Bug Guts, do they come off, and how?

Well, believe it or not, but they actually make this product called *gasp* Bug and Tar Remover. And yes, it works. Sometimes you might have to actually put some elbow grease into it, but it WILL work. If you have bugs that exploded on your windshield, use a razor blade, and wet it down with water or glass cleaner, then use the blade and with UP-strokes, get it off. If you use down-strokes too, the guts will fall into the wiper blades, and smear (again) on your windshield as soon as you turn them on.

For the bugs that are on the front of your car, if the Bug and Tar Remover is not working well, you can also whip out your handy clay bar. I prefer to use the Clay Magic clay bar system which you can buy at just about any auto parts store. The main pile of guts are going to be on the front of your car, mirrors, and wind shield naturally. What the clay bar does is gentlys lifts out any contaminants that actually got stuck in the clear coat of your car before they had a chance to scratch anything. To use this, get out your clay, and spray the included "lube" onto the affected body panel, then with a little bit of force, rub in back and forth motions, and then switch directions to insure all the contaminants are out of the paint, then repeat and be amazed.
