If you don’t clean your car once a week during heavy bug seasons, the bugs’ acidic juices can cause damage to your paint. But when you do get caked-on bugs stuck to the front of your car, you can remove them with a little work.
Step One
Fill the bucket with car wash soap and water.
Step Two
Use your hose and sprayer to wet the areas of your car where the bugs are stuck.
Step Three
Soak the sponge in the bucket of soap and water and scrub the areas where the bugs are stuck. Clean the sponge when it gets dirty by squeezing the dirty water out of the sponge and soaking up clean water in the bucket. Get as many of the bugs off as possible and then let those areas dry.
Step Four
Spray the bug matter still stuck on the car with WD-40 and let it sit for 3 minutes to allow the matter to soften and loosen from the paint.
Step Five
Use the soapy sponge to wash off the WD40 and bug matter.
Step Six
Spray off any remaining soap or bug matter from the areas with your hose and sprayer. Allow the areas to dry.
Step Seven
If necessary, spray the clay bar lubricant on any remaining bug matter, then rub it with the clay bar. The clay will stick to the paint at first but once the bug matter and dirt are removed; stop when the bar glides across the surface.
Step Eight
Mist the spray-on wax onto the areas where you have removed bugs, then use one of the microfiber towels to spread the wax across the area.
Step Nine
Wait 5 minutes, then buff the area with a clean microfiber towel to remove any wax residue.
