- Hey, what's up you guys.
Welcome to another episode of Chemical Guys,
Detail Garage. Are bug guts ruining the look of your ride?
Well, stay tuned, I'm gonna show you guys how to remove them
quickly, and easily.
Alright, guys. So you just got back from a road trip,
or maybe you just had a bunch of bugs accumulated on your
front end. And never decided to clean them.
Well today,
I'm going to show you guys how to easily do that using our
Bug and Tar remover and just a few other products in the
mix. So right here, we have our Bug and Tar remover,
which is a dedicated cleaner for bugs on your vehicle.
So it's safe to use on paint, glass metal, Chrome.
So it's safe to use on virtually all of your exterior
surfaces. Along with it.
I have a secondary sprayer bottle,
which I am going to be diluting this cleaner into there.
So that's the great thing about it is they use as like a
shampoo and a bucket and just clean your front end,
and you can also have it in a spreadable solution to kind of
help saturate it,
break down those bugs and have an easier time cleaning.
And then I'm also going to have one of our wash mitts right
here. Now on this side, you'll see,
it's just one of our regular chenille microfiber wash mitts.
However, on the opposite side,
you have this cool strap right here,
along with this mesh material,
that's going to do an incredible job.
At removing these bugs without you having to do any kind of
heavy agitation.
So this is going to be one of the things that you're gonna
need as far as like removing these bugs,
because you want to have something that's going to help you
remove them,
but not something that's going to scratch the surface.
So the cool thing about this wash mint is that you can
actually flip this strap to the opposite side,
just like that,
and you can grab it and you can use either side.
So on this way,
you can go ahead and put the strap on this side and use the
mesh side,
or you can actually flip it around and just use it as a
traditional wash mit to wash your vehicle with
so enough with
the products that we're using, let's get into the cleaning.
So you guys will see on this front end,
this Honda just came back from a 700, 800 mile road trip.
As you guys can see,
there's a ton of little bugs on the front end,
and it's not that it looks ugly,
but there's also another reason why we're cleaning it today.
And that's for the reason of this is a brand new car bugs
have acids within their body. So if you let this sit,
it's going to stay in the front end of your vehicle or any
of the other areas that you have the bug guts on,
and it's going to be a permanent kind of damage.
So you definitely do not want that,
especially on a brand new car.
And that's why we're doing this process today.
Now, the first step that I'm going to start off with is by
rinsing this front end off,
just to make sure that we knock off as much of these bugs as
we can, before we get into the scrubbing.
Alright, so now that I gave it a light rinse,
you'll see that it looks much better. However,
they're still a little pieces of bugs still caught within
all these little intricate areas.
You have them pretty splattered on this little front kind of
grill area of the car.
I know you guys can't see because of the water is kind of
clouding it,
but if you guys see just a little close up view,
you'll still see that there's a ton of bugs left to clean
up.
All right, so the next thing that we're going to do
is set up our bug
and tar remover bottle.
So I'm going to grab my secondary dilution spray bottle,
take off the sprayer top,
and then I'm going to fill it up with product.
And the cool thing about this bottle is that it has your
labeled dilution ratios right here on the side.
So you know exactly how much to fill up. So right here,
I'm going to grab my Bug and Tare mover.
I'm going to open it up and make sure to tick off your seal
that way we can pour it out.
And then you're going to fill up this bottle up to the six
to one ratio, mark.
Alright, and just like that,
that's pretty much all you need.
So it's not a lot of product.
You dilute it more with water than the actual thing itself.
So you'll see that it's an extremely concentrated cleaner
and it works out incredible. And then right here,
I just have one of our bottles here just filled with some
water.
So what I'm going to do is just pour up the rest with water.
And if you have a funnel,
I would highly recommend using it just so that way you don't
pour it or spill it like I did right now,
but we are almost there and we're done. And just like that,
you have yourself a ready to use 16 ounce bottle of product
and just stir it up.
The next thing I'm going to do is actually pour some into a
bucket just for added lubrication.
So what I'm going to do here is get my Bug and Tare remover,
and I'm simply going to apply about an ounce of product
into this bucket of water here.
That's all you need,
put your cap back on and then you can actually activate the
suds as well with your garden hose nozzle.
So I'm just going to go ahead and do that real quick.
All right, guys.
So now that that's all set up,
we can grab our wash mint dunk it in there,
just kind of soak up some of that lubrication
and begin the process by spraying the entire front end and
the areas that have the bug guts. So right here,
I'm going to be mainly focusing on the grill,
the headlights, this lower vents,
and then we'll also get the mirrors as well because the
mirrors do have some bugs as well,
along with the windshield. However,
as far as the windshield, it doesn't look too bad on there.
So we're just going to finish off the rest of the car with
the traditional wash,
but just to kind of focus on the area that has the most
bugs, we're going to go to start off by spraying it down.
- Alright. So now that you're done spraying the front end,
you can go ahead and grab your wash mint. Now,
usually I like to give that about 30 seconds to kind of
dwell break down the bug guts.
And the cool thing about this product is that it's extremely
slick. So for that reason,
that's going to prevent you from installing scratches and
swirls while doing this process.
So I want to do is start off by simply scrubbing it down and
you'll see right away that it starts pulling
off the bug guts
and the mesh filter on this wash mitt
actually does kind of help it and trap it,
the wash mitt itself,
that way you're not dragging it along to the paint work.
And it does an incredible job at doing that.
And you'll see right here, if I pull it up closely.
You'll see that those bug guts to kind of fall within that
mesh material.
Now, once you do a certain section,
I would highly recommend that you come back to your bucket
and just kind of wringing it out.
And I also do have a dirt trap at the bottom of this bucket,
just to kind of filter into kind of those abrasive bug guts
that are on there.
You can pull it out, ring it out, inspect your wash mint,
and then continue with this process.
Alright, guys so now that we're done scrubbing it down,
I'm just going to go to rinse it off to water and we'll be
good to go.
Alright guys, and there, you guys have it.
We just finished up, we rinsed it off.
We use the Bug and Tar remover to do that deep clean
paired with that chenille microfiber wash Mitt
with the mesh side.
And as you guys can see, it looks incredible.
Did its job did an incredible job. Actually,
they are moving all these bug guts. And as you guys can see,
it looks nice and spiffy and all new. Again,
we did make a little bit of a splash while we were rinsing
up the friend. However,
that's completely fine because we're going to continue with
washing the rest of the car.
So if you guys want to see the final results,
make sure to stay tuned. If you guys enjoyed this video,
