Bug Stains

Last year I bought a Grand Prix with low miles and good shape. I cleaned it up real good, but the front plastic front is covered with bug stains. It looks like there baked it to the clearcoat is there any way to remove them.

No what would be my best bet to use. I'll try getting some pictures but my camera isn't the best.

Re: Bug Stains

Some examples of a chemical cleaner polish would be something like Poorboy's Pro Polish, Klasse AIO (which leaves a little protection), Meg's ColorX (which leaves a little protection as well). Any of those should help you out.

Re: Bug Stains

Chemical cleaners you can pick-up at the local Autozone are Meguiars deep crystal step 1 or Mother pre-wax cleaner step 1. You could also, try Meguiars Scratch X or Color X, which autozone should stock.
