    I use this Bug and Tar remover a lot

    I drive quite a bit for my company & use my personal truck. I drove from California to and through Oregon and Washington. I knew that I was going to be killing a lot of bugs along the way. Here is before and after shots of my truck using the B&T remover

    Works great!

    I spray a little on the bug spots before washing. It breaks them right up.

    Bug be gone!

    I used to work at a car rental place and had all the things I needed to keep my car fresh and clean. Fast forward a year and thing have changed a bit. So I went into the local detail garage to find some big remover and sprayer. The big and tar remover plus the pump sprayer is like a match made in heaven. A couple cap fulls and a full bottle I was able to soak my entire car down. Hit it with some high pressure soap and a rinse. Bugs be gone! I did have to go back and use the nifty little bug glove thing to get the smaller bits. But man this stuff works great! 10/10 would recommend.

    A staple in our business....

    I put this in a spray bottle and diluted it on a vehicle that was covered in fresh oil. I spayed it on, let it sit for a bit and it melted it away like butter. This will now be a staple in our business.
