No worries.

I've got one of those cheap karcher snow foamy things (a tenner, I think?) so I just put 2 caps in, top it up with water and blast the car... 1 minute later, rinse off and wash as normal.

The crap it pulls off your paint is ace!!
Sideways yo!

Just got some AG stuff - do you squirt onto the front and then snow foam or do you wash and wipe off the AG then snowfoam?

I squirt it on, leave it for about 3-5 mins then give it a jet wash, then use the snow foam etc...

If I dont write on here for a few days you know I ended up in a ditch  :P

Think I will be a good boy and just have the pain of cleaning them off.

Anyone know on the back of a Megs Mitt if that bug remover can damage paint?  Been to scared to try

im always very careful when removing insects.

the best method is having a waxed surface so the bugs dont stick as much. thus meaning less effort/possible damage is needed to remove them

Dont have a wax on at the moment did take out the dealer protection (would not do again) dont think that does much to be honest.

hoping I can book the car in at the nice guys in autoperfection in the short-term just need to find an empty weekend to pop up their
