detailer... easy and simple...

Pretreat the area Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover or Rain-X Bug and Tar remover - then spray with water. For the stuff that won't come off, use a clay bar with lube (quick detailer).

I think all the fancy chemicals mentioned use kerosene as the base, so you might want to try that.

I just cover them up with cat guts.
