How do I get lots of dead bugs off my bumper?

Paul · Apr 1, 2011

I drove to Vegas last weekend, and drove home at night. There are about 68540348064 dead bugs on my front bumper and windshield. It's like an insect halocaust. How do I get 'em off easily, because I know the carwash won't get 'em all.

A combo of your favorite car wash soap and elbow grease my friend. You can buy a specific insect genocide erasing solution which will most likely leave bits behind (spray and walk away my @ss) and still require elbow grease.

armor all has a bug remover that you can get at walmart. Worked better than anything else I could find. Fairly cheap too, about 12-15 bucks a bottle.

Dammit. I'm too lazy for that crap, but I'm dyno-ing my Honda tomorrow (because it makes a million horsepowers) and I figured I'd make more horsepowers with less bugs. I hate washing cars. Stupid bugs.

I don't have car wash soap, and I don't wanna spend twelve bucks for a bottle of bug-goo eraser.

My bumper has so much wax on it that i dont need to use a bug sponge. I once drove 400 miles and got alot of bugs on my bumper.... But it just wiped off with QD Spray.

Paul, you need to wax your bumper.

It's a honda? Leave the bugs on...

lol.. Elbow grease was the first thing I thought of when I seen the thread title... Huge bug problems up here..

I use this: works great!

Bug & Tar Scrubber

that and your car wash soap works fine.

if you've got a dried on/sun baked bug omlet, it helps to soak it with a good degreaser first
I use this and it works great on bugs, tire grime & wheels

Unlike you, I have a real job, a life, a girlfriend and don't spend 20 hours a week cleaning my car. My car gets waxed regularly by a guy who details cars for a living at a Mercedes dealership. I don't have the patience or time for that crap.

Take the car to a body shop and have them paint over the dead bugs.

Was that really necessary? I understand you and Handz have a history of disagreement but you came here looking for advice and he tried to help you without being snarky. I'm not sure why you couldn't do the same.
