Bug/P21S total auto wash question

I have a '92 passat with no grill and about 1/5 of the header panel is laden in bugs, some of which are really on there hard. On the really hard ones I was going to use P21S total auto wash and I understand that this stuff is not gentle on the paint if dried. I don't want to have to rinse my car every couple of minutes for each bug so would it be alright to just wipe down the header panel with a wet towel to get all the excess total auto wash off? If I need to I'll just take a hose to it every time I have to.



thanks,

B3Golde - Yeah, the wet towel bit would work. The TAW isn't SO paint-unfriendly that you really have to worry about it. Just rinse it well when you're done, before redoing whatever you have/had on the paint.



I like TAW, but I question whether it's the right thing for your bug problem. Unless you have a LOT of sealant on the car, the TAW is gonna remove your protection at LEAST as well as it removes the bugs, maybe better. TAW works better on oily/greasy problems than it does on bugs. It'll probably work OK, but I'd take them off with clay, myself. Or you might want to try the CMA bug sponge (see the other "bug" thread here at the U).
