Of course, I used the washer fluid and wipers, but it didn't affect it. After returning home, I went through the car wash. It didn't help. My local car wash changed companies and added a promotion where you could get unlimited car washes for one month for just $1 (after one month the price would increase to $20.) I jumped at the chance. Surely, repeated high pressure car washes would remove that filth from my pretty car. I even pointed it out to the gentleman with the big brush of prewash fluid, and he suggested I make a few trips through the wash right then. He was sure it would come off. It didn't.
I tried different products. If Coca Cola can remove rust from car batteries, that should do it, right? Wrong.
I tried Dawn blue dish washing detergent, Krud Cutter, Lysol, Fantastic, WD40, Goo Gone and Goof Off . The Goof Off made it a little lighter with a lot of scrubbing, but as many spots as there were, I didn't have that much elbow grease in me.
I "Googled" how to get bug guts off car. I'm glad I did. A YouTube video demonstrated this product. They warned that this product is not cheap, but that it is very effective. They were right. I excitedly bought a can. I hesitated momentarily at the price, but I figured it was worth it if it removed those neon green spots.
The day I got the can in the mail, I ran outside with it and some paper towels. My spouse probably thinks I'm insane because I really do get crazy over some strange things, but I sprayed this stuff on the spots, waited a few minutes, wiped with paper towels, and the spots disappeared! I couldn't believe it. I tried so many things! This even smells good! I like citrus smells, and this has a strong one. I spent a long time spraying and wiping because I had hundreds of spots, but it did the job.
No evidence afterwards that I had used anything on the car. No discoloration, or texture change to the painted metal or fiberglass. I waited a while to review this product just to be sure that I wouldn't notice a difference where I had used it after a while. This was even used on the windshield. No harm to the glass either.
I highly recommend this product. Yes, it's pricey, but if you have tried other things, and are struggling to remove something adhered, give this a try. Hide it so that everyone in your house doesn't grab it as the first thing to try, but keep it on hand. :) I know I will buy this product again. Stop scrubbing and swearing, and buy Citrol.
After that wipe down with a clean microfiber cloth and then follow behind with a good glass cleaner, most will do, but I personally prefer sprayway window cleaner follow behind that with a microfiber glass towel to remove any lint and Job Done! If water spots still remain a stronger method would be needed such as a stronger acid-based spot remover and if that doesn't work they are so etched in the glass it will have to be polished.
Works great for other things in auto detailing as well, such as tar removal, paint transfer and more. For any of this application if applying to your paint clear-coat I highly recommend gently wiping away the oily residue with a soft microfiber cloth and immediately follow up with a soapy car wash and then a total rinse, Drying and reapply your most popular sealant or wax in that area.
5 Star Product for Auto Detailing. Just make sure to wash and rinse if applying citrol to the clear coat.
Great Product!!
Indeed, comments by multiple users indicate the “pleasant citrus smell”; yet the back of the can explicitly states “Do not breathe vapor…” even though the front of the can states “SMELLS LIKE ORANGES, CLEANS LIKE CRAZY!”
Numerous other warnings are listed on the back label (SEE PHOTO) including but not limited to: skin, eyes, the environment, etc. Furthermore, the statement, “Non-returnable due to hazmat safety reasons” is presented in the smallest text on the product listing and therefore INADEQUATE. Taken as a whole, product information is MISLEADING!
