    Re: Removing Insects After/Wax

    It depends on what LSP (wax) you are using.

    Like Rob mentioned above, Collinite products are very tough, and most bug splatter removes easily with just some QD and a MF towel.

    I also use Bruno's method that he explained in post #5.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Bugslide works great for my motorcycle, and also on my cars.

    Re: Removing Insects After/Wax

    If I just washed and waxed my truck and got some bug splatter on it I would use a Waterless Wash to quickly remove it. If I'm planning a road trip I would apply the Blackfire Bug Blocker to the font of my truck and then use the Waterless Wash once I reach my destination.

    Re: Removing Insects After/Wax

    I just soak the bugs with my wash solution - take some thin MF towels and dunk them in the wash solution (car wash soap or rinseless) until they are very wet. Now drape the towels over the 'buggy' areas and let them sit for 5-10 min. Remove the towels and wipe off the area. This removes the bugs but leaves the protection.

    I use this on our love bugs, and it works fine.

    Thick towels are too heavy to "stick" to vertical surfaces, so I recommend thin towels. If your thin towels are 'work' towels, then just place them & remove them, and do the wiping with a better grade towel.

    Re: Removing Insects After/Wax

    I used bug squash for a couple years, and then tried another product and I just won’t spend money anymore on products that protect me against bugs, simply because there’s so many other ways to protect and remove bugs that don’t cost any money; waxes, black painters tape, etc.… The same with getting them off, soaking in hot water loosens them every time for me.

    I have some black 3M vinyl wrap in my closet that I used for another project, I’m gonna put it on a few spots on the main bumper and mirrors that get a lot of bug action, as I’m driving from Fort Lauderdale to Philadelphia in a couple weeks. Just easier to pull off the wrap and throw it away when I get there , hot water for the rest of it.
