Last week under orders from my Mrs I chauffeured her on a drive from Canberra to Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road and on to the Barossa and then back to Canberra across the Hay plain, 3252 km in all. Let me tell you, the mighty R got coated in bugs, it was Rising dead bug coloured in some spots rather than Rising Blue.
In the past on other cars I've had trouble getting all the bugs off without a lot of elbow grease. I went to Supercheap and picked up a black trigger bottle of Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover. It comes out as a thick yellow liquid that stays where you spray it (the label says it's non drip), even on vertical surfaces. I pre-sprayed all the buggy areas and left it a few minutes before my normal wash routine with Chemical Guys Citrus wash and gloss. It was fantastic! All the bugs and their guts etc literally just wiped off, seriously it was that easy! The bottle claims it won't remove wax, I'm not convinced on that front, but that's OK I wanted to wax anyway. I use Autoglym Aquawax on it nearly every wash, this stuff is good, it is easy to apply and looks great.
I know a lot of detailing/car obssessed people look down their noses at lines like Turtle Wax, but this product is the bomb.
Highly recommended.
