Readily available APC?

[Quik89si]

I'm looking for an easy-to-find (Target, Wal-Mart, Costco, Pep Boys, etc) APC that I can use to loosen bugs on my bumper - I would like to avoid having to get all of them in my wash mitt if possible. Any suggestions? Also, should I cut the solution with water?



Thanks!

Simple Green?

I was thinking SG but I've heard that it isn't very gentle or nice to paint unless it's cut way down.



What about Meg's Gold Class Bug and Tar remover? Anyone know if this is a product that is normally found in stores, and have any experience with it?

I also see that Vroom (Target detailing line) makes an APC...maybe this would serve the purpose?

Meg's should have a good APC, maybe in a purple bottle. I've also seen at WalMart something called Orange ? that might be a good choice.

I ended up getting some Gunk-brand "Bug and Tar Remover" in an aerosol can. Hopefully it works and doesn't strip the paint off of my bumper ( - it does say..."clear coat safe"...)

I found this on Meg's website but didn't have any luck finding it in any stores...

Kafko Oil Eater @ Costco--just dilute it down 1:10 or so and you should be fine.



KIT Fast Start, available at ACE hardware, is also a very interesting product and doesn't seem to be that detrimental to wax.

My Walmart carries the Greased Lightning Orange Blast Auto Degreaser in the car care aisle and it's pretty inexpensive. It is an orange oil/d-limonene degreaser. I would cut it 1:4 or 1:10 with water.
