started to wash the millions of flies off the front of the vectra last night we collected on our trip to alton towers
Were a complete nightmare!
Does anyone know if GUNK engine de greasent has any effect or damage paint work 
and what is the best way to protect / make the front easy to clean as driving down to devon on saturday and cant be bothered spending hours scrapping flies off the front again

Defo wax it, so much easier to get them off in the future and also easier to clean and dry in general

All purpose cleaner or Poorboys Bug Squash to dissolve / remove them. Then yup several coats of wax and job's a good'un.

tar remover gets rid of them in a single wipe.
As said though a good coat of wax will make washing alot easier.
