I did not clean my car after I got back from Colorado..
Did not realize there was so much Bug guts on the front.
My god! What have I done? First wash and I see I missed many of the bug nastiness. DEAR GOD HELP ME MAKE IT GO AWAY!

Try the pvr approach - loads of wetted kitchen roll on the front, leave (but don't let it dry out) for a while, then remove. I've tried it after reading a post about it from pvr, and it works!

Wire wool or sand paper are good for that job

If it's dried and crusty then do with cotton towels and hot water from kettle until they soften. Nb. If you're using kitchen roll, Dont be tempted to scrub with it.markeg wrote:Try the pvr approach - loads of wetted kitchen roll on the front, leave (but don't let it dry out) for a while, then remove.

Same with bird pooh, sometimes you get those seagulls that eat don't know what, and leave that gluey pooh on the car, that stuff is a nightmare

wouldn't snow foam help soften it up? let it soak for 5 minutes then spray off. then soak again with snow foam and wash off.

I find copious amounts of wax prior to the drive helps also. But that's not really helpful at this point.

Buy a cat. A cat will eat the bugs off.
Not all of them (in fact, hardly any of them), but it will happen.

don't leave sea gull/bird poop on the car for extended periods, it eats your paint underneath.
