I've used the other basic bug & tar removers to get the bugs off my car. I ordered the 3M Bug Remover, and that's all I will use anymore. I've had the most luck with it with the least amount of work. It was a nasty summer of bugs by me, and this made short work of them, even after they baked on in the hot sun for a few days or weeks.

I have had similar experiences with the products tested. I've found the Stoner's wipes to be effective , but there are alternatives that work very well and are more efficient, and as a detailer efficiency is key. Two products that I've found that perform well are Superior products, and Mckee's 37. They typically remove bug deposits on first application after dwell time when used with a bug scrub sponge. Thanks for the video!

I like the way you did this, but as someone else commented, will you do another that’s nose fair and thorough? It needs to be more consistent, especially given that you ranked the foaming mothers cleaner at the top, but let’s be real… you used it on the corner of the bumper and that section hardly had any bugs to start out with.

I feel like if you would’ve pre washed the bumper with just water. Most of the bugs would’ve come off and would’ve had better results with all products that’s where alot of people go wrong. Find a product you like soak the bumper get a bug sponge saturated with your product and while the bumper is wet, your product should foam up regardless removing all bugs.

But that defeats the exact purpose of this test!! When comparing things why would you want to give them an advantage and thus removing the chance to see what the true potential is of each thing your comparing. If you want to find the best in a big comparison you'd want to put every one up against tough challenges. Then you can really see which ones actually get the job done and which ones can't handle it. What you are suggesting is not at all how you should do it and completely bass ackwards of how to conduct a large comparison

Thank you for sharing this. I fear our bug problem of love bug stains is worse than other bugs. Three days ago we hit a patch of love bugs and when we washed our white hood this morning, the bugs came off, but left a red circular stain. We tried vinegar, Goo gone, and bought Turtle Wax bug and tar remover and it didn’t touch the stain after leaving it on for several minutes, several times. The red dots look terrible and we are thinking we might have to try detailing clay.
