- E350 CDi AMG Night Premium Plus (Sept 2015) with GAD Tuning re-map. Definitely not double badged.
Just a quickie... I do a lot of motorway miles so my car gets covered with a lot of insect brains / guts.
They don't seem to come off with a snow-foam wash so I'd have to scrub at them with a cloth. Not good. I needed to find a better 'solution', so to speak.
I found a strong mix of APC as a pre wash does the trick. I use Meguiars at 4:1 as my strong mix (upholstery gets 10:1) but I'm sure other APCs would work.
I use a generic spray bottle I got from Amazon to mix it and spray the bug splats while I'm doing the wheels. By the time I snow foam the car even the 'Starship Troopers' sized bugs have become smears of bug-custard down my bonnet and grille.
No scrubbing needed. Thought I'd share as you've probably already got the necessary products but didn't realise APC was this useful!
Happy detailing.
