Bug and Tar Remover I did a search on the site before hand, because I was sure this has come up before. The search offered no help so here it is.
The front end of my Z is covered with bugs especially between the fog lights. I have tried the turtle wax bug and tar remover before, but with not much luck. Does anyone know of any other product that had better results. I would really like to get those off my car. Thanks.

I've had the best luck with diluting degreaser 3 parts degreaser to 1 part water. First spray the front with water then spray the degreaser and use a mitt to agitate. Dont let it sit too long. I only use this if the bugs are severe, otherwise I just use a clay bar after washing.

Turtle Wax BTR for me. I swear by it, it gets all the tar/bugs off that I ever get. Of course, I never let that crap build up for very long on the car, so it could be a lot harder if you did. Don't be afraid to rub it hard. You can always, and should always, wax the area after you use that stuff on it. I usually use it after I clay, so the combination of those two does the job for whatever I need.

Thanks for the info guys.
I was going to wash the car this weekend, but then it started snowing.
Oh well. Hopefully I won't be too busy this week at school so I can wash it.

I tried the Bug and Remover by Gunk. I had always liked stuff by Gunk, especially their foamy engine degreaser, worked great on our dirtbikes. When I sprayed it on the front of the car, it smelled like paint thinner. It did nothing for the bugs. I did not have any luck with this product. Does Meguires make anything... their stuff usally works well.
