Best Bug, Turd and Tar Remover?

[Gebo]

What is your opinion as to the best Bug and Tar Remover? My Stoner has run out. I don't care 'bout how safe it is. I just want it to work.

If you are just trying to clean small areas I found that the old WD40 works as well or better than most commercial bug and tar remover. If you are trying to clean a large area and you really dont care about safety full strength Purple Power works really great, just make sure you rinse it off really well.

I use the Turtle Wax spray on type. It’s thick enough I can leave it on a vertical surface. A little soaking helps. Still requires a bit of scrubbing with a rag.

Tarminator is potent. You could use an APC like Optimum Power Clean at full strength. Citrol 266 is also good. Most of the citrus degreasers are using around .3-1.3% d-limonene, which are great organic solvents. P21s Total Auto Wash is a good one....3D Orange Degreaser. Power wash it off.

Kerosene, AKA Oil lamp fuel, AKA Tiki torch fuel, etc. Plain old soap and water for the bugs, and a bit of soaking.

Tar-X is some strong stuff... works better than prep-sol.

Diesel fuel works pretty well. Just wash it off quickly afterward.

WD40 works best for me. Gets tree sap, tar, asphalt. Washes off easily too.

Rain X actually has a very, very good bug and tar cleaner..... Thick viscosity spray and let it sit for a minute to 2 minutes... Stuff wipes off with a paper towel.

+2 on the WD40

I use ONLY )))HOT((( water on bugs for the front fascia, windshield & outside mirrors and WD40 or gasoline on really tough tar.

Mineral Spirits. An old timey recipe.

When I detailed for a living this worked well for me. A bug sponge was still needed for seriously baked on guts.

Cleaner wax on a windshield sponge/mesh applicator.

TarX for removing tar and bugs. WD40 for turds.

I would be willing to use whatever I could find. I’ve been to Walmart, Home Depot, and a few local places and no one seems to carry bug and tar remover as of late. Seemed like every auto detail brand had one and now I can’t find anything.
