I have a bottle of some spray from Harley. Rinse area with water, spray this stuff on and wait a minute. Wipe off bug stuff and rinse again with water. There is probably a cheaper non HD brand out there that does the same thing. I just don't know what it is yet.
What tends to work on the lovebugs down here, a very slightly damp dryer sheet. You'll probably want to go back and wipe it down again with a cloth as it leaves a little residue, and don't know what it is about them, but it works well for me.
We clean the bugs off of our new Ambulance's and Fire Trucks with "Scrubbing Bubbles". I use it on my new Ram too. Just spray it on, let it set for a min and them scrub lightly with a soft brush.... Stuff's readily available in stores and is fairly inexpensive...
Ah, now there's an idea ^^^^! Definitely makes their slogan true to form..."we work hard so you don't have to." I'm going to have to remember that! :smileup:
FUKKEN WAX! It comes off as easy as can be! I had 2 week old bird do do on my hood that i didnt have time to clean! i tried water no luck. Fukken Wax it came off in no time!
Since my bumper is painted I would probably cook the bumper if I used Pam Cooking Spray. I just use Purple Power (from Wal-Mart) and let it sit for a minute and wash it off with the hose.
I had a really bad bug issue a few times. They are a pain in the butt. Now this is gonna sound really gross but it was free, quick and easy. To get them off I used spit...Kinda found out by accident after the bug remover wasnt cutting it, I tried the old "spit on a cloth and rub" , and it worked. I guess the enzymes in the saliva break them down...It worked for me, and it gave me a great excuse to have a beer afterwards, you know the dry mouth and all..LOL.
LMAO! Well, if it makes ya' feel any better for having said that haha, my ex found out it's also a good spray paint remover. They tried it when one Halloween, some neighborhood hooligan thought it would be a funny prank to spray paint my Jeep! And while the spit may have worked, the culprit wasn't laughing when I saw him in court.....
I watched a program on TV one day....and the guy recommended using WD40 on the whole vehicle. It won't harm the paint and it actually works well. Even on removing tar and such that kicks up from the road.
I have read through all 3 pages - has anyone confirmed that the PAM will NOT HARM the paint? Also Lemon oil and WD40 - paint safe? For the lemon I would have thought that the acid would eat the clear coat?
I have been using WD40 on my bike plastics for years as a shiner/protector. Whilst I have never directly sprayed it onto paint work directly I don't think it has ever caused any issues. I am gonna spay some on my dead bugs tonight and see what happens. I wonder how long you have to leave it on?
