What about dried/hard pine sap? Would you go about it the same way as bugs?
After detailing cars for 50 years I always learn something new from Pan every week.
Glad to hear that! Even after 27 years of detailing, I still like learning new things.
@PanTheOrganizer Hey pan, how are you?? Love the car, and ive watched your videos for over 7 years now!!! I was wondering if you can find a big lifted truck with polished forged wheels. For example american force jtx forged or signature forged or fuel forged just a few examples. These wheels cost 10-15k canadian and I don't want to watch others when it comes to cleaning and protecting therfore I was wondering if u can do a full series on how to do a wash and decontamination wash and put a coating and what coating is good for them?? All the videos I've found show how to polish them ect... but taking care of them for maintenance washes are a big issue and coatings on polished wheels are a lot different than stock wheels. I'm buying a set and don't want to screw them up Thanks!!!!
Big fan of G-techniq here. One tip I’d say is to put your wipers into service position so you avoid getting the chemicals on them when spraying the windshield.
I pre-treat, but then I foam over that. I find that it helps reinvigorate the pre-treat spray and the clinging foam helps dissolve the bugs.
Yup
Love the channel Pan! Best way I've ever found, and bonus, it's free: take really hot water, maybe even use a kettle to heat some up (no need to have it boiling though). Don't even need soap, but you can add some if you like. Then take a cloth, soak up the hot water, and lay the cloth on the bug guts for a minute or so. It will make them come right off without scrubbing at all. And no scratching paint! No rinsing even needed if you didn't add soap. Might have to run some clean water over it after maybe, but not usually. Try it, you'll love it! I learned this trick from my sportbike days when bugs would make the front of my yellow bike black :) . Another rider passed it on to me.
Good tip! I knew about it. It’s the same principle of softening the bugs and bug guts to make them easier to rinse off.

Perfect timing. In Missouri, the cicadas are absolutely absurd right now
Yeah from the looks of the comments it seems many of my viewers were happy with this video's timing! :)
I'm close to you in Western Illinois. Right where I live in Macomb we don't have hardly any. But I went to Peoria a couple days ago and they had them thick there. I got lucky. They are thick along the Mississippi too.
I’ve used Griot’s Garage Bug and Smudge remover as well as a product called Bugslide. Griot’s leaves a little film if you use on glass and only wipe down with a microfiber cloth. The Bugslide product doesn’t leave a residue but works well for motorcycles on longer roadtrips to help keep windshields and fairings clean. Thanks for the show today!
Thanks for sharing!
Great video Pan. Appreciate the focus on the process. I use P&S Bug Off, it works so well to clean off bug guts before my contact wash. Man, that was a lot of bugs on your car!!
Thanks!
It is that time of year again. I did a major bug removal last weekend, and find having a ceramic coating, really makes bug removal a breeze. Without a coating, I think two or three rounds of pre-treatment would have been required. I think many still use those scrubbers, which do work, but damage your finish. Great tips here, as always! 🇨🇦
Thanks Linda! And yes having paint protection, especially a ceramic coating, REALLY helps making cleaning much easier and faster.
Just wet the car, spray the purple bottle of Super Clean on the bugs, wait 45 econds, spray with water and wipe off. It doesnt hurt the finish at all if you don't let it dry. So easy and so cheap. Dont make a bigger deal out of a simple task.
@valvodka some people like to do things the proper way, which generally require more time and effort, and some people like to do things the quick and easy way. Each is their own.
Great video. A follow up video idea for you. How do you manage bug guts while on an extended road trip 3+ days.
I don't go on extended road trips with my car. Less than a day, then back at home. If we go on longer road trips, we use my girlfriend's vehicle. :)
But if you have to and want a safe solution, bring a rinseless wash mix, or a good waterless wash like this: bit.ly/4agKKpw
Also bring a plush microfiber towel, spray on the surface generously, let it soak, then gently wipe. That should do until you are able to safely wash your car again.
Great idea@@PanTheOrganizer
Great question. I left the bugs on my car when I did my trip from San Diego to San Francisco bc I wanted to see how great my cleaning detail foams were. Bad idea. It baked into my brand new car just a little and took forever to get out.
Def should’ve brought some waterless or rinseless wash w me which I did w a spray bottle but I used it only on the windows.
