Rain-X Bug & Tar Pre-Wash Gel: STAY AWAY!!!
So after traveling 1000 miles south from Massachusetts to Georgia, and then driving to and from work everyday at 80 miles and hour, I had some serious bug splatters. So I go to Autozone, check out their selection, which was weak at best, and picked Rain-X Bug & Tar Pre-Wash Gel. Looked easy enough; rinse car first, spray on, let sit for 3-5 mins, rinse off and wash car. I'm pretty good at following directions, so I rinse the car, spray it on, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Formed a film, which I thought would help peel it peel the bugs off..... Yeah not so much. When it came time to wash the car, something in the Rain-X killed the sudsing action, of both the Meguiar's car wash that I used initially, and the Mr Clean Auto Dry cash wash. Totally killed it, it was like washing the car with soap scented water. And it did a crappy job of getting the bugs off. Needless to say, I won't be using it anytime soon. Just thought I'd share that with everyone. And if you do know a great product for bug removal, feel free to let me know!
