removing bug splats
During the summer months, how do you guys remove baked on bug splats on your front ends? My entire car is mint except for the front bumper

other than washing a couple times a week, there is a cleaner specific to bug debris. i think you can get it from pepboys etc. i know the dealerships use it cuz when i had my door repaired last summer, the toyota body shop did mine w/o me even asking! it looked brand flippin new! i mean it was immaculate! Uniontown, PA Toyota/Scion DA BOMB!!!

A good quality of wash helps the best, and once it is done make sure to use a good wax.....I recommend Mequiers or Mothers....oh and clean the paint after washing....a good paint cleaner will do. Plan on spending a good amount of time on doing it right.
To give a good example I usually spend 3-4 hours once a month on the car. The rest of the time is about 1-2 hours, just keeping it looking good, as good as white can look....lol

yea that's all good info. you just can't let it build up. get em while they're fresh. its tough if u do a lot of highway driving! that's what I used to do.

WD-40. It is the best bug remover in the world. If I am in between washes, and just have a couple little bugs, WD-40 is the way to go. NO joke it works wonders.

btw......if you use a dryer sheet after you get it wet......"gently" rub them off and it wont scratch your paint....
