Unless you put in guttah grill, Are you tailking grill or radiator? I use bug tar remover on the stubborn ones but really I just wash it good and voila!. I use a hose on the radiator btw.

There are quite a few things that work well on bugs. Of course, Fukken Wax!

But, for simplicity (and cost) - dryer sheets, bug/tar remover etc - all good items to remove bugs from your ride.

I was talking grill and hood from those bugs that get splatted going 75 on the highway that are a real pain in the a$$ to scrub off.

Dryer sheets, huh, I might have to try that. As well as wd40. Never thought of or heard of using them.

Turtle Wax Bug off!

Spray on heavily and let set for about ten minutes. Then pressure wash off. What's left I remove with windex and a micro fiber towel.

yea I usually use windex, spray it on and let it sit for a bit, and wd40 works great too

the first time I painted my grille with spray bombs I had to sand the whole thing down to the original surface because bugs were embedded in the paint

I don't do WD40 just for the simple fact that it usually takes the wax finish off and I don't like that.

my local carwash has a bug remover setting on their sprayers, it literally melts the bugs off, no scrubbing required. bugs can get really really bad out here in MO.

WD40 is awesome. Never used it for cleaning off bugs, but it's great for getting old stickers off.

Simple easy plug.
Fukken Wax
I'm gonna have to cough up some cash and try this wax you speak of. But for me I just use a lot of elbow grease. I don't want too many chemicals on my paint. My paint is messed up enough as it is.
