Damn bugs!!

Post by Jimmy » Mon Jul 27, 2009 7:48 pm

Anyone got any tips on removing the really stuborn bugs from
1. Windscreen
2. Grill
3. Paintwork.

I wash the car once a week and do it properly but really struggle to get some of the more sticky critters off the car, and of course I don't want to damage the car by using either the wrong cleaning product, too much pressure or the wrong tool....anyone got any tips??
