    Water + Pollen + Rain + Sun

    Since November or December my car has been banished to the driveway. My wifes car and the garage queen get the garage.

    This year has been very bad pollen wise. So between the pollen, rain sun cycles etc, my car has been looking like crap. Even though the car is washed at least once if not twice a week.

    No matter what I did short of clay and scratch & swirl then seal etc., nothing has worked. I`ve stripped glazed sealed waxed etc. Still looked like garbage. Especially the hood. I had water/pollen spots all over the hood. Nothing got em out. AIO, vinegar, nuttin. I even had a leaf impression on it AAAAAHh. As well as a Stalk mark (for lack of better noun.

    For the last few weeks I have been going between Hartford and Rochester NY, so I had bug central on the car.

    A week ago I used a mix of 25/75 bug squash and water and it didn`t get all of the bugs off. More depressed.

    Today I mixed it 75/25 and used a bug micro towel (silver) even on the hood cuz it had bugs too.

    IT GOT OUT NOT ONLY THE BUGS BUT THE WATER/POLLEN MARKS!!!!

    The leaf mark is gone too and the stalk mark.

    Thanks PB Bug Squash

    I don`t feel so bad.

    I don`t get many bugs on my cars but did one last week that had months of bugs splattered to the front on a white car...I went 100% on the BS after letting it set for a minute...I used a harder yellow foamy thing that I got for removing bugs and it took them off straight away...BS rocks which reminds me I need to get some on order!

    Just got back from Canada (650 miles each way) and took a bottle of BS premixed to clean off the windows of mine and my buddies car. People thought I was crazy when I broke out the BS and Mega Plush towels to clean the windshields at the gas stations. Worked great though. Never leave home without.

    Hey, I`m jazzed. No bugs, no water spots, no leaf marks.
    Now if it would just get rid of the micro-marring.
