Hello Everyone,
What are some good bug splatter removal products that won't damage or stain the finish?
Thanks

WD-40, make sure you wax afterward.

Bug and Tar Remover. Comes in a green spray bottle... works like a charm.

Kerosene (I think that's how you spell it) If you let it sit a min everything comes off tar, bugs, Ect... And it won't hurt your clear coat!
