Bug & Tar remover.

Just clean the shit off when you get done (and read the can to make sure it doesn't damage paint before you use it. I'm something around 70% sure it doesn't damage paint).

i've used bug & tar remover.

put it on, leave for ~ 1 minute, wipe it off. doesn't hurt the paint. just make sure you read the label of whatever you buy.

Most of that shit doesnt work. Might as well get some goo gone or just use a little gasoline, just make sure to wash it off the paint afterwards.

bug & tar remover works real good with some elbow grease thrown into it

8/2/2006 1:00:52 PM

8/2/2006 1:08:22 PM
