    tried to do a search on this but it said that you couldn't search a 3 letter word. So my ? is: what is the best product to use to get bugs and tar off of my paint? Thanks for any comments.

    The best way is , once you have it clean, apply a few good coats of wax and it'll make it easier to remove in the future. As for getting off what you already have on there, there is a ton of products availible, I use nothing but Adam's polishes and cleaners and my 07 JGC SRT8, Charger SRT8 and C6 Vette look showroom shiney. Be careful and use a microfiber cloth to help avoid scratches when cleaning .

    Yikes! You'd think that would be abrasive?

    The turtle wax bug and tar remover works pretty well too and you don't have to rinse it off with water. Apparently it has some kind of wax in it as well just wipe off with clean towels.

    When I first heard this trick I laughed. Then a couple more members agreed.
