I've seen this stuff advertised, but haven't known anyone who has used it. It's gettin' to be that time of year here in Nor-Cal.(No,Our car isn't primered, not that there's anything wrong with that!)
Pro's, con's?

Well, I may be a bit biased, but I can say that all of us at SRS have been using Bug Melt for several years (long before SRS was even around). It is a local product and we liked it so much that we decided to sell it here.

It works very well, I have to say. I usually apply the Bug Melt as a first step when washing our cars - spray the paint (or primer :) down with water, spray it on, and let it soak for a couple of minutes. After that, you can simply wipe the bugs off with without having to scrub.

We've sold several bottles, so hopefully someone else can chime in here.

RP, sounds like my 1998 Dodge Quad Cab!!! I remember a time last year when it rained so hard the truck almost shined again! In years past, I was known to don a raincoat and a bottle of spray soap and a long handled brush but i finally gave up when I realized just what I was doing! I was saved somehow by an unknown entity and to this day, just use a Cal. duster! Now the roadster is a bit different.
Since it's painted black suede, it gets Windex and it works great for removing dirt,bugs, fingerprints et al..See ya'll

Hey, Jason!

Can this stuff be used satisfactorily, without adverse effects, without washing the car? As in RP's case,I go the Cal Carduster route,etc..
