Works great…
This stuff works great just don’t use it on windshields. I figured a bug smear was a bug smear and while it does remove the bug it also applies a nice film. It’s not hard to remove it’s just not like a window cleaner which speaking of IMO Sprayway glass cleaner in a spray can works great on bugs anywhere. Does it take wax off? I don’t know. Does this product remove wax with the bugs? I also don’t know.I’m sticking with my glass cleaner or even just good automotive soap and some elbow grease. I haven’t found a bug remover yet that truly impresses me. They all cost too much and don’t work like you’d expected.

Love it
Works so much better than the turtle stuff that I was shocked.

Not an agressive cleaner
Helps remove bugs off your front bumper in the summer, but it's not a miracle worker. You should get the bulk off with your soap wash and then come back with this. You have to let it dwell on the surface for heavier duty cleaning, but it still takes some effort to remove bugs. It works really well on lighter scuffs from road use that your initial wash leaves behind.

This stuff is magic!
Bought this for the first time to use on a 2 week long road trip to help keep my car clean and wow! This stuff is like magic for bug splatters!Note that it doesn't come off completely clean but really should be used as a pre-treatment for a wash. Since I was on the road I used this first then followed it up with some Chemical Guys waterless carwash spray and I was good to go.Once I made it home I used it prior to a full wash and it made the process of getting the car clean easier and faster.One last note, my care is fully covered in paint protection film (PPF) and it didn't hurt the PPF in any way whatsoever!

Great for cleaning off stubborn gunk from painted surfaces.
Works quickly to remove bird poop and algae from one of our cars. It's also great for cleaning all kinds of stuff around the home too, I used it to clean the mold and mildew stains off our AC condenser unit after I cleaned it and the paint looked brand new afterwards.

It works.
It worked safely removing an unrecognized, very sticky substance from a new car. applied liberally and used soft strokes about 3 times in a row.

It does the job
It does not remove all the debris but did the job mostly.

Indistinguishable from magic
A friend with lots of field expertise recommended this bug cleaner to me. I just used it to remove the accumulation from a recent road trip, and it's nearly magic. Following directions I sprayed it on a cool, dry car (in my garage) and used a sort of wooly mitten I had around. It took pretty much zero elbow grease to just wipe the bugs off. Really great stuff.For those who don't know: Leaving bugs on your car can permanently damage the finish. There are acids in their juices that can attack the paint. This is particularly true if you have a car, such as a Tesla, that was painted in California. Those paint jobs are a little delicate because of environmental regulations. (It's not the fault of the car manufacturer.) So I will be keeping a bottle of this on hand in the garage from now on.
