Favorite bug splat removal products/method?
Was wondering what YOU use for bug splat removal and what type of media to you use with it?
I just spent about an hour on the front of my F-150 with a MF mitt and some carwash solution thinking there has to be a better way. Came here and looked around in the store and there are SO MANY products. Just as many ways to agitate them loose/off too.
Thoughts?

Re: Favorite bug splat removal products/method?
I start off by blasting the panel with water with either a pressure washer or regular hose. For cars that are not waxed regularly I will use Poorboys Bug Squash 3:1, spray on liberally and let sit for about 1-2 minutes without allowing it to dry. Then use a MF towel that has been soaking in a separate bucket with soap and water and lightly wipe off. For maintained cars I would just soak the bugs in ONR at quick detailer dilution instead and follow up with a spray wax.
AG carries a bug sponge that seems to work well.

I haven't used very many specific bug removers but over the weekend I used Garry Dean's Friggin Awesome In And Out Cleaner and it removed the bugs without issue. Keep in mind that I haven't hand washed my car since right before Detail Fest and many of the bugs were baked in. It also removed tar without effort.

+1 for diluted APC and the yellow bug sponge. Unfortunately someone stole my bug sponge while it was drying in the sun out front of my house last week! Neighbors must be jealous of my Autogeek supplies.....

Do you do this on your hood paint also?
