Best Bug & Tar Remover: Reviewed and Ranked

Bug and tar removers dissolve the protein splatter on your front bumper and the road-tar specks on your rockers — stuff that's bonded to the clear coat and won't come off with shampoo, no matter how hard you scrub. Reach for one after a highway trip in summer, before a clay step on any car that hasn't been decontaminated in a while, or any time bug guts have been baking on the paint for more than a day. Spray, let dwell, agitate with a soft bug sponge, then rinse — don't let it dry on hot paint. Pair with a clay bar and iron remover for full chemical decon.
