Bug Removal: The Products & Know-How to GET IT DONE!

[Nick McKees37]

"Ewwww! That's nasty!"

Bug season is here in southern Florida which means the front end of your car will be getting way too personal with the insect that fills our highways, the "love bug." I don't think the love bug is a good match for the front end of our cars and neither does Diamondite, which is why they have a product designed to erase bugs.

Bug Eraser, by Diamondite, is an intense cleaner designed to break down bug remains before they cause any damage to your vehicle's delicate finish. As soon as you spray Bug Eraser onto your vehicle's paint, glass, chrome, or plastic trim, it immediately starts softening the bug remains, making removal effortless. It's so advanced you can even use it without water for on-the-go bug removal.

Finding a bug-infested car in the Autogeek parking lot is no time-consuming task because this time of year brings love bugs, and lots of them. Jason washed his big blue Toyota Tundra a couple days ago and in no time it was infested with bugs.

Once again; "Ewww. That's NASTY!"

Diamondite Bug Eraser is the big block in your Chevy and the Safe Scrub Bug and Tar Pad is the limited-slip differential that helps transfer all that power to the ground.

At this moment you're probably thinking that I don't like Jason. Why would I rub something so coarse against the finish of his truck? Because like anything else, when used properly, the Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad works like a charm. Not only does it work like a charm, you'll often think Autogeek should have charged you twice as much for this wash-tool as it makes removing bugs and tar effortless.

Using the Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad is simple: First, fill a 5-gallon wash bucket with water, add a high-quality soap, create some suds, and let it soak for five minutes. It's just like pre-heating the oven before baking cookies.

While the Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad was indulging in the natural coconut oils provided by Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo as it soaked in the 5-gallon wash bucket, I went ahead and sprayed a liberal amount of Bug Eraser all over the front end of Jason's Tundra.

Diamondite Bug Eraser is safe on:

• Plastic
• Chrome
• Paint
• Glass
• Rubber

Diamondite Bug Eraser clings to the surface, allowing maximum dwell time for its advanced cleaners to break down bug remains.

By the time I had sprayed down the front end of Jason's Tundra with Diamondite Bug Eraser, the Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad was ready for use. For anyone that has used a Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad, you're well aware of how soft it gets after a couple minutes of soaking in a high-quality wash solution. It becomes very malleable, reassuring its claims that it's paint safe.

Another tip with the Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad: Don't use a lot of pressure and rinse often.

The Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad isn't the only tool that makes cleaning bug remains quick and easy. The small Wheel Woolie comes in handy for cleaning in between the front bumper gap.

The Daytona Speed Master Jr. cleans more than just wheels. With its flexible step and super soft bristles that conform to every surface, the Daytona Speed Master Jr. works great for cleaning grille slots.

Once I finished cleaning the front end, I gave it a thorough rinsing with a strong jet of water and dried it using a Cobra Guzzler Waffle Weave Drying Towel.

After thoroughly drying the front end of Jason's Tundra, I applied a quick coat of Diamondite Crystal Gloss. Crystal Gloss can be applied to glass, plastic and paint to provide a quick coat of durable protection. It leaves a super-slick polymer coating on any surface that it's applied to, making future bug removal quick and easy.

What's better than a vehicle free of bugs? A shiny vehicle free of bugs. Diamondite makes both possible with Bug Eraser and Crystal Gloss.

Become an advocate of working smart, not working hard. Use the Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad. Like pre-cooked bacon that only requires a couple seconds in the microwave, it's sure to surprise you.

Nice review Nick.

Man I guess I'm super lucky living by the beach in So Cal. We don't really have bugs to worry about. I rarely see bugs on bumpers and when I do, its usually when the car went on a road trip away from my area. I can only imagine what hits your bumpers in Florida. The bugs there are insane.

The bug season has already started up here. I dive for 5 minutes and there are bug guts all over my windshield and bumper Diamondite is one of the few products I haven't tried.

Give Bug Eraser a try.

Nice write-up. I guess when you use Bug Eraser (or other bug removers), it will strip your wax or sealants??

These are both BOGO !

Bugs are acidic, and that's what removes your wax or sealant if not removed right away. After using any bug and tar remover, it's a good idea to follow up with a quick detail spray or spray wax to boost your existing wax or sealant, making future bug removal effortless.

These are both BOGO !

Good eye!

Nick so the Safe Scrub Bug and Tar Pad will not put swirls in paint if used as directed?
