What are you guys using that works good for removal of bugs and bug guts? Doesn't matter if it strips wax. This would be on customer cars that I am stripping anyways and doing a full detail on.

poorboys bug squash. I've also used the stuff from sonax and 1Z Einszett(which I don't see on the site anymore) and the pb bugsquash beats them both hands down.

Thanks guys. Read some reviews on the PBS. Think I'll go that route. Thanks again!

Another Bug Squash user here. Love the stuff.

When doing a bucket wash, I'll also use a bug scrubber sponge. Typically I'll spray all the buggy areas with Bug Squash and let them soak while I'm cleaning the wheels. Then I'll go after the stubborn areas with the bug scrubber as I wash that part of the car.

Mosquitoes LOL, you haven't lived until you've tried to remove 2-3 day old baked on love bugs down here in Do. Florida!

And love bugs will etch paint in a couple days. They are heinous.

They bake on like epoxy resin.

PB Bug Squash does pretty good.

I've heard of the legendary 'love bugs' of Florida.....agreed our mosquitoes are no match for them....but it was someone in Florida who told me about the Kenotek product...that's why I decided to make it part of my arsenal

Being in NH I don't have the problem Florida has with Love Bugs, or those big "Tremors (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100814/)" that they get in Arizona, but I have found a new tool that deserves some credit. The McKee's Road Kill Bug Scrubber (http://www.autogeek.net/bug-sponge-for-cars.html)

I let it soak in a bucket with some high lubricity car shampoo (Megs Hyper Wash) and it just works amazingly... Dried sap, crud, tar, etc... gone! No marring either.

IME, nothing I've tried even comes close to a wet fabric softener sheet. Some won't use for fear of marring, but if you're doing a correction anyways, why not? 100 sheets for $5, or so.

I like this one way better:

And how does it perform on love bugs up there in Ohio?

This is a prime example of Love Bugs baked onto a car. A pressure washer will barely make a dent in these unless you want to blast your paint with 4000 psi.
