The Best Product I've Found To Remove Love Bugs From Cars Will Only Cost You $7

Okay, before you even ask the question, let me answer it for you.  No, this is not some type of commercial.  I'm not being paid to let you in on this secret. This is something I've tried myself and it works like a charm.

It's Turtle Wax Power Foam Bug and Tar Remover.  You can find it in a number of places and prices vary somewhat, but at turtlewax.com, you'll find the 16 oz. bottle for just $7.00.

This stuff works miracles for bug removal.  Now, the product also comes in a spray, but don't get that one.  You want to make sure you stick with the foam version, so that it will stick to those bugs and loosen them after a few minutes.

Just take a look at this video and see for yourself.  Might want to grab a few cans now since it looks like the next few weeks are going to be ugly for the grill of your car.
