Well, I had been told that WD40 is a good way to remove bugs and tar off your vehicle. I purchased a bug and tar remover at Autozone before my last car wash, and it really didn't work very well. This time around, I used some WD40. I sprayed the front of my truck, and let it soak for about a minute. I took the truck through the automatic car wash. Most of the big pieces had already fallen off. I then got microfiber towel, and the small specles of bug literally just came off. I had used WD40 on a car a few years ago when some tar got on it, and it worked great, and had no ill effects on the paint. I looked on the web, and WD40 company approves the use of WD40 as a bug and tar remover. I hope this helps somebody.

WD-40 and duck tape....2 things you just can't do without. ;)

 

they make a special tape for ducks?

 

Couldn't you just use duct tape instead? :crackup:

 

Would you believe that's the Canadian spelling? :crackup:
