Yesterday I washed my car (first time in 3 years !) and it's covered in squished bugs / tar spots. OK - I can buy proprietary products to remove them but what might I already have in the house / garage that will also do the job (to be honest I have problems leaving the borders of the house so can't face shopping - mental health issue) ? Don't really want to use turps/white sprirt, diesel or petrol before somebody suggests those  Cheers. Paul H |

I use turtle wax stuff from halfrauds it comes in a red bottle. Once you have all the bugs etc off give the paint a coat of wax and it will make it easier to get them off in the future

A basic home tar remover would be, hot water and washing up liquid, but it does include salt, so will promote rust, or possibly try some of the thousands of kitchen/bathroom cleaners, but all of these will need polishing afterwards.

Other options would be proprietary bug and tar removers from various online suppliers or maybe even Tesco click and collect,

Last night had to go out suddenly so on the way back stopped off at a wholesale warehouse and bought some Astonish tar and bug cleaner for 99p + vat per spray. Might be useless but for that price worth a try.
Update.
Gave the Astonish stuff a go. Removes bugs effortlessly. Tar need leaving on a little longer to soak in and then harder (than bugs) rubbing.
So overall happy with the cheap remover.
