When I owned a high volume detail shop, a lot of our customers would go on long road trips then drop off their car when done. They inevitably had hundreds if not thousands of dead insects across the face of their cars.
We tried lots of solutions:
- Citrus pre-cleaners
- Bug/tar removers
- Claybar
Nothing worked as well as a foam “brick” we bought from our detail supplier called a “bug brick.” Here’s how to use it.:
- Drop the “brick” in your wash bucket and allow it to dwell for about 3 minutes.
- Get your mitt nice and soapy and wipe gently over all over the areas with dead bug remains.
- Now that your brick is softened, wipe in a circular motion over the dead bug guts, then rinse.
Absolutely nothing removes bugs as fast or thoroughly. It’s odd because you’ll feel like you’re scratching the car as you use the “brick” but when the car’s dry you’ll clearly see you did no damage.
You can buy these “bricks” for $2.95 each here:
