Default Bug removal Sponge

I have I have residue of bug suicides and have a difficult time getting rid of them. Will the bug removal liquid and sponge get that stuff? And is it going to damage my paint? Thanks

Becareful on some of those harsh sponges ... I simply saturate the area with Poorboys Bug Squash. I cover the area with a damp towel and allow a minute or two and then lightly wipe with a soft MF towel.

Here's a recent towel designed for bug removal, and I look forward to testing it soon as another option :

Whatever you do, get it off the paint quickly. Bugs like Love-bugs in South Florida can do a lot of damage quickly.

Thanks, these are really old and I think, don't know if its possible, they're part of the clear coat now. They're way past recent and really irritating.

buggies , just like birdie doo-doo, can indeed etch paint. Often times a little abrasive polish will remove or reduce the damage. It is important to protect the area and as offered get these things off paint quickly.
