Try using PB Bug Squash. Best product I have used.

Spray it on like a pre wash...allow it to dwell...gently rub and presto...bug free.

You can also put a dry one in your hat or on your collar to help keep live knats and skeeters away. Working at the docs, saw all the stevedors using them, finally asked why, they told me, was a non believer, tried it, became a believer. It works.

no problem, RR. I have killed several bugs this week and i am going to try seclineman's technique instead of spending $5 on whatever. I'll be back to this forum frequently to try and cut down hour+ whash time. I'll verify technique and report results.

im sure the spray works but with the dryer sheet there is no "dwell" time just wet and wipe!

I've been using the old dryer sheet for a couple of years with no side effects. The front of the truck looks great, no swirls or any marks from using the sheets over and over.

I've seen this mentioned many times to the point that I actually got a dryer sheet, and soaked it in my car wash bucket. It was still way too rough for me to ever scrub my truck with. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but for me there are far safer methods.

Here's how well PB's Bug Squash works. Before.



After

Here is an old trick that I've used for years and it costs nothing.
Take a wet towel and lay it on the bug soaked area.
Let it sit 15-30 minutes.
Remove the towel.
All the bugs come off with the towel.

Free is good!

PB Bug Squash is awesome, especially with a pinnacle safe scrub brick.

ill try the dryer sheets, though.

Hydrogen peroxide and a microfiber towel works great. I learned this on a motorcycle forum. My bike gets thrashed on some rides.