Make sure the car is coated first, of course. I went on a week long trip to Ashville, NC and had a ridiculous amount of bugs on my car. I sprayed them down with rinseless and then went to a touchless car wash during the trip. $12 and all the bugs were gone. Did a proper wash when I got home.
Did the same experiment as the guy above. My wife drove from VA to NY and back. She's not as into detailing as I am and didn't care that the car was dirty. The bugs sat on her car for about 4 days before she let me wash it. Even with TW Graphene Flex Wax protection, the guts were absolutely baked. It took a lot more work than I expected to get them off. She agreed to let me wash the car as soon as we back from our road trips.
Pan, thanks again for some great tips, also noted your reply re extended car trips and rinseless. Is the process that you used also fine on non coated PPF? Cheers.
I just came back from a 3 hr road trip and this is just the video i needed. Pan coming in the clutch. ❤
Let's go! #clutch
Wow. Great timing of this video. About to go out and clean up some big guts. Thank you !
Thanks Roberto!
Super timely video... I was just looking for bug removers.
Glad I could help! :)
Thanks for your continued sharing of information and your skills! I really appreciate how you have stayed true to passing on information that has been consistent through the years. Other detailing channels have waffled back and forth on techniques based on what products they are trying to push 🤠🇨🇱
Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback Randy! I appreciate it.
Your videos are not too long, I like how detailed you are.
Glad you like them! And thanks for the positive feedback. As my channel is designed for those who like me, are passionate about car detailing, I like to be thorough in my demonstrations and explanations. Knowledge is key, so I want to get the message across for everyone to understand, so that everyone can enjoy detailing at home.

Straight up guilty for using those bug scrubber sponges before I started watching Pan videos 🤦♂️
Now you know. ;)
Thanks Pan. Something Canada and Florida have in common…lots of bugs!!! Very helpful and straightforward. Thanks again!
Thanks Dave!
Great Video Pan!
Thanks!
Beautiful as always, thank you very much
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice video pan! I'm currently useing W8 and it's been working out well. Cheers 🇨🇦
Good pick!
I love BugsN'all bug remover. It works great.
Great video, Pan. Thanks for the helpful info.
Thanks Victor!
Carpro bug remover and Lift do a great job!!!

Hello, thank you for the great video, I really love your workshop, everything is perfect, everything is neat and clean... and your educational videos. Greetings from Slovenia
Thank you very much! Here is my full garage tour video: czcams.com/video/wx6HTBAzeXI/video.htmlsi=ce5SxEwHk5LiNnhn
I use P&S Bug Remover in conjunction with Gyeon Foam - the combination works great! As always, thanks Pan for another fantastic video!
Good combo! 👍🏻
Agree with your tips, have always used bug remover products to make the job easier. Yes, my latest is the P&S Bug Off foamed on at a ratio of 10:1 (water:chemical) and that seems to be all that is needed if have protection on paint.
👍🏻
Thank you for an updated video. How are you enjoying your new Porsche SUV?
I'm loving it! Comfortable, spacious and practical. And dead silent inside, so I can enjoy my music. The Cayenne is already very well noise insulated, but I also got the optional sound insulated privacy glass.
Great video pan! Gyeon bug and grime is what I have and works great!
Thanks!
Great info as usual!, all boils down to process and good products. Here in Florida timing is essential and allowing the contamination to "bake" on is no bueno, even on coated/protected vehicles. So asap in my routine is a non negotiable.
Yup, regular maintenance is key.
Thanxx Pan you got me exciting over detailing and I'll start a detailing-course next month😉

Hi Pan. Cool and informative video as always! Thanks for posting. Question...My front bumper/grille is a chrome-colored plastic. I work at keeping it clean, but it has some etchings (from before I purchased it). How do I remove bug etchings from a front bumper/grille? Please advise. Thanks!
Thanks Pan for your reply. Keep doing what you do. I learn something new every time l watch your videos or about new and old products.
Thanks, will do!
Hey Pan, thanks for all the videos, you rock. I'm from Saskatchewan so this one helps a ton. An idea for a video would be tips and tricks to washing a car in a garage, I have a double garage here but have never considered washing in it, especially in winter, but it's something I should look in to.

Congrats on one million subs, and also great video. I once had the genius idea of using the spinning mode for cleaning patios on my license plate thinking it would be stronger and blast the bugs off, it blasted a hole through my license plate and I needed a new one lol. Was only £8 though.
