    Removing splattered insects

    Any tips for removing splattered insects from the front of a white car ?
    Don't want to use T-Cut as its only a few months old.

    Cheers

    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Spray with WD 40 leave to soften then wipe off.

    Superb Scouse . Didn't even think of that.
    I was about to buy some tar and glue remover.
    I have some WD in the shed.

    Well I left the WD 40 on for a half hour and it doesn't seem to be working very well.
    Think I'll need to try the tar and glue remover or an abrasive polish.

    Right , the wife suggested I try her Flash magic eraser.
    I was sceptical but it works a treat.

    Outstanding product.

    Tar remover works.
    Or try claying the car after a full wash.

    I generally use a sacrificial beach towel, soaked in luke warm soapy water then drape over the front end of the car, leave for a while then use a paint safe sponge (decent car shops will sell a sponge with a slightly coarser side that removes detritus but not the paint) to scrub clean.

    Ah well at least it stopped them squeaking.

    You don't want wd40 unless you have lots of polish/wax on your car... If you don't you need a good tfr .. Spray it ten mins before you wash your car
