Too many bugs
This may seem silly, but I have bugs on the front of the vette, and can't get them all off. They wash off but seem to leave a shadow in the paint. I have a 50th Anniversary vert and have tried everything, but can still see them. I even used gasoline but its like they are now in the paint. Has anyone else had this problem? or am I being too particular? Any suggestions would be welcomed

Yes instructions are in the kit. Once you use the clay bar you will be hooked. Do not drop it on the ground because it will be ruined. Did this with the first one I bought and felt like a kid dropping his ice cream off a cone. You can also tear it in half and will be just as effective and have an extra if needed.

You are not being too particular. Try the clay bar route first. If that doesn't help and you don't feel comfortable using a buffer and polishing compound on the car, see what a body shop would charge to try and get the stains off.

But, as recommended above, Rejex is "Da Bomb" for wiping away the disgusting fragmented azzes of insectiae off your front bumper.
