Forethat Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) The front of one of my cars is covered in tried out bugs following a 800km trip tht included a one week stop during which the car with the bugs was left to dry. I thought it would be an easy task removing them, but that turned out to be easier said than done. Anyone has an advice how to easily remove these little dead buggers? Edit: And in case you haven't noticed; the spellchecker/autocorrection is going berserk and renamed the topic from "Dry Bug Carcasses" - to "Try Bugs Carcasses". But you get the idea.

WarpSpeed Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) I always used WD-40 in the past. Yes works wonders almost instantly on all types of such things including oil's, adhesive, rubber, tar etc. without any paint damage..
