If you have already tried this sort of product, then you could try Maguires Scratch X. This is a very mild abrasive clearner. So is it just paint work your struggling to remove bugs from, or plastics and glass as well ?. | ||

Registered Member #8 Joined: Sat Jan 14 2006, 12:00AMLocation: Southampton Posts: 213 | A clay bar is always good for removing bugs and any other hard to remove particles such as baked on brake dust. My recommedation would be the Sonus clay bar; http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/detailing-clay/c_9.html Image: http://www.scnm.net/ e107_plugins/ coppermine_menu/ albums/userpics/ NEILSIG4.jpg | ||
