Bugs on Paint!!

WTF! i have like 50-100 dead bugs on my car. i washed my car yesterday and there is still dead body's everywhere... does this damage the paint? and what's the best way to get it off?

No wonder i hate spring/summer months. it's not the heat, it's all the damn BUGS!

From my experience the dead bugs body’s get dried up and super stick to the paint. Most of the time if you let the bugs soak in the soap and water there bodies will take in some moisture and come off. If there is still bug bodies on there you might have to use a bug and tar remover. You can get this at any auto parts store. If there is still residue after you get the body off use a clay bar that usually takes care of things for me. Have fun.

Keep a lot of wax on the car. Helps when you need to remove the suicidal insects.
