Baby wipes (unused - ha) work well at cleaning bugs off, too!

I tried the dryer sheet trick, and it worked well. I removed the white film with the bottle of quick detailer. My concern though is that it seems to me it's only working because we're using water and what basicly amounts to a scouring pad. I wonder, is it scratching the paint on the fascia? Because of it's low location, it would be hard to determine if there are any swirls or scratches. As best as I can see, there are no marks, so....
Has anyone been doing this a while, and with no damage? |

Yeah, it amazed me too when I first read this thread awhile ago...forgot about it until this past weekend, when bugs galore were on front end, wet the dryer sheet (the key: WET the dryer sheet, and I use unscented, don't think that makes a difference though)...rubbed down the front end, then spritzed with detail spray--works immaculately--no scratches either, of course!! ~juli~

Tried this last night. Had thousands of bugs on the SRT 10 after a 250 mile drive back from nothern Michigan. Used a "bounce" dryer sheet. Wet the car first and the dryer sheet and just rubbed lightly. Came off very easy. No residue just washed normally after that. Looked great afterwards.

The secret is out! This works great. I recall finding this out a year or two ago from on here. Washing the car has never been the same!!

I use Waterless Wash with Caranuba . mist the front of your vehicle and wait 20-30 seconds and the bugs wipe right off with a microfiber .
