Damn Flies

[sparkesp]

Ok, Ok eneryone has this problem.... damn flies hitting your pride and joy at speeds that are incompatible with their bodies......

The problem is, those little blighters stick on as hard as weetabix.

Any suggestions for products to assist in their removal?

Elbow grease

Wet some paper towel and leave it draped over them for a while to soften them up. Same trick works on bird poo. Or there are 'Bug and Tar Remover' sprays available but never tried them myself.

I just use plenty of water and a microfibre cloth when cleaning the car but those bug remover pads are good if they have gone to weetabix levels of hardness. They're like a cotton covered sponge with a sort of mesh/net thing wrapped around them. They're fine on your paint, but the mesh is very good at shifting the buggers with a little added water... I think you can get them from Halfords for a couple of quid

AH... halfrauds... I'll pop over tomorrow... if not I'll call Weetabix!

Used a months supply of elbow grease today... I'm knackered, but she does look good.

Put some flypaper all over your windscreen with two small holes cut out to see where you are going they will stick to that and you will have a clean windscreen!

Nah, take the windscreen out and wear goggles - but don't smile 'cos the little blighters will get stuck in your teeth!
