Blimey - and I was pleased with myself for washing mine before it's trip up to Austins in the morning

Nothing wrong with a 20 quid full valet, can't be asked to do it myself

They should be easier to clean off than those damned Aussie locusts though - I can still smell them smoldering away in the radiator core!

I bet that was definatly one of those jobs you wished you had never started!

Colin - Autoglym bug and tar remover is the stuff! - Works wonders with a few hundred miles of Welsh/English countryside bug remains

Worst I had was when I hit a deer at 80 in my 190, lets just say I know what it's last meal was as I had to clean it out of what was left of the bumper/grill/rad

Unpleasant

thats what i use Stu.

Sometimes after that they still dont want to come off!

Clay baring or use AG tar remover, dab it on let it do its stuff and they should come off, most should come off using a pressure washer.

thanks Pete.

I wouldn't use a pressure washer on a car though personally.
