Description

Bug & Tar Remover is a heavy-duty cleaner that safely washes bugs and tar from any vehicle. Bug guts are some of the worst things for automotive paint. Flying insects contain corrosive chemicals that permanently damage paint if left unchecked. The concentrated Bug & Tar formula breaks down the most stubborn dried bugs and tar residue to save the surface from permanent damage. The special formula is safe on bumpers, windshields, headlights, plastics, chrome, grilles, painted surfaces, and more. Simply add 1 - 3 oz. Of Bug & Tar Remover to the normal soap in the car wash bucket to remove dried bugs and grime. For spot treatment, dilute Bug & Tar Remover 6: 1 in a spray bottle, spray on the surface, then gently wipe away nasty bugs with a premium microfiber towel. Bug & Tar Remover is safe for Clear coat and single stage paint finishes, and removes heavy bugs without damaging paintwork. The versatile formula breaks down grease, tar, dried bugs, road Film, insects, and asphalt. The last thing you want to do is use a rough brush or mitts to remove them as this only induces more damage. Bug & Tar Heavy Duty Car Wash Shampoo will remove these bugs with ease along with other fluids, oil and tar spots. Bug & Tar Remover reduces the amount of scrubbing needed to remove bugs and grime, which further reduces the chances of installing swirl marks and scratches while washing. Wash away bugs, tar and grime with Chemical Guys bug & tar Remover. This product can also be diluted to a lesser amount and sprayed directly onto specific areas such as the bonnet, lower half of the car and wheels, left for about 30 seconds then hosed down, making the whole wash process much easier.

  • It removed all the pine sap!
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
So we hve pines around our house and all the sap falls all over and over the car. My husband powered washed our car windshield and the sap did not move a bit. So he tried again with this detergent and the pine sap came out like nothing. It is very efficient and we are very happy with this product. I totally recommend it. ... show more

  • Works well on bugs, tar removal requires more product
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this bug and tar remover on my Crosstrek. Front bumper and lower door panels had bugs and some tiny tar pimples. I have a bug an d tar sponge. The bugs come off great, and my spray bottle dilution as recommended 6:1. Tar did not budge after 3-5 min presoak. I added more product to my spray bottle and it helped, but I still had to fingernail the stretched tar on my paint and rub way harder that likely will scratch my paint. SO I used a fresh microfiber rag with undiluted product. This seemed to work better. So this product is not well suited for tar. A great bumper and panel presoak, it works, but tar is heavier as it dries hardened. So prefer to have a petro-based paint safe product for tar that does not damage clear coating. I suggest "Klean Strip interior Odorless Mineral Spirits" for more effective against tar and wash panel thereafter then apply protection again. ... show more

  • Great product!
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After a long drive, especially at night, the morning after I break out the spray bottle mixture and along with a little 'elbow grease' ... all the bug mess just melted away! This solution is awesome!

  • Great Remover!
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have tried many bug and tar removers and this BY FAR is the easiest and best!!! I diluted it in a spay bottle, since it is a concentrate, and just sprayed it on and wiped it off and the bug guts came off with it! I also use their wax and with both of them, cleaning and waxing my truck is so easy. Very pleased with the product and will definitely buy it again, when I run out!! ... show more

Bought this because my wife parked under a tree that sapped all over our car. Used this soap and the sap came off easliy.

  • Meh...
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I tried Chemical Guys CWS_104 to remove tree sap and pitch from my white car. It was largely ineffective (used full strength) and not much better than dish soap and water. The CWS-104 worked better on fresh spots and did a good job on minor cleanup. I also used my long time bug & tar remover from Turtle Wax; It was faster in dissolving the hardened pitch. The Chemical Guys product wasn't awful but it wasn't the miracle product I was hoping for. ... show more
