i need to get one of those. I just washed and waxed my baby yesterday and 25 minutes later i got on the highway and it's like i fell under machine gun fire from all the bugs that hit. No less than 30 loud smacking sounds and it was covered in greenish/gray matter.

Wet the surface with cool water, apply a fabric softener sheet. Wait about a minute and simply wipe the mess away. Try it - it works!

I don't care what you think of my car, I like it just fine.

Fresh bugs come off pretty easy when the car is waxed-up. If the bugs have had some time to dry up, I wet the car down then use a 4-finger microfiber mesh mitten from Griot's Garage with a small amount car wash applied (full strength). After the bug mess is cleaned off, I wash the car as usual.
I cannot say enough about Griot's Garage products. I have been very pleased with everything I have ordered from them. Some of their stuff is a little pricey, but I have never been disappointed.
