use blackfire sealant and meguiers m21 sealant and the bugs just wash right off with no elbow grease. To get those off though...your just gonna have to scrub, scrub, scrub with a microfiber wash mitt when washing.

Cool, im guessing I can just pick those up at autozone?

some auto parts stores have m21...I get it at o reillys here locally. But youll have to order the blackfire sealant from an online retailer

Do you need both Meguiers m21 sealant AND the Blackfire sealant? Which would go on first?

Thanks

While your at it look at Chemical Guys Second Skin...I just ordered but everything I have ever gotten from them is amazing and true to what they say.

Wet dryer sheets work great to remove bugs.

You could also use a auto clay bar with a lubricant. The clay bar will remove bugs tree sap and other surface marks. You can pick a Clay detailing kit form Wal Mart for around $17

If you go this route just remember, you can never use too much lubricant.

You can take those little things off with a micro fiber cloth and some detail spray.

You are quite obviously driving too slowly for the shock wave to keep them away from the bumper at cruise, and dislodge the ones that accumulate whilst running up to speed.

Even the cheap wand wash +/- foaming brush seems to get all of them and their "little memorial deposits" off my bumper, front license, grille, windshield, etc. OK.
Everything but that little wind deflector at the front of the panoramic roof, which seems to catch them even better than a bumper. I let em dry a bit and use an old toothbrush.

Truly the easiest solution. I use USED dryer sheets (don't have any idea what the active ingredients in those boogers are and don't want whatever it is on my vehicle) dipped in Optimum No Rinse solution and all that dried stuff comes right off. Got the tip from the detailing section on this website. I think it came from BuckeyeSRT. Lotsa good detailing tips there. :thumbsup:

This makes me want to cry...I can only imagine all of the horrible clearcoat scratching items in the brush Most people clean wheels, etc with those. I won't even use the same microfiber mitt on my vehicle as the wife's because she could care less and manages to hit every puddle of whoknowswhat.

I'm not touching that line.

This is MY foaming brush on a power washer, not a coin op.

After every use, it gets rinsed and then cleaned with the power washer high pressure mode...

get 'em wet, and keep 'em wet for half an hour or so.. then use a wash sponge with a nylon mesh back to knock 'em off.. with lots of soapy water..

I used this technique for the first time when I had to de-bug my shiny new GC for Carlisle this year.. after driving 370 miles.. I was surprised how well the "get 'em wet and keep 'em wet" idea works..
