What to use to remove bugs from your truck.

How to Remove tough road tar and bugs from your truck?

 

Easy.
1. Wet truck with hose
2. Take your soapy wet was rag and slop it around the front of the vehicle, making sure to get it all soapy.
3. Wash rest of truck
4. Go back and wash front end normally

Basically this method allows the bugs to soak and soften up during the time you wash the rest of the truck. They come off really easy using this method.
Tar might require some solvents specific for that job.

 

I shoot them off with rock salt. Leaves my truck with a rustic look.

Seriously though, hipsi’s method. I have a spray gun that makes soap foam. It’s awesome.

 

WD40 for the tar.

This is what I was talking about before asked.

 

My truck's nickname is "Monsanto" cause it kills colonies of bugs on every road trip. There's a few bug and tar sprays, but they do about as good as a little elbow grease.

 

Best sponge or cloth to wash the truck without scratching it?

 

I use the towels and such from there. I bought the large kit from there with towels, bucket, and scrub stuff.

 

I bought some stuff called Road Kill bug remover, comes with a bug sponge and works pretty good.

 

microfiber

 

Yep.

 

Letting them soak is key. If you are only wiping them off and not washing the truck, spray them with quick detailer and let it soak a while ...reapplying as needed. Wipe with a damp microfiber.

 

What do y'all think?

 

Wet soapy rag for the win. Sorry

 

Best thing I have ever found for removing bugs is a dryer sheet. Soak it in your soap bucket and then go to town on the bugs.

It has just enough "grit" to it to get the bugs off without scratching the paint.

 

I couldn't tell you if they still sell this, but I got a can of this from my dealer parts guy years ago and it's done the job for me.

Part number is 00289-1BT00

 

Car wash!! works for me all the time

 

Baby oil for road tar. Cheap and works great

 

Does that come in trd badging? Asking for a friend
