Dryer sheets.....Just trust me!!!

A friend told me I could use dryer sheets to get all the bugs off of my car while im washing it. Needless to say I told them they are a tard.....so the next time I washed my car I tried this........I have to say there is no cleaning agent in the WORLD that works like this for the price!!!!! I looks like your car has never been driven. Bugs,Tar I dont car what it is, these will take it off! Im sure some of you already knew of this trick, but for those of you who dont please try this!

I give you my word as a human it will not scratch it as long as both are wet, I used it on the paint, wheels and even the plastic. makes it all look new, I even talked my dad into trying it on his 11' F-150 and he is the most **** person in the world about his paint. He is also now a firm believer and weekly user of this.

I personally wash then rinse then use the sheet then wash that area again. I'm sure if you rub hard enough it will scratch it. You honestly dont need to use much pressure, I was also nervous at first so I tried it on a spot you wouldn't normally notice. When that turned out great I now use it on the entire front end of my cars.

Best thing to remove bugs is Murphy Oil Soap (yes the stuff your mom used to clean the wood floors) with warm water and a rag. I've had love bugs caked so thick you could hardly tell what color the car was, and it takes them right off. You will need to put some wax back on after using it.

I use Hydrogen Peroxide. Mix 50/50 with water and spray it on and the bugs wipe right off. It will not hurt the paint. WE have a lot of bugs down here.

Interesting.

I've been using this because it takes the bugs off easily (after sitting a bit) with only a light wipe of the microfiber (I use an older one set aside strictly for bug duty). Because I'm afraid to scrub.
