Bug kills

Just got my 2K3 SE and it is great, my third Max.
Wheen driving at night I get bug marks on bumper, any good cleaners for this?

Porsche Tequipment Insect remover is a good one.

It is also good to rewax the area that you clean. Something good to use here is Pinnacle's Crystal Mist.

I've never used a bug cleaner but I just break out the clay bar (Clay Magic) to de-bug my Max. Works great and smooths the surface really nicely.

An old pair of pantyhose removes bugs nicely.

And as far as something to remove the pantyhose, liquor works nicely

Seriously though, pantyhose works great.

Using a clay bar removes all polish and wax. Plus it is a delicate process that can cost quite a bit. You're going to have to polish and wax the car if you're going to clay it. Here are some links where you can purchase bug removers:

I find a clean cotton cloth, warm soapy water & a little elbow grease works great.
