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

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

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.
