Those must have been the notorious Florida "LOVE BUGS" that come a couple time a year. Fortunately for me I don't live in Florida!

Bug Squash is some awesome stuff. I bought some last Black Friday on a deal and it's one of my new favorite products. I spray the stuff on and let it dwell 3-5 minutes and then pressure wash (only 1900 psi too) and rarely will any bugs be left.

This stuff just works!

I guess I'm missing something. I tried bug squash and found it no more effective than a standard APC.

Yeah, and imagine 500, 600, or more on you're car, as he'll tell you that's an early season smattering. The the 90+ degree sun bakes them onto your paint and they dry like epoxy resin. They'll be thick from now until early June.

IMHO - something not right. Has worked great for years for me. Can not live without it.

Uhhhhhhhh.

One of those things we have to live with living in paradise. Really bad between Sarasota and Tampa.

Love the stuff. Between Bug Squash and the DP Bug sponge I think I can wipe out just about any bug related mess.

It's great during the winter too for removing salt grime. Spray, dwell, power wash followed by rinseless.

Agreed :xyxthumbs:

Forgot about that. Yep works great for that, and also wet/dry leaf marks too. :dblthumb2:

We get BIG BUGS here in Maine so I ordered a 5 gal pail last fall from Steve. This is one product that works great and with love bugs, and our bugs you need to keep on hand.

I have used the stuff at least 6-7 years and will not buy any other, it's just that good.:dblthumb2:

I have tried this 1:3, Carpro straight up, Adam's Rinseless 1:6, and CG Bug shampoo 1:3, and CG blows all of the others away. Adams was 2nd followed by Carpro, and then bug squash.

It obviously works with one one of the bug sponges, but I am always uneasy about them.

Bug Squash diluted 3:1 is LSP safe which is why I prefer it. Others very well may work better but I'd rather not have to reapply sealant afterward.

That is a fair point. Is the bug sponge LSP safe?

Also to anyone that may know. I have a Karcher 2000 PSI 1.4 GPM pressure washer. It came with a nozzle that spins the water extremely fast to make a cone shape. I spray on the bug spray, let it dwell then blow the bugs off with this as it is much stronger than the normal adjustable nozzle I use on everything else. Sometimes I get as close as 3-4 inches away from the paint. Is this bad, how bad is this, and what is detrimental about this to either the paint, or even LSP if it is at all?

Adam's waterless wash is more effective on bugs then their rinseless diluted. At least that is my finding.

Your using a Karcher dirt blaster nozzle, with a 2000 psi pressure washer, on a painted PLASTIC bumper @ like 3" away???

That's probably pretty risky. The risk is your going to blow the paint off an edge - especially on painted plastic. That nozzle is quite potent, you really can't even stick your hand 3" away from it if you value your skin.

Fair enough, thats why I asked. I normally use it at least a 1'-1.5' away. The only spots I get that close are the really stuck on ones in the middle of the bumper. I always avoid the edges, and and flimsy parts.
