Insect Repellent

[v41ley]

What's the most effective way to remove the splattered remains
of all those insects. I can shift the hardware (bodies, wings etc)
but there always seems to be a mark which re-appears after drying
off. Anyone got a trick up their sleeve ?

Meguiar's bug and Tar remover with a terry towel. Works a treat.

Babywipes - universally acknowledged as the best thing to clean anything!

Car polish, it also helps to stop them sticking like glue.

Be careful with bug & tar remover - some of them are rather good at removing your carefully-applied polish, too!

Just apply soapy water, leave to stand for 5 minutes, wash off. I use a floorcloth, as the texture removes the little dears rather better than a sponge.

Strange, a wet sponge and a bit of elbow grease has always done the trick for me. Then again i don't splatter many bugs, most of them overtake me

Gunk..........spray on, hose off.

Being a car valeter and having to do more than anyone's fair share of bug removals at the mo I use a TFR (Traffic Film Remover) diluted in a 1 litre sprayer, spray it on and wash of straight away with a sponge and car shampoo, don't leave it on too long as it streaks. Also Nielsens (www.nielsenschemicals.com) do something called Cyclone for removing flies, spray it on and watch the bloody run out of the little critters, again wash off straight away. Cyclone is about £12.00 for 5ltrs and will last quite some time as it's a 5/100 ratio. Or if you want the cheapest option WD40 does wonders for flies tar spots etc and it's designed by NASA which not alot of people know or probably care about. A wet mictofibre cloth is good also with a little elbow grease.

Hope this has been of some help.
