Bug Removal
Anyone have any secrets for removing bugs splattered on the front of their vehicles. I've tried numerous sprays and solutions but they seem to remove only about a third of the bugs.

I like to use a mild dish detergent and water solution. Spray on and let soak. Spray again and let soak then wash as usual. I use it mainly on chrome and the front plastic panels only. The solution does mildly strip wax.

Try a piece of 100% nylon cloth or a pair of your somebody(s) nylon pantyhose, works wonders.
Remember removing the legs and connecting parts first make them easier to handle. LOL
