Unfortunately, driving your pride and joy through the country on a cruise with your friends can end up leaving it covered with dirt and insect guts, which are capable of eating through your vehicle’s paint.
Eagle One’s got something you can use when you bring your ride home: Beetle Juice Bug Remover. It “breaks the bond of bug parts and road grime, allowing them to easily rinse off with water.”
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! Oooops, wrong one. Look for the green bottle below that retails for $7 bucks.
All you have to do is spray it on, let it soak for a minute or two, wipe it off and point the hose toward it. You can even use it as a pre-wash on paint, glass, plastic and chrome to remove junk that soaps won’t. Even better: you don’t have to worry about cleaning off a greasy residue afterward because this product is solvent-free.
Once you wash and rinse your favorite LS-powered set of wheels, break out Eagle One’s Superior NanoWax Spray to shine it up.
Apply a mist of this liquid to your car, take it off with a microfiber towel and let its dust- and water-repellent, nano-sized carnauba wax particles fill in fine scratches and leave your paint smooth and gleaming. It won’t create a haze on or discolor trim and it requires no dry time.

Derek Shiekhi's father raised him on cars. As a boy, Derek accompanied his dad as he bought classics such as post-WWII GM trucks and early Ford Mustang convertibles.
After loving cars for years and getting a bachelor's degree in Business Management, Derek decided to get an associate degree in journalism. His networking put him in contact with the editor of the Austin-American Statesman newspaper, who hired him to write freelance about automotive culture and events in Austin, Texas in 2013. One particular story led to him getting a certificate for learning the foundations of road racing.
While watching TV with his parents one fateful evening, he saw a commercial that changed his life. In it, Jeep touted the Wrangler as the Texas Auto Writers Association's "SUV of Texas." Derek knew he had to join the organization if he was going to advance as an automotive writer. He joined the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) in 2014 and was fortunate to meet several nice people who connected him to the representatives of several automakers and the people who could give him access to press vehicles (the first one he ever got the keys to was a Lexus LX 570). He's now a regular at TAWA's two main events: the Texas Auto Roundup in the spring and the Texas Truck Rodeo in the fall.
Over the past several years, Derek has learned how to drive off-road in various four-wheel-drive SUVs (he even camped out for two nights in a Land Rover), and driven around various tracks in hot hatches, muscle cars, and exotics. Several of his pieces, including his article about the 2015 Ford F-150 being crowned TAWA's 2014 "Truck of Texas" and his review of the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, have won awards in TAWA's annual Excellence in Craft Competition. Last year, his JK Forum profile of Wagonmaster, a business that restores Jeep Wagoneers, won prizes in TAWA’s signature writing contest and its pickup- and SUV-focused Texas Truck Invitational.
