Bugs on grill of truck
Posted on 9/13/24 at 7:17 am

My daily route causes me to hit thousands of mosquitos and other bugs which get stuck to my grill. I know this can do damage to the paint and I try to clean it once a week. Hand scrubbing these suckers off is a pain in my arse and I was wondering if there is a better way to do this? Not even the pressure washer gets them all the way off and the car wash comes nowhere close.
Baws that drive through the swamps. How do you handle this?

Dawn dish soap. Wet the surface, then soak with dawn and warm or hot water.... use a wet microfiber towel to wipe it off. Some folks swear by using dryer sheets but I rather the thickness of the microfiber in my hands.

Wet dryer sheet. Comes off with a little elbow grease but its easy. Make sure you rinse the area off with water after as it can cause damage itselt. Scrub a little area, wash off with water, repeat.

Gasoline/kerosene should work too as well as the previous suggestions.
So far, use whichever you already have handy.

Once you get it cleaned, consider some ceramic spray. I'd assume that it'll make the next round easier. Something like this

Spray it down with some SC1 when it’s clean. They’ll hose off

Lots of good responses to get them off
.
After you get it cleaned up, put on a good coat of wax
Then, before you head out, a light coating of Pam makes the next cleanup very easy.

NASCAR teams use Pam to keep rubber from sticking to and blocking grill openings

Did not know that- I forget where I first heard it.

The Mr Clean eraser sponges are amazing at cleaning

A good graphene wax baw, keeps most of it from sticking to chrome and clear coat.

Adam’s bug remover works really well to soften them up.

The thing with chemicals or hard mechanical scrubbing is it removes wax or sealant. So the bugs stick harder the next time. Leave that white on unprotected chrome and clear coat and it doesn’t take long to start eating

$1.00 brown plastic bottle of hydrogen peroxide from Walmart.
Fill spray bottle with 50% HO and 50% water.
Spray and watch the bugs turn white and start foaming
Wipe off with water soaked rag and rinse with hose
