    DP Road Kill Bug Scrubber

    Last night I had my first experience using a bug scrubber, and now looking back I wonder why I've waited so long.

    Due to fading light conditions and a need to get the vehicle cleaned up before it was totally dark I don't have any pictures. Even if I had, I'm not sure you'd want to see them. The insect carnage on the vehicle was pretty disgusting.

    Vehicle: A 2013 Toyota Highlander that had just completed two lengthy back-to-back road trips in less than a week. Here in my part of the mid-west that means combinations of thick woods and/or expanses of bug-laden agricultural land. The front of the car was totally pasted with remains and splatters. Worst I've seen any of my cars...ever...

    Prep: Before I even pulled out the hose or started washing the wheels, I heavily covered windshield, front vertical surfaces, and side mirrors in Poor Boys Bug Squash to let it soak.

    Results: The bug sponge worked like a charm. Despite well Bug Squash works, in this case all it really did on painted surfaces was soften the mess. In lighter situations, the spatters would have rinsed away at first contact with the hose. This is where the Bug Scrubber comes into play. Due to the amount of bugs I ended up washing the entire front end of the vehicle. I was really impressed. Simply gliding the Scrubber over the surface lifted the mess right away. Several places took repeated passes, but that is to be expected when they were baked on for a couple of days.

    In the end, I saved a ton of time with this product and it worked wonders on a heavily bugged vehicle. The debris/mess rinsed right out after each section with just a swish in the rinse bucket or a quick blast with the hose. I'm glad it's now another tool in my arsenal.

    I bought half a dozen of them from AG last year. I give them to any member of my family who will stand still - they are that good. (Unfortunately, my family tends to run when they see me coming so I still have 3 for myself!)

    I'll also chime in. I love these things. So fast at removing bugs and other stuck on junk. I use it all the time on customers cars.