LOL omg!!! How much PSI is your pressure washer? Don't go beyond 2000 psi to wash cars (138 Bar). I set my pressure washer to 1000 psi (69 Bar)
@@PanTheOrganizer 2600.
@PanTheOrganizer great to know. Have you done any videos on Pressure Washers recently?
Another great video sir. For me this was very useful information. I appreciate your dedication.
Glad it was helpful!
All time Favorite. CarPro BugOut😇
Very good!
Great video pan! Thanks for the info. I use the turtle was bug and tar remover. it works really well for me.
Thanks!
Just tried this after a road trip last weekend. The bugs were on my car for about a week, longer than i would have liked, but I had no time to wash. This method worked well for me. No scrubbing outside of the regular contact wash and no bugs left. Thank you :) Also worth noting, my car is ceramic coated.
Great to hear!
Pan, I am 4 years into my detailing weekend warrior business. I just want to say thank you for helping tens of thousands detailers across the planet. Your a detailing legend bro

Thanks Mike!
How’s it going Pan, every now and then I like to watch your videos and always feel like I learn something new. I just washed my car this morning and I used 3D Car Care’s Bug Remover. I find it to be very effective and notice that even with one spray, it begins to pull the bugs off the paint. I believe you should give this product a try and leave your review on it.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Very informative video. I hope you are enjoying your new Cayenne S.
Thanks John! I’m loving the Cayenne!
Last summer went on long road trip thru upper Rockies. My vehicle was bug covered each day. My wife and friends we met up there were surprised that I sought out a manual car wash each evening to remove most of that days bug damage. Worked for me. Maybe not most techi solution per the professional detailed but most practical and nice to start next day with clean windshield.
That's a good temporary solution until your next proper hand wash for sure. Better to have the bugs off rather than letting them bake on the surface for days or weeks on end.

Perfect timing Pan! Tis’ the Season! I’m curious about Maniac Insect Remover have u tried it?
I haven't yet.
I have used Meguiar’s Bug & Tar Remover.
I use 3D bug remover spray. It works great but it’s definitely strong. It says it won’t damage any existing waxes or sealants but I find that it does weaken the coating every time I use it. Do you think diluting it will help it not weaken the pre-existing coating?
I have a small professional detail shop in Illinois and we are blessed to be the home of Superior products! They have effective products at great pricing packaged for volume detailers. They have two products that I use on every detail this time of year. 1) Bugs b gone 2) Dark Fury. I use bug cleaner full strength if needed, but it dilutes 1:1 ok. Foam sprayer if possible, if not a quality chemical resistant sprayer works. Spray liberally in shade let dwell but not dry and spray off with pressure washer. Second pass if needed spritz on let dwell snow foam over and blast off. Tris works the vast majority of the time if not add in a bug scrubber and now’s the time to use it with all this lube on the surface.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Nice video bro keep it up ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
Thanks!
As always good content Pan. Just wanted to pass on I’ve utilized McKee’s N-914 in a 32 sprayer with success very similar to (and some cases better) bug removers. 29oz water to 3 Oz McKee’s. Cool panel, wait 30sec to 1 min and a damp gauntlet towel. Works very well here in South Louisiana.
Thanks!
Great video. I have been using W8 for a while now. Did you ceramic coat the black plastic front grill with the same coating as the body?
Yes. Paint, glass, wheels, plastics, lights.
Hey Pan. Great video. I use Bilt Hamber Touch-Less. The sugar based surfactants do an excellent job of breaking down bugs. I think it's better at breaking down bugs than it is at breaking down road grime.
Thanks!
I use Gtechnique G8 too as it simply works. For those of us with Hydro ceramic coatings DIY rinseless wash sprayed on for five minutes is very effective too. Thank you for the video.
👍🏻
Correct
Great video! I took your word for it and got the Gtechniq Bug Remover and it is a game changer, thanks for sharing and helping me save time! Though, one thing I still need help with is properly cleaning side skirts. Mine get VERY dirty and I don’t know what chemical to use to clean them. The only thing that seems to work is pushing hard during contact wash, not sure if that’s what I should be doing though. Please let me know what you would do and what product you’d use. Thanks!
What pre-wash snow foam do you use? Perhaps something like Koch Chemie Active Foam, CarPro Lift or Bilt Hamber Touch-Less will help, before the contact wash.
@@PanTheOrganizer I use CarPro Lift (and follow all directions), but even still, it does not make my contact wash easier in terms of removing the embedded grime and whatever all those spots are on the skirts. So this is not a problem for you ever?
I just ordered some ADS Adapt for quick bug gut and bird poop removal when im not near a water source. Havent recieved it yet but im hoping it will work well with some very plush microfibers for a soak and wipe
That should work! For more intense situations, use a bug remover and then wash the car.
Would you recommend using a higher ph foam like Koch Chemie as a pre treatment on cars even if there are no bugs or guts?
Great video Pan thanks as always.
Yes you can use Active Foam as often as you want.
Great video Pan. Do you need to reapply the ceramic coating after or no?
No. A true coating (in a glass bottle) lasts for years and has tremendous chemical resistance. The bug removers I spoke about in this video are all safe on ceramic coated cars. Most of them are made by brands that produce coatings (Gtechniq, Gyeon, CarPro, P&S, etc). So they are totally safe.
I've used Meguiar's Bug & Tar remover in the past. But is a spray can, and it lasts for two cleaning. So, I think the product is good, but it don't last. So, I'm looking for other options that can be used more than twice. For example, in your cleaning today, you probably have used 3/4 of the can to apply the same surface area that you most likely used 1/4 of the Gtechnic
Thank you Pan. You da man! Quick question…..I just bought a new vehicle. The vehicle is 4 years old and I have no idea if it has a ceramic coating or not. Do you still recommend these products for a vehicle that does not have a ceramic coating?
Yes 👍🏻
Pan, love your videos. Can you please make a video about correcting stone chips (touch-up paint/brushes/thinners/sanding/cutting/polishing etc)?
Thanks! I don't do stone chip repairs unfortunately. I leave that to paint shop experts.

Great video, Pan. I am curious if you recommend the same products for bird droppings?
Thanks for your informative. Videos !
A simple washing of the car is sufficient. There are no bird droppings specific products that you need.
Another great video! As someone else mentioned how would you deal with an extended trip where you have an extended time between washes where you accumulate a lot of bug guts. Thanks
Same issue here. I'm maybe not doing long car trips but rather longish journeys to car meets or shows. I wash car previous evening, then in the morning 2-3 hours on motorway. By the time I arrive, front looks like a graveyard. My process: first ample amounts of bug remover, wipe off with soft microfiber, then waterless wash, wipe off, finally ceramic quick detailer, wipe off. Takes 20 mins or so. When I'm back home, I wash car as soon as possible. I have ceramic coating so that certainly helps in this process. But would be nice to hear if Pan has some tips for improving my process or better alternatives.
Thanks Matthew!
Hello Pan, excellente vidéo, j'utilise Carpro, ou la marque française 4S-W qui marche très bien. Je roule souvent de nuit sur Autoroute et c'est un vrai carnage 😱. Comme tu l'as précisé, il faut enlever les moustiques sur la carrosserie au même titre que les fientes : marquage sur le vernis. D'ailleurs le goudron provoque aussi des marques indélébiles si on ne le retire pas. C'est bien là la différence entre un lavage et un detailing 😁🤓🙋
👍🏻
Your video really bugs me lol, I couldn’t resist, fantastic video Pan 👍😁
Haha thanks Dave!
Pan, you are the man! I’m so glad you got the Porsche Cayenne, one day I will get one similar. Do you think you will get an AMG G-Class next?
Who knows what will ne next. For now, I’m fully enjoying my Porsche!
Bugs n all from Amazon has always been my go to. I wonder if you have ever tried it or maybe could tell me if it’s safe on coated vehicles. Thanks Pan!
I haven't.
When should I apply the rinse less wash ? After bug spray or before ?
Hi Pan, i have a question for you, what product i should use to remove bugs between the washes if is a small amount of bugs and i dont want to let them on the paint until next wash? Thank you for your time
A good rinseless wash or waterless wash with a plush microfiber towel usually does the trick.
Years ago before I knew there were bug cleaning products out there, I used Goop hand cleaner. The reasoning was that if it works so good and is safe to use on my hands, then it's safe enough to use on car paint. It works well but to apply it there is a slight abrasion as it must be rubbed onto the paint.
Freakin Bugs!! I like this product and will grab a bottle for the summer. Once used a different brand on my Rain X coated windshield and it pulled up a very thick gel onto my wash mitts. I was so disappointed. I had to throw out my mitts. I won’t make that mistake again and I have since stopped using Rain X.
