Removal of insects

[BEERBOY123]

This weather it's a constant pain to keep wiping bugs/moths/flies off the front of my E30 after even a short run.

Any tips to get them off easily and stop them sticking next time?

Bain of my bloody life.

correctly place a very hungry spider or 2, on the front of your car ?

or buy autoglym insect remover

[Steve-E30]

Or a netted sponge about £3 on fleabay with hot soapy water .

In reference to your other thread since you don't like driving your e30, why not leave it on your drive and just appreciate its photogenic qualities? No splattered shite on your screen and less shite for you to chat about. Win win situation in my book

Take your missus Polo instead.

Or do the bugs sail straight over due to the aerodynamics of the wonderful turd?

hahaha Just dont take your mondeo or the paint will chip off at the sight of a nat

[Steve-E30]

Dont drive it if you have such a low opinion of your turd as in the other thread , Flys stick to sh1t

Carnauba wax - bugs come off easier if they're stuck to wax, not paint.

On a related note - how do I get rid of the pair of spiders that live in each of my wing-mirrors? Every morning I find fresh cobwebs on them, and it's not like they're interested in eating the pre-splatted bugs mentioned above..

Next time you are near an air line, give 'em a blast behind the mirror. Works wonders

Spray on some pre diluted shampoo solution from a garden sprayer, this should soften the baked on squished bugs, don't use one of those sponges as stated above, it will just inflict scratches in your paintwork, totally un neccesary. If they still won't shift, clay bar is the best bet. if the paint is polished and sealed/waxed bugs will come off easier in the future.

brilo pad & nitro mors should help

[325isporttech1]

[al-g]

baby wipes..... my van gets absolutly covered in them and these work a treat.

[325isporttech1]

Ive got plenty of oem spiders in mine they are impossible to get rid of, i also had a nice collection of dead wasps under my rear shelf!!

[nicey]

Microfibre cloth, wet with decent car shampoo (not one with traffic film remover(dulls laquer))

Wet area first, leave couple of minutes, gently wipe away with cloth. No scratches.

W5 bird poo remover from my local LIDL store. Large aerosol can for 69P.Spray on and it foams up like shaving foam.Rinse and wipe off with water .Works a treat.
