so the other week i did my buddies car again for his yearly cleanup

bought the product not too long ago and figured with all the bugs on his car i would try it out ...

I did the usual rinse and spray down with a light diluted APC and use of a bug sponge on the front end ...

after applying sprays of the product on the car and rubbing it and removing the bugs with bug sponge i noticed a plethora of gumming up and oozing of the cleaner througout my sponge and was so slimy and gross feeling and also did not do a very good job at removing any bugs at all...

I would rather use soap and water with apc and elbow grease and a good pressure washer .

i give this a huge thumbs down and caused far more mess than cleaning what its supposed to up !

nonetheless i went out and bought a whole new bug sponge now .
 
Wow I find the stuff works great for me and I have done some pretty nasty baked on bug covered front ends. Let it soak for a couple minutes and hit it with a bug sponge.

And Kerosene is much cheaper, it's basicly the same thing.

Yea but the K1 works better than the TW
TD don't know if you have tried this but when you have a lot of tar put the K1 in a deep pan and set it on a burner and warm it up the warm kerosene will really remove the tar.
 
hey dude look for a bug remover product that has an enzyme within it. the enzymes will break down the proteins (the bug guts) with minimal elbow grease. just make sure to mix it accordingly, i mix it to about 10% chemical, 90% water.

Haven't warmed it up but back in the days of maintaining a fleet of school buses, Eagle Coaches and garbage trucks I used K1 with a pressurized sprayer and a diesel fired heated pressure washer to clean the road tar and other stuff off.
