Got Dried bug guts on your vehicle? Most of us look forward to the warm dog days of summer, but one of the downfalls of the summer heat is the scorching sun’s ability to “bake” bug guts onto the front of our vehicles.

You may have just washed it yesterday, but today, it’s plastered again, and getting them off can take lots of elbow grease. Until now! Here’s a simple tip using an item you’d likely throw away…

Removing Dried Bug Guts

You’ll Need:

a small dish of clean water
5 minutes of your time

Soak the used dryer sheet in the bowl of water for a moment or two and then “wash” the front of your vehicle to remove the bug guts.

This entire process takes about 5 minutes of your time, depending on how “baked” on the bugs are.

Rinse with a hose to remove any remaining residue and wipe down with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.

If you have some bugs that are really splattered on there good, soak the used dryer sheet for a moment, then lay it over the dried bug splatter for about 2 minutes to let it soften while you work on a different area.
