Removing dead bugs and flies...

[ChesterJSY]

After recently being in france the car was splattered with insects and I was given a top tip for removing dead flies and bugs from the front of the car that I thought I would share with you guys.

Quite simply use baby wipes.... I kid you not ! Not sure why it works but they just seem to disolve the flies very quickly and easily.

If it's gentle enough for a baby's bum, it's good enough for my DC5

Good tip. Will try that. I know it works for bird droppings. Lol

quick detailer is really good as well

Would there maybe be something in the wipes that strips waxes though? If not sounds like a great tip!

Well it's meant to be soft to baby skin so hopefully it is too wax too...

Tis a good idea...

Thanks for the tip will try this next time ive been a long trip!

I didn't believe it would work till I tried it but was impressed ! I haven't had a chance to polish the car since but it still beads well on the bumpers when it rains so I'm sure the wax is still doing it's job.

I would argue this cannot be good for paintwork... the fly remains will scratch the surface and leave marring... id get something like Auto Finesse Citrus Power. I've found it to be the best stuff i have ever used for getting bugs off the nose and windscreen of my car.

Even used it on the bugs that were on my Girlfriends car and they had been stuck their for around 6 months and they dissolved as well!

As Coldfuse says, AF citrus power is great, or shampoo and water mixed in a spray bottle with a soft detailing brush

Best stuff to use for removing bug splatter in my experience is definately Auto finesse citrus power doesnt strip any existing wax or sealant simply spray it on, leave to dwell for 2-3 mins then rinse thoroughly, do not allow to dry on.

can be purchased here.
