Tarminator. Clearly the winner in the tar category. Bug are easy, road tar is not. It excels in both.
 
how's einszett Anti-Insekt Pre-Cleaner? Claims it won't remove wax.



I guess I should have asked before I ordered it....
 
Other- I usually use Sonus green clay so I don't have to re-LSP.



IF it's so bad that I have to re-LSP anyhow, I usually just use some solvent like CleanSolve/3M Adhesive Remover/New Car Prep, but that hardly ever happens.

heh heh, I bought some too, but I never got around to trying it out and now that it's Autumn I don't have any bug problems :nixweiss
 
The 1Z Einszett Anti-Insekt Pre-Cleaner works great for removing Bugs. I get alot of Bugs on the front of my truck and the Anti-Insekt is great to use because it will not remove the wax on the paint. I barely ever get any Tar on my truck but when I do The Stoner Tarminator works great for removing the Tar.
 
Great thread. I've always been up in the air about using one of these because I thought they were to strong chemically.



BTW, anybody tried OPT's glass towel to remove bugs - they say it will work to do that on their website?
 
My vote goes to Tarminator .... it's widely available, cost effective, and works well on both bugs and tar.



PB's Bug Squash is OK for bugs, but not as good as Tarminator for tar or other grime.
 
I'm always :eek: that so many people use a solvent to remove tar...after everthing I go through to get my LSPs just right I sure don't want to have to redo them unless it's absolutely necessary. Redoing six/more layers of a sealant would mean pulling the vehicle off the road for roughly a week, can't see doing that over some tar :nixweiss

Heh heh, that's why I bought mine. Hope it does work out that way :nervous:

That sounds like "scrubbing" the paint with a no/low nap material, I'd worry about it grinding the bug guts into the paint and causing marring.

In my case and I suspect many others, the context is usually as part of a complete client detail These vehicles typically need to be de"grunged", polished, and then have LSP applied.



I agree...for my personal vehicle that wasn't going through a complete detail I would probably take a different approach.
 
I just picked up a bottle of PB's Bug Squash to try as an alternative to Tarminator. Tarminator is hands down the best product I've used, but I use so much of it that it gets a little expensive.
 
Sonus green clay for me, too, unless I know I'm going to redo the LSP, then I will break the Tarminator out.



Hmmm, gotta try the 1Z stuff.....
