Got a call from my friend who runs 1320video that he just came back from a trip to a Pikes Peak Event. Decided to take his Lexus out there and trashed it with bugs. Luckily for him, my bug and tar removal products just came in.

So.. After looking over the car I came up with a game plan. First up was Iron X all over the car to help remove particles in the paint and to liven it up a bit. Also during this step, I Iron X'd the wheels and washed the tires with an CG APC.

Next up was a foam bath that I used CG Citrus Wash and Mixed in Bug and Tar remover. I also made up a mixture in a spray bottle with the BT remover to hit harder filled in areas.
Worked like a charm:

Next Process after drying the car, the tires were coated with CG VRP and I ran an orange pad with a coat of HD speed. I am loving this HD speed for a AIO product.
