(I dont know if this belongs in this section-- if not sorry!!)
I dont think that it is true that there is a "Miracle bug cleaner" to clean bugs splats off the front of a car, but does anyone have any good products they use? I've heard one person a while back say they have this spray stuff that takes them right out, but I forgot what it was called.

Its just a pain when Im washing it to scrub out, it takes me like 15 minutes or more to scrub them out with a sponge, any products that ease this would be great to know about.

i use 99% alcohol, like rubbing alcohol. works amazing! not the low % stuff, gotta find stuff that is higher than 70. Put some on a cloth, hold the cloth on the spot needed to be cleaned for like 10 secs, and light pressure rubbing will take it off. Turn cloth frequently and use clean cloths to take off excess. If you get a rainbow effect on your paint where you just did it, its because the alcohol dried onto the clearcoat,just use a clean cloth, put a little alcohol on it get it wet and rub it with a clean dry one and it will come out. works great on bugs, tree sap, tar, eveything

I always thought that alcohol would rub the paint out / damage the paint... Does it do any damage to the paint?

Meguiars has a good product for that: Gold Class™ Bug & Tar Remover

Kind of off subject, but I dont want to start a new thread;

If I take my car to one of those "Self-Wash" Car wash places (the ones with the pressure washers) will those pressure washers chip my paint at all??

nope it doesnt harm it at all. i would reccommend if you do like a whole bumper or soemthing, ou should clean it real well afterwards and then wax it.
