I just came across this and found it worked way too well to keep it to myself, so here goes!

Living in Fl. we have a tropical abundance of insects that just "love" (pardon the pun, Floridians, you know what I mean!) to imbed themselves all over the front of our cars /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif , especially at night. Lots of elbow grease and tar-and-bug remover and one can usually get most of them, right /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif ?

How about doing it with a little gentle wipe and then a gentle sponging to just wash them right off /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thankyousign.gif ? It is nothing short of incredible!!!! All you need to do is put a little Bounce into the job!...Literally!!!... Bounce (or I would imagine any other brand) Fabric Softener sheets, those ones you drop into the drier to keep the clothes soft, used as wet wipes on the bugs just get the job done!! Try it next time you are really getting bugged and it will bring a smile to your face!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif


Just realized I shoulda posted this in the "car care" forum /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif will copy and paste there too! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif
