Default Bug & Tar Remover

I was thinking about getting some Bug and Tar Remover for the front bumper and the rear bumper.

Is it harmful to the paint? Or rather to the Clear-Coat?

nope they are great products...

which one are you looking at?


they will remove any wax or other protection, so you gotta rewax after.

Didn't really have anything in mind, but I know that you know your stuff, so I was wondering if you could suggest something to me that I could get at a Auto Store and not have to order online... if you don't mind of course.

One product I've used that I am completely pleased with is the Honda spray cleaner and wax-next dimension by Amrep. It cleans and polishes, has a uv protectant, repels water and has anti-static properties.

It works extremely well at removing insects, a 14 oz spray can costs about $5.50.

I've used "Tarminator" by Stoners before... worked AMAZING on my truck.
