Bug and Tar removal
 
I have a Sapphire Silver Blue crossfire. What do you guys do to remove bugs and tar and tree sap? Any favorite products or techniques?

I use some (brand name escapes me) bug & tar wipes that came in a dispenser jar. Pop up one at a time, get them a bit damp, wipe on, let sit a few minutes, then soap and water and most come right off.

1 - Quick Detailer and a teflon sponge gets the bugs off for me.
2 - Don't park under trees (very bad for paint).

Good luck

Would bug and tar removal products affect the Zaino on my Xfire?

Use Stoners (I think is is sap and tar removal, but it takes bugs off the front also). You can get it at Pep Boys. I bought a can there when I got my Stoners glass cleaner. Good stuff.

i have had great success using clay bar products for tar and sap.

My grandfather used kerosene. I've been doing likewise for 35 years. You do have to rewax areas you clean. It is fast and easy.
