What makes Bug & Tar Remover awesome
Removes Sticky, Stubborn Residue
Bug guts and sticky tar are some of the worst things for automotive paint. Flying insects contain corrosive chemicals that permanently damage paint if left unchecked. This versatile formula breaks down grease, tar, dried bugs, road film, and asphalt to prevent permanent damage.
