So I'm having a real issue removing bugs from my grille and bumper. It's a 2016 with the painted bumper (white). I've tried washing and using a micro fiber towel/ hand pad. I tried the meguiar quick detail with no luck. What's a safe and effective way to remove them from a painted bumper?

Peroxide in a spray bottle!

First thing not in your favor is that white bumper. Break-out the elbow grease and some old school paste wax. Lay it in on thick, bugs won't stick (as much). Layers of wax is the best defense against bugs, in most cases bugs just wipe off my truck.

Adam's Waterless Wash works well and maybe a clay bar if necessary. Some people soak with All Purpose Cleaner, Simple Green, etc.....

Straight peroxide. Works great and is cheap!

Well, the peroxide worked great. $1.34 for peroxide in a spray bottle and $1.47 for the bug scrubber. Completely removed all bugs. I also applied some meguiar paste wax afterward and hope it helps contain some of the bugs in the future.

Do not spend money on anything at all accept

 

A spray called " Awesome " you can buy this at any dollar store for 1$ or a bigger container for 3$ spray on and scrub bugs with microfiber towel and it'll take the bugs off no question. Won't harm paint. Detailers use this stuff and also if your tires look dirty and won clean up spray this stuff on them and whipe it off... Brand new tire without fire shine. Trust me.

I never thought of that! Wife just informed me we have a big jug of this stuff! Do you spray on and wipe off the tires and grill or do you need to rinse it after you wipe it off?

I use simple green or WD40 as pre treatment before wash and aferwards for any left overs. Works like a charm.

After you spray on the tires you can just spray off but on the grill and all use the microfiber towel and it'll take them off then wash the truck after

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
