Bug removal

jembi · 6th May 2008, 14:59

I have read a lot about how soft/thin the civic paint is and was after some advice as to how I can remove bugs from the front of the car - Am I ok to use a bug shifter pad ?

Also what polish would anyone recomend for a NHB civic type s

Soak them first and let the water soften them up, they'll come off easily then.

I use GUNK bug & tar remover. It is amazing stuff, really works wonders. Great for bird poo too. Bought it from Halfords.

WD40 sounds bizarre but it does work, reapply wax afterwards.

This works well but it's 2.5K

Lots of warm water and a soft cloth, sponges do nothing!
