| | | Pinnacle Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad Hello,
Has anyone used this? Are the results that good? A buddy of mine suggested using brake cleaner on a rag and then wiping the area with the bug guts or tar.
The rocker panels of my truck need some help.
Thanks for your advice.

| | | The scrub pad is AWESOME a def good buy! IT does not scratch the paint. The brake cleaner is about as good as putting kerosene to your paint..... Dont do it...

| | | I agree 100%, it makes short work of most bugs on the front of my cars without any need for anything harsher than my regular shampoo.
It's one of the best bang for the buck items you can get. |

| | | i just got the pad in my last order as a filler to get the order up to $100 for free shipping. used it this last weekend and even after letting it soak i was skepticle of putting it on my paint. i turned out to be so smooth and effective it is now my second favorite tool (next to the foam gun i got in my last order). I use it on the front bumper and windshield as well as underbody and wheel wells. It is so smooth and easy to clean that I don't worry about getting grime in it like I do with my microfiber wash mitts. |

| | | Use it all the time. Takes off even the nastiest bugs and doesn't mar the paint.

| | | I find Poorboys Bug Squash and a MF towel is all thats needed for most bugs, tars, and other sticky contaminents. You can also add it to your wash for extra umph. Dont use scrubbers much ! |

| | | Sweet - Thanks guys for the feedack! I think I might have to order the pad. I was also looking at the Chemical Guys website and they had a few products that may work. But, this seems like a good frist step.
BTW - What does the foam gun do?
Thanks

| | | I use the pad. I cut the pads into 3 smaller squre pads (with a serrated knife). I even hv one in the shower. Works really well on soap scum. |

| | | Now some bud&tar remover has Kerosene in it. Right off the bat, Stoners and Turtle wax brand dose. Never use brake cleaner or fluid on paint or plastics on your vehicle.
