Been using Honda cleaner polish for years great stuff.

I use Turtle Wax bug & tar remover. It works well. It is hard to get every last bit of bug guts off a black car.

^ And what can we do about it. I don't mind taking it to a body shop and getting it wet sanded and then have a thick clear coat on it - if that would help!!!!

^ I've used it too.... good and cheap product. Works well!!!

I've used various bug removers, WD40, Coca Cola, and whoknows what else. A clay bar is said to work well. There will be a big crowd of experts show up soon to help you out!
I use a few drier sheets soaked with water and they just wipe off then rinse residue. It works amazing it's just too easy! Wish I learned that trick along time ago I use it on my Road King classic

  1. Wet them with something foamy that will stick to them and rinse them after a few minutes
