It can happen at any moment that you are driving; a flying insect suddenly decides that it wants to challenge your car in a head-to-head battle to see who will win in a face-off. Splat! Car: 1 Bug: 0. Your car windshield is proof that you have won.
When this happens it can be annoying and even dangerous if you don’t take care of removing the bug splatter from your car windshield. But the big question is: What is the best way to do this?
One way to do this is to make a paste out of baking soda by mixing a little water into a small amount of it. Cover the remains of the foolish bug with the paste and rub it away. Once the baking soda dries, wash it away with warm or hot water.
WD-40?WD-40 has been used for everything from enhancing fish bait by anglers to unfreezing rusted bolts. But some say that this stuff also works like a charm in melting bug junk away from your car windshield.
Spray a little WD-40 where the flattened critter left its mark; allow to solution to soak in for a few seconds, and wipe it away with a paper towel or rag. For really stubborn bugs you’ll have to apply more pressure.
Olive OilYour wife, husband, or significant other may look at you strangely as you take the olive oil out to your car to remove bugs from your car windshield but according to those who have tried this method, it really works.
Soak a paper towel or piece of cloth in some olive oil and rub the smashed bug, with a circular motion, to remove it. Once it is gone, don’t forget to remove the olive oil residue with some windshield cleaner.
Car Wash SolutionIf your car is looking pretty grimy already, and there are also bug stains on your car windshield, you can kill two bugs with one stone, so to speak, when you wash your car.
Take some concentrated car wash solution and apply this to the dried out bugs, and wash the rest of your car as you normally would. Once you get to the windshield, the bugs should have sufficiently softened and wash away easily.
Bug Remover SprayIf you really want to get fancy, you can always purchase a bottle of bug remover spray from your local auto supply store. It’s quick and easy and you don’t need water or much effort to get those bugs off. You can always keep a spray bottle of it in the trunk and use it when the need arises.
