How-To Remove Dried Bugs, Bug Guts, and Droppings [VIDEO]

[Markus Kleis]

I posted this in another thread for a specific question, but here is a quick video that gives another option for safely removing dried bugs with a method I refer to as re-hydration.

Enjoy!

Great idea. That's how I remove oil stains from concrete using newspaper. But never thought about using this method on paint. I wonder if this works with tree sap...

Good job Mark. Do you have any before clips or pictures of the hood?

Thanks. I just checked- not of the hood, but if you look at the video it shows the bumper and mirror and that is how the hood looked. The after shows all the sections that are cleaned.

Andrew, I can only wish. I barely make enough money to pay my bills - which don't include car, Jeep, or boat payments

All I own in my 2006 Focus - and I drive the 2011 Ford Fiesta until the end of April.

I think we should start a petition with Ford to have you keep the Fiesta.

I'll second that motion.

Hah, thanks!

I wish! They already told me they would if they could, but sadly, the car doesn't mean U.S. federal standards since it was built in Europe.

I do get $3,000 grand off of any new Ford product + whatever deal I can negotiate, or X-plan. But since I just bought a house, I might not be able to make use of it. I might pass it to my father so he can get himself a nice new F-150.

Ah, nice, thanks! I didn't see that one before.
