My car had some serious bugs on it. I live out in the country and in the Summer, holy shit there are a lot of bugs. I was searching the forum for how to remove bugs better, but previously I've used Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. They work pretty damn good, even without soaking.

However, I just waxed my car with NXT 2.0 liquid tech wax or whatever the hell, and I really don't want the magic eraser to screw up my wax job.

I've done that myself a few times in a pinch when I had nothing else.

I usually keep a supply of paper napkins a small spray bottle of plain water in a car to remove bugs and bird droppings as soon I see them.

sorry, but that is going to be a lot of spit.. I just dont have it in me..

Clay bar with soap works for me, but it also removes the wax if you waxed your car.

^La's totally awesome also takes the wax off if you're using it straight and not adding any water. I probably shoulda included that.. whoops!

We used to use it to get the bugs off airplanes at the airport I worked at though. .. nothing quite like getting dead bugs off a plane that's been sitting in the sun for twenty years... eww hahaha

I use 50% hydrogen peroxide 50% water in a spray bottle with a micofiber cloth. Bugs will fizz up and practically melt off. One of the best things to this homemade solution is it doesn't remove wax and is safe with clearcoat and doesn't scratch. I use solution often on my 2007 Yaris and 2012 Sonata SE.

To remove pesky "Love Bugs" I use a wet Dryer sheet. One that has already been used works best. New ones will leave a oily residue on your car and it takes effort to get that off as well.
