Yes, you read the title correctly. I applied PAM to the car to prevent love bug damage and, being that I was not the one driving the car, the PAM stayed on for several days and got "baked" on. Tried typical car shampoo/soap but no luck. Should I use a bug and tar remover or just bite the bullet and use my Griot's paint prep and do a detail finish job on the areas affected?


Thanks and a word to the wise out there - PAM works, but you got to remove it before it dries/bakes on....:eek::eek:
 
Would a soak with P21S Total Wash help ??? If not you might need to polish (abrade) the surface.

Never heard of using PAM before, I have heard on some using Wd-40 however.

I don't think I need to abrade - I can actually get it to come off with WD-40, just never very easily. Being that PAM is essentially corn oil, I was thinking that a tar remover might be what I need. Any product suggestions?
 
I would think a good paint cleaner like Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer or Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion would take that off.

Next time use a product made for bugs, like Diamondlite Crystal Gloss.
 
:laughing:



Sorry, I couldn't help it....
 
Next time use Bug Slide. It works great on paint but not sure how good it works on pans.

if you applied it why did you not just let whoever was driving know that it was not driveable yet? and plus with has many products out there that can be used to do the same job but safer why would you use something that was not meant to be used on car paint?
 
Anybody use the Griot's Bug prevention product? I haven't heard anything about it.
 
Dawn dishwashing detergent. If you're going to use a product designed for cooking, it makes sense to also use a product designed to clean up after cooking.

Plan on re-waxing after you're done with the clean up.
 
Yeah, but you'll only have to scrub half the car. They'll only stick to the left side.
 
Griot's Paint Prep is my new best friend. Absolutely effortless removal of the dried on PAM and road tar.

:dblthumb2:

Used PAM for many years on the front of semi-tractors for bugs and used dawn to remove with never any damage to painted surface.I figured if it was safe to consume internally then it shouldn't hurt the paint. Was also handy on rubber door seals in icy weather to prevent doors freezing shut. Pam was always easy to find and cheap long before all these other products came around.

eggs are safe to consume but will eat through paint
 
The few cars that I have seen egged seemed to be damaged by the impact of the shell resulting in the paint being deeply scratched or chipped. Don't remember seeing the yolk or egg white causing the damage. Only have seen a few to base my opinion on. Maybe other members can speak otherwise from previous experience . As far as Pam doing damage to painted surface , haven't seen any as of yet.
