Tar & Bug cleaner removes wax?

[smooth72]

Maybe a silly question but I always wonder if bug and tar cleaner or all purpose cleaner removes your sealer and wax. I sometimes avoid using thinking it might.

I asked that question a little while ago to the Poorboy's folks in regards to their Bug Squash product. Their response was as long as it is mixed per the instructions, it would not affect the LSP.

In general:

APC most certainly (and most bug and tar cleaners) will degrade or remove your wax.

They will degrade a polymer sealant as well and depending on where it as in its lifespan remove it. Some sealants it will remove completely regardless of lifespan.

If it is got a solvent in it like citrus oil then it will dissolve the wax.

Ive never used a Bug/Tar or APC product that didn't remove my LSP.

And you have to ask yourself... If they don't remove wax, how will they remove bugs or tar.

Thanks, I thought so. My wife car seems to get a lot of tar on it. It's her daily driver, guess I try avoiding using it unless I have to.

It will remove wax. If it removes sealer depends on the sealer used.

Of course you have the option of using a paint coating, which shouldn't be effected at all.

I read a thread about the 1eznit bug and tar remover where a member did a review on it and he mentioned it did not remove his LSP.

Poorboys bug squash @ 3:1 seems to keep your LSP in tact. May weekend but it doesnt destroy it.

Does anyone know if the Diamondite Bug Eraser removes LSP? I believe it would but I don't know.
