    Zep to remove bugs and tar??

    Well, I am just wondering if Zep Citrus-based stainless steel cleaner/degreaser is safe to use on paint. I used quite a bit of it in combination with my usual Turtle Wax bug and tar remover liquid to remove the bugs and tar from my lower sills. I felt it worked very fast and very well, but I am worried about using this on other vehicles. I first got the idea from a detailing video that showed the detailer spraying a citrus-based degreaser on the lower portions of a supercar to help remove bugs and tar. Thanks!

    Re: Zep to remove bugs and tar??

    Ahh the infamous handwax applying super detailer video... I`m sure if it says "stainless stell citrus blah blah blah" and has no dillutions ratios specificn for painted surfaces, I would stay clear, simply because it might have other in active ingredients that don`t play well...

    There are many other citrus cleaners that do stay are safe for painted surfaces though, might wanna skim thorugh homedepot`s isles a bit more.