My Cayenne is ceramic coated as well , plus I always carry bead maker with me and being the OCD sad case I am with no life , I always clean the front of the car when I stop on a road trip , or when I get home on a short trip lol .
I haven’t seen any prewash melt away bugs as easily as touchless. I’ve used bug removers and foam over that and it works great. But touchless by itself is plenty strong
Merci pour les informations ! J'ai été confronté à des soucis d'insectes très incrustés justement : j'ai commencé par du spray pour les insectes puis pré lavage avec un shampoing hard (ph+) mais il y avait toujours un "halo" dans le vernis, j'ai donc recommencé avec une étape de décontamination mécanique (Iron x Foam) avec clay towel : pareil, puis clay bar : pareil... Shampoing acide et shampoing alcalin aussi : pareil...
J'ai d'ailleurs fait sauté ma céramique à force (je ne sais pas la marque de la céramique d'ailleurs, posé avant l'achat de ma voiture...)
J'ai fini par une étape de polish en double passe et là, j'ai enfin fait disparaître les halos d'anciens insectes morts dans le vernis...
3D Bug Remover is fantastic. Dilute 5:1 in a CarPro Dilute bottle. Spray on, let sit for a minute, watch the guts melt off, spray off, admire clean car. 😁
Thanks for sharing!
Did you have PPF on your 911 Turbo S? I have one on order, I should have it at the end of September if all goes well and there is no rug pull. Would you recommend PPF?
I did not (other than the factory PPF on the rear arches). I am just not a fan of the look or feel or PPF. Plus, as I get a brand new car every three years, and do low yearly mileage, scratches and stone chips are of no concern to me. My cars are always pristine when I bring them back to the dealership.
But for people who keep their cars for many years, and want the ultimate scratch and rock chip protection, PPF is the only solution. I would still recommend a ceramic coating on top of the PPF, for the best of both worlds.
Pan, one of the least expensive harmless way's I have always removed bug's, bird dropping's and tree spore's from my vehicles is pulling my vehicle in a shaded area or preferably in the garage and placing a wet towel over the area affected and letting it sit for 30 min or longer then wiping the area off w/ a micro fiber or soft terry cloth. I have never had a problem w/ this as it softens everything up, even that hard center point area and wipes up easily w/o scratching. Thx for your videos.
There are many methods for sure. The goal is to safely soften the bug guts to a point where they are easy to rinse off, without mechanical agitation required. :)
I've had great results with 3d bug remover. It seems quite aggressive so definitely have to be mindful not to let it dry on the car. I'm not sure how it affects ceramic coatings, I just use a coat restorer after using bug spray anyways.
Sorry of topic, Pan I was wondering if you were going to do a follow up with the new version of cerakote
Yes absolutely. I received the new version late April, and have been testing since. I will have a video up later this month.
Great video! What would you recommend to have on hand to clean bird poop off my car? I.e if i can’t wash my car right away but need to remove the poop.
A quality rinseless wash or waterless wash, with a plush microfiber towel would do the trick until you can properly clean the car.
I’ve found turtle wax bug spray works good then foam pre wash after 👍
Hey Pan, by the size of area that you got hit by bugs. Maybe is a good idea to spray the bug remover with a foam cannon? Do any of those bug removers make foam and can be applied via foam cannon?
But your ceramic coating worked perfectly and the Gtechnic really removed the bugs easily. Thanks for sharing this info. Will buy this bug remover.
As I said in the vjdeo, you can get the P&S Bug Off and dilute it 1:3 in a foaming pump sprayer and foam it on. Links in the video description.
I've been using degreaser to remove bugs for years, and it removes 99% without the need for touching. Just spray with pressure washer. Diluted Meguiars super degreaser has been my choice fo this. I bought the 3,79l container in 2012, and it has lasted until now summer 2024😀
12:48 About the water... Not sure if you've ever covered it, but most tap water has fluoride (hydrofluoric-acid), dissolved calcium, and chlorine in it. Although the concentrations are very low, fluoride is not something you wanna let sit on the paint too long. Undiluted forms of it are used to etch glass and I believe this is part of the reason water spots from tap water sometimes never to go away after washing.
