Been using the Bug Erase Wipes for a couple of years, and got to say they are great! Would not have known about them but for Owen Lucas who did this well-documented review. THANK YOU!
Great videos. I've watched this and the bug/tar removal video. Thank you for doing the research for us. It helps so much. In particular I really appreciate you being matter of fact and to the point. No fluff - just facts. Thank You !!
Great comparison test. Because of your test results I bought the Bug Eraser pads at Lowes and they work better than anything I've ever tried. Thank you so much for making this video!
Love the test. Comprehensive, balanced and consistent testing between products. Quick - no padding. So helpful. Great to see the before and after together. Very Impressive. Being lazy, I want one product for Tar and Bugs. I watched your comparison of Tar removers as well and settled on the Turtle Wax product to do both jobs well.
I have had similar experiences with the products tested. I've found the Stoner's wipes to be effective , but there are alternatives that work very well and are more efficient, and as a detailer efficiency is key. Two products that I've found that perform well are Superior products, and Mckee's 37. They typically remove bug deposits on first application after dwell time when used with a bug scrub sponge. Thanks for the video!
I've used the other basic bug & tar removers to get the bugs off my car. I ordered the 3M Bug Remover, and that's all I will use anymore. I've had the most luck with it with the least amount of work. It was a nasty summer of bugs by me, and this made short work of them, even after they baked on in the hot sun for a few days or weeks.
Been using Lifter 1 bug and tar remover. I’ve gotten great results and it never messed with my paint. But I have since switched to Chem Guy bug and tar remover. Works well and gentler on the finish.
With that many bug you should buy a big screen guard I put window screen mesh on all intake inlets at leat do that. Also be sure to check air filter and clean condenser and radiation fins forward and back more often
Stoner bug eraser works fantastic! Got it at Lowe's,on sale even! It's slippery and hard to keep hold of but if you get past that it's the best by far! Great review, saves me time,money and effort. Thank you.
As many have already said, thank you for doing this. Im literally trying to figure out which one to buy when i walk in the kragen orielleys in 5 minutes
I have used Seafoam Bug Remover , it came out a few years ago ? Though after spraying and letting it dwell for a few minutes , I use a pressure washer at the self serve car wash . I think you might be scratching the paint , etc by wiping it away .
Bugs stuck on front of 2019 camry se for a week. Rinsed off front section and windshield of car, washed with Dawn detergent and microfiber chenille mitt and it took bugs off with a little soft fingernail scrub here and there. No need for all these chemicals unless you have road tar to deal with.
great video ! I would like to mention that Seafoam Bugs - B - Gone is another really good product for removing bugs .... i would like to try the 3M product here as well as a few others ..... great job you did here 👍
I use Labocosmetica Primus 1:30 , works amazing for bugs :) The real problem is that UVs from the Sun catalizes the bugs liquids and eats away a microscopic part of the paint .
I’ll have to look up that product, thank you for the recommendation. Interesting how bugs and the sun ruin the paint, even more important to remove them quickly!
@@OwenLucas 1:30 is the dilution . Primus is very effective on bugs , I bought it cause I got a free diluted sample to try back when it was a new product.
Pearl thank you for doing this review because I’ve been wondering which product actually does the best job! Driving between northern Illinois and northern Tennessee is really a problem with these bugs caked on!
If you presoak your vehicle with water in the area bug guts are you can get a wet bounce dryer sheet and wipe it over the areas but guts are you can remove the bug guts pretty effortlessly
This looks like an expensive experiment / Great video . We need something that will resist bugs from sticking . Use a dryer sheet instead of a micro fibre cloth . ( I use to help formulate car wash products in Ontario Canada . )
I like the way you did this, but as someone else commented, will you do another that’s nose fair and thorough? It needs to be more consistent, especially given that you ranked the foaming mothers cleaner at the top, but let’s be real… you used it on the corner of the bumper and that section hardly had any bugs to start out with.
Thank you for sharing this. I fear our bug problem of love bug stains is worse than other bugs. Three days ago we hit a patch of love bugs and when we washed our white hood this morning, the bugs came off, but left a red circular stain. We tried vinegar, Goo gone, and bought Turtle Wax bug and tar remover and it didn’t touch the stain after leaving it on for several minutes, several times. The red dots look terrible and we are thinking we might have to try detailing clay.
I feel like if you would’ve pre washed the bumper with just water. Most of the bugs would’ve come off and would’ve had better results with all products that’s where alot of people go wrong. Find a product you like soak the bumper get a bug sponge saturated with your product and while the bumper is wet, your product should foam up regardless removing all bugs.
I agree, that’s the best way to remove bugs with a thorough prep and wash. In this video I wanted to test the power of the products on fresh baked on bugs without any other intervention.
But that defeats the exact purpose of this test!! When comparing things why would you want to give them an advantage and thus removing the chance to see what the true potential is of each thing your comparing. If you want to find the best in a big comparison you'd want to put every one up against tough challenges. Then you can really see which ones actually get the job done and which ones can't handle it. What you are suggesting is not at all how you should do it and completely bass ackwards of how to conduct a large comparison
@@OwenLucas Thanks. I've been using it (5:1 ratio) without apparent issues, but maybe I've been lucky. I'll put a dedicated remover on the shopping list.
First apply the bug remover and wait for 10 minutes or something and after alittle hot water pressure wash with soap option or only hot water pressure washer. But do not wipe !
Way too many. I picked up all of the bugs driving through a wooded area for 4 hours at night. The next day I saw the front of the CRV and said, "this would make a great bug remover video". 🤣
I drove through a forest 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening on a trip. The windshield was much worse! No amount of bug wash can clean off a windshield full of bugs smashing every minute lol.
