    After using S.G. over 7 years on countless cars, I have never seen any damage. Every car you have seen posted has had Simple Green sprayed on windsheild, frontend and mirrors. I wash my truck and Benz bi-weekly and spray them down everytime since new and no damage at all. I can truthfully say this is the best thing ever made for removing bugs and grime. I would love to see the link to damaged pics.

    Another car that I have been using Simple Green since new (washed today), now 3 yrs old and washed weekly.

    SA Detailer, you detailed some nice cars. Do you ever detail regular car like Ford or Chevys?

    What do you use to wash them?
    Do any details on any of them? Let's see some full sun shots!

    edit...where did you get your towel wringer from?
    In the business world, the rear-view mirror is always clearer than the windshield.

    In the past, I've mess up some paint using SG, I didn't dilute.
    I use Bug Squash now.

    I have never used Megs APC to get bugs off. I know Justin uses Megs APC, don't know if he uses it for getting bugs off. PM Justin, He's a nice guy and has help me out before.
