Description

Bug & Tar Remover is a heavy-duty cleaner that safely washes bugs and tar from any vehicle. Bug guts are some of the worst things for automotive paint. Flying insects contain corrosive chemicals that permanently damage paint if left unchecked. The concentrated Bug & Tar formula breaks down the most stubborn dried bugs and tar residue to save the surface from permanent damage. The special formula is safe on bumpers, windshields, headlights, plastics, chrome, grilles, painted surfaces, and more. Simply add 1 - 3 oz. Of Bug & Tar Remover to the normal soap in the car wash bucket to remove dried bugs and grime. For spot treatment, dilute Bug & Tar Remover 6: 1 in a spray bottle, spray on the surface, then gently wipe away nasty bugs with a premium microfiber towel. Bug & Tar Remover is safe for Clear coat and single stage paint finishes, and removes heavy bugs without damaging paintwork. The versatile formula breaks down grease, tar, dried bugs, road Film, insects, and asphalt. The last thing you want to do is use a rough brush or mitts to remove them as this only induces more damage. Bug & Tar Heavy Duty Car Wash Shampoo will remove these bugs with ease along with other fluids, oil and tar spots. Bug & Tar Remover reduces the amount of scrubbing needed to remove bugs and grime, which further reduces the chances of installing swirl marks and scratches while washing. Wash away bugs, tar and grime with Chemical Guys bug & tar Remover. This product can also be diluted to a lesser amount and sprayed directly onto specific areas such as the bonnet, lower half of the car and wheels, left for about 30 seconds then hosed down, making the whole wash process much easier.

  • Easy use
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Works like a champ. Got bugs and tar off easily. Good clean product.

  • The bugs came right off!
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just drove my white truck from Colorado to Missouri and back and the bugs were horrible! I used this product hoping it would help get the bugs off and it worked spectacularly. I simple wet the truck, then applied this product using a foam canon attached to my pressure washer. After letting the foam soak for about a minute, I used a bug sponge soaked in water to simply wipe the bugs away before rinsing with clean water from the pressure washer. ... show more

  • Works well on bugs, tar removal requires more product
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this bug and tar remover on my Crosstrek. Front bumper and lower door panels had bugs and some tiny tar pimples. I have a bug an d tar sponge. The bugs come off great, and my spray bottle dilution as recommended 6:1. Tar did not budge after 3-5 min presoak. I added more product to my spray bottle and it helped, but I still had to fingernail the stretched tar on my paint and rub way harder that likely will scratch my paint. SO I used a fresh microfiber rag with undiluted product. This seemed to work better. So this product is not well suited for tar. A great bumper and panel presoak, it works, but tar is heavier as it dries hardened. So prefer to have a petro-based paint safe product for tar that does not damage clear coating. I suggest "Klean Strip interior Odorless Mineral Spirits" for more effective against tar and wash panel thereafter then apply protection again. ... show more

  • Cleans bugs off car surfaces

Easy to use. I keep the solution in a spray bottle to clean bugs off the car windows much better than the gas station mixture.
