Second Poorboys. As for OTC the only thing that is good is Stoner's Tarminator but it is occasionally hard to find.

I use bug squash and a "bug" cloth. Looks like a perforated, ruberized MF towel

3 things I use: Poorboys BUG Squash, dampened towel layed over the bug around and let bugs soak in moisture, and only on my own stuff my powere washer at an angle to the paint. Basically bug squash is the top of what I use.

On windhsields I will use Poorboy's Bug Squash and about once or twice a year I will use some Bon Ami to remove built up road grease and such.


I don't believe in grit guards.

Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It's good to be da King !!!