I pretreat with 50% hydrogen peroxide and 50% water then spray on the foam. Your tip on not doing it in the sun is spot on
Thx Pan. Does the bug remover affect the ceramic coating at all?
No it doesn’t. If it did, I wouldn’t be using it on my own ceramic coated car. ;)
3D Bug remover has become a favorite of mine. Diluted 1:10 is still crazy strong.
I haven’t tested that yet but a few viewers have told me they love it too.
Tried 3D last Love Bug season when I couldn’t find Bug Off. It is really good stuff. Not sure which I'll buy when my gallon of 3D is gone.
Hey Pan! I've watched many of your video's the past few years and thus seen you brand logo many times now. I'm curious as to how you came across the idea for the design and perhaps the colour pallet? It sure does get the gears working trying to figure out the meaning of the cube!
It’s a box with a gandle in form of a P for my first name, Pan. The box symbolizes a way for my viewers to take all the information thet learn from my videos, put it in that box that they can bring along with them in their detailing journey. ;)
Around here Spray Nine seems to be to go to. Four litre jugs at Canadian Tire.
Thanks for another informative video. Always looking for a better way to remove bugs without scratching up the front end. Congratulations on a million subscribers🎉 Well done 👍. Would you consider reviewing the detail factory curve ball brush and screwball brush. Is the screwball brush safe to use on wheels? Seems like it may work as a good brush for putting on tire shine.
Thanks! I have used the curveball brush in a few videos. It works good with spray tire dressings but I prefer the Adam’s Hex Grip Tire Dressing Applicator personally.

@@PanTheOrganizer Yes I have the curve ball and use it to clean all my exterior piano black surfaces like the grill to include badges during a soap wash. I noticed you also use what looks like the Braun wheel woolie brush for your wheels. I think I will give that a try instead of the curveball. Thanks for all the tutorials, reviews, tips, and tricks!
I use hyperclean bug concentrate it's a polymer based bug remover. It works amazing
Thanks for sharing!
Nice video and learned something new. Would’ve liked to see maybe 1/2 the bumper untreated. Then we could see how much of a difference the chemical makes.
The chemical makes the removal easier. There's no comparison to make here. Much less scrubbing during the contact wash, since the chemical does the heavy lifting for you as you saw. Pretty obvious to see, especially if you try it.
What do you think of using a clay bar for the stubborn ones?
A clay bar is abrasive, and you wouldn't use that on a coated car as you'd damage the coating. And after using a traditional clay bar, that usually induces marring on the paint so you'd follow up with machine polishing. Counterproductive. Use chemicals instead. Less work, less effort, perfect results.
As long as you have paint protection, especially in the form of a ceramic spray or ceramic coating, removing bugs and bug guts is a breeze.
I really love the Bowdens Own Stuff, they have some tongue in check naming and call the bug spray bugger off. Only distributed in Australia, If they sent you some as I'd be very keen to know how it stacks up against some of the other brands.
Can we use Koch Chemie AF for maintenance washes as well? I feel like the Gentle Snow foam doesn't do much.
Yup. You could pre-wash with AF and then contact wash with Gsf.
Great video. But I have a question. Your focus seemed to be primarily on ceramic coated vehicles, with emphasis on protecting the coating. How do sealants and waxes fare against these bug removers? Thanks.
That’s more of a variable as regular waxes and sealants don’t have that strong chemical resistance like true ceramic coatings do. So if you see less water beading after you used the bug removers, and you had a wax of sealant, simply reapply a fresh layer.
Letttss Goooo . Yes 🙌 We here
Let's gooo!!
hey Pan , Awesome video , so out of Gyeon Bug and Grime or CarPro Bugout, which do you prefer?
Doesn’t matter they are fairly equal. Buy the less expensive one where you live.
Thanks Pan. Are these bug removers safe to use on PPF? Are alkaline shampoos safe on PPF? And how did you choose your CZcams name?
Not all bug removers nor alkaline shampoos are safe on PPF. Best to either ceramic coat the PPF, or use PPF-specific products.
We rented a bus-like RV and went out west...sooo many bugs. For fun we drew targets on inside windshield and each person had one..we kept score before we hit a gas station to clean. Even went thru a few locust plagues in New Mexico..scores were high on that part of the trip :) Since I started using ceramic coating bugs are way easier to remove.
For sure ceramic coatings are the best protection for making the car easier to wash. Welcome to my channel.
