Ever notice the white-slurry while using moistened dryer sheets to de-bug...I have.

According to the good folks at P&G (Downy Dryer Sheets):
-That's the: White Clay-suspending-agent/water mixture.
-The sheets are of: "Thermoplastic particles"...,

But so is: Nylon (Polyamide)...
(As in: 70/30; 75/25; 80/20 products.)

IMO...
-Wetted-Dryer Sheets...Using no undo pressure...Will perform most de-bugging tasks-at-hand.
-The slurry needs to be removed ASAP; and it never hurts to apply some more LSP
of ones choice to the vehicle's surface-areas that's been so: "dryer sheet clayed".

Safe Scrub & Polishing Towel, microfiber towels, detailing towels, polishing cloths, bug removal towels

I have this one and it works great for bugs, sap, miscelanous sticky stuff from who knows where, and bird poop. I keep one in the glove box of my truck with a small QD bottle for those days where I'm feeling really compulsive about being clean.

That sponge looks cool though. I may need to get one.

If the bug guts are on the bumper lights etc, I have used Bug Squash from poorboys. Spray let sit couple minutes rinse or if heavy use mf and light pressure. Worked great for us!

Fastest (not necessarily the safest) way I've found is using a solvent (bug and tar remover) and a bug brick. I then wash and clay the area and do a light polish to remove any marring.

I usually pre cut mine to a readily usable size, then pre-soak in bucket of warm water to soften them up before use.

If you want the bugs off why would you leave the "white slurry" on? I do remove it right away. works like a champ

Could it be: At my age...It doesn't take much to entertain me?
