Bugs all up in my grill

bigbadram1500 · Sep 20, 2011

What's the best way to get all the smooshed bugs off my radiator and all the other stuff they smash into coming thru the grill? I've tried to brush them off but it didn't work well, their little parts were still all over and that's just nasty to look at LOL

Wendy, generally what I do is make sure it's cool to the touch first. Spray it with Adams All Purpose and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then, hit it with a pressure washer, or car wash.

Sweet. I have that Adams cleaner. I will have to do that. We have a small pressure washer.

There ya go.

Ideally any degreaser solution would work for the bugs that pass thru the grill and into the radiator. Use a soft toothbrush and lightly brush them away. Works for me

bigbadram1500 · Sep 20, 2011

sweet. Thanks guys. I could use the toothbrush to get the little parts that don't come out with the pressure washer. Ugh, that just sounds gross LOL but I really need to clean it, it looks bad.

I use a cleaner, let sit, then take a micro fiber sponge to wipe them away

Thanks Luke.
Sounds like the key is to use a cleaner to kinda soften them up and make them easier to remove.

I use this stuff, and I also use it on my camper for the black streaks
Bug Melt

bigbadram1500 · Sep 21, 2011

I know a guy who's got an 08 Hemi 1500, and the previous owner rigged a home made bug screen behind the grille. Its made out of door screen and fastened with zip ties to the radiator supports. It seems to do a good job keeping bugs out of the radiator.

bigbadram1500 · Sep 22, 2011

That's a pretty neat idea.

quietpeen · Sep 22, 2011

you could get the black plastic screen....would blend in better than the metal grayish screen

bigbadram1500 · Sep 22, 2011

Radiator screen mod......sounds pretty cool

quietpeen · Sep 22, 2011

do it and be sure to post pics of how you did it

bigbadram1500 · Sep 22, 2011
