Im tired of this crap

jimmything08 · 05-01-2004, 01:39 AM

Ok, Im tired of looking at all of the bugs on the fornt of my car and not being able to get them off with car soap or even going thorough one of those high pressure sprayers.. What can I use to get those bugs off and also clean my truck to leave a great shine?

sausagefingers76 · 05-01-2004, 01:44 AM

Man...what kinda bugs do you have in Ohio?! Do you not wash your truck very often? I've never had a problem. I have to spray it a little longer than the rest of my truck but it just hoses right off. You might try getting some bug/tar remover. That stuff works great. Or probably just some carb cleaner, kerosene, stuff like that works well too.

jimmything08 · 05-01-2004, 01:45 AM

Lol... I dont wash it as often as I should and I didnt hardly wash it at all this winter... Only through the drive thru wash a couple of times.. Its just build up Id guess.. Im going to completely wash the truck tomorrow and polish the wheels and exhaust tips and everything

Got-20z · 05-01-2004, 01:47 AM

i usually use detailer spray and if that don't cut it all off.. ill plug in the electric buffer with some zymol wax and put some ass in it and they come right off

sausagefingers76 · 05-01-2004, 01:48 AM

ahh...i've never used an automatic car wash. everyone's car i've seen always looks like crap afterwards. Not clean at all. And besides it's WAY cheaper and better to hand wash it at the car wash. At least in my opinion. I can soap, brush, wax, and spot free for $1.50. But that's running like crazy.

I dont have a buffer or anything, Im a poor high school kid.. lol... I just need a polish or something to shine my truck with and also something that will get those bugs and other tough spots off my truck

Got-20z · 05-01-2004, 01:55 AM

well the zymol works good with a wax applicator pad as well
and that meguires quick details usually takes them off easy
but either way man a cheapo buffer like i have from walmart is like 15 bones

just use the wheel cleaner at the car wash and then use the high pressure washer. hold it about twoinches from the bumper and go slow. this should take most of it off. then use some bug and tar remover and a bug scrubber sponge. if u can't get them off like that, you are phuqd!

Offthehook · 05-01-2004, 06:02 PM

you must have some serious bugs ours come off with water and we only have a few

Scott01 · 05-02-2004, 05:42 PM

Bug scrubber and a little elbow grease.No need for laziness while cleanin your ride.

The bug scrubbers also do a great job on the grime on the lower rockers too

GoofyGuy · 05-02-2004, 05:48 PM

do you have love bugs though

cold_s10 · 05-02-2004, 05:50 PM

What works for me is spray WD40 on the front end of your car let it sit for a while and then scrub it down with a bruch then rinse.

blksdime03 · 05-02-2004, 06:01 PM

Use A Credit Card An Scrape Em Off...but Only On The Windshield

X-2000 · 05-06-2004, 10:42 PM

use a netted sponge type scrub thing...or something like that...i think you know what i mean...and some elbow grease...and if that doesnt work, take the ol clay bar to em and that will do the trick

blkyellow03X · 05-06-2004, 10:49 PM

I know what you are saying......One night down here in GA and my truck is plastered in the front with bugs

suprax · 05-10-2004, 02:20 AM

I picked up one of those netted bug scrubbers from Wal-Mart today for like 97 cents so we'll see how that works out when I have some bug-scrubbing time! The netting seems so rough but I don't think it will hurt the clearcoat.

nothing like a sat. morning car wash hustle to get the blood flowing...I can wash my entire truck for 2.00 bucks, thats in about 5:00 minutes, depending which car wash I am at.

Hey when you got a couple of bucks to burn. No better way to spend it than giving you're truck a quick wash.
