Removing bugs from your car is very important, as the acid content of bug guts can affect the integrity of your paint and possibly etch through the finish if not removed properly.
In this video, I show you how to use Schaeffer’s CITROL, a biodegradable, heavy-duty, citrus-based degreaser that’s gentle on your car’s paint and safe to use on any exterior surface of your car. Citrol can help remove adhesives, asphalt, wax, grease, rubber marks, oil, scuff marks, tree sap, tar, and more! This is by far the best bug remover I've ever used!

Citrol is perfect for removing bugs guts because it’s a powerful cleaner but it has lots of lubrication so it won’t scratch your paint. Simply spray on the panel (never under direct sunlight!) and let it dwell for 30 seconds. Then, using a soft microfiber towel, gently rub the paint to remove the bugs and bug guts.
Once you’re done, simply rinse off with water and you can wash your car. I recommend adding a layer of wax or paint sealant at the end, to protect the paint and make bug removal easier in the future.

I bought this product a few days ago. Removed the dealership emblem glue with minimal effort. Great stuff. Very cool of you to give shout outs to other detailing channel. That says a lot about you. Following forever for sure. Thanks for all that you do. 👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words and feedback, I really appreciate it! If you subscribed to my channel, let me officially welcome you into the Pan TheOrganizer family!

How did you discover my channel?
Took the words out of my mouth
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you for this video! Subbed!
@@PanTheOrganizer is this also safe for headlights? Just earned a subscriber!
Dealership emblems really piss me off..... I'm going to spend $40,000 on a car just to drive around advertising your dealership..... No thanks
You needed to do it where the big bug splatters were, but I've watched several of your videos and you have been spot on, so thanks again.
Thanks Doug!
What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
Would love to see a video of your recommendations and method of fixing rock chips in paint. Thanks!
Dr colorchip
paint lol
Cirtol 266 us NOT safe for clear coat. However, you can use it on your car but you must use it properly to protect the clear coat. Don't spray it directly on the paint. Spray it on a wet towel, which dilutes it, then rub gently to remove bugs. Do a small area then wash with soap and rinse immediately. This is a very powerful product that can damage your car.
Bought this product awhile ago from your channel had no idea what to use it for. So glad I had it on hand! My husband came home with his car covered in bug guts!
I watched your video to see how to clean the bugs off my new car (Florida love bugs are no joke). It reminded me about a citrus cleaner I already had - Orange TKO concentrate. Wow! It was shocking. No scrubbing whatsoever. They just washed off. It’s organic and I’m sure it’s more economical. I’m so happy with this result. Thank you for the video.
Thanks Pan.
Love bug season in Orlando, FL USA.
I have to sign up for unlimited car washes just to keep up.
Ordered from Amazon today.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks James!
Cheers from Montreal, Canada!
I had same issue with tons of lovebugs and wanted to prevent them from getting baked on. Real simple. Got a can of Scubbin Bubbles, sprayed it on (dind let it dry, hosed then right off with barely any pressure) did the same with side mirrors, not a trace of bug guts or anything. I think all these bug &tar removers are just hype. I tried many of them and they are not that great. Just make sure you lay down some quality wax after you wash that way the bug acid wont penetrate that much and wash off ASAP.
But yeah, Scrubbin Bubbles works 100%, no pain damage and no waiting.
@@jensz9360 Ty for the suggestion. I commute 50 miles daily. So I will try your idea as well. Scrubbin Bubbles is a convenient purchase at the corner store. Cheaper too!
@@jamesd493 No problem, glad I could help. I used to get the expensive products as well, but when one day I ran out all I had was teh scrubbin bubbles. Amazing it worked and I use it on Porsche paint which is notorious for swirling and marring at the slightest thing. No paint fade,bugs just slide right off and I am talking about bugs so thick and heavy the bumper looks black and so does the side mirrors. I would rather spend the extra money on extreme high quality wax so the acid from the bugs cant do any damage and it buys you some time to spray it off. Try it once and I swear you will never buy "special magic overpriced crap" bug remover again. Coem back on here and let me know how it worked when you get a min.
@@jamesd493 Another benefit of using the SB is that if you spray it on the aluminum fins of radiator where sometimes bugs get so thick they can cause overheating they wash right off and leave radiator looking new without bending the fins like scrubbing would. So spray it into the opening in any grill you have on your car and hose it off.
Hey Pan you should do a follow up video on how to do aftercare on ceramic coated cars. Removing hard water spots, bugs, bird droppings and scuff marks
Pan has already done the aftercare for ceramic coating.
Martin Tokinaga he made a video showing maintenance wash but that's about it. It would be great if he makes a video showing what to do if someone scratches your ceramic coating, heavy bird droppings, scuffs when the grocery cart accidentally hits your car. Just real world scenarios
Sendrick Nahr I agree, wish he would at least mention if these products are safe to use on ceramic coatings. Ive been told to avoid waxes/polishes and acid base products but sometimes there's a product that doesn't state what it contains & wish he would address it
Great videos. And because of your videos I learned how to wash my car properly and started detailing my car. However, I got problems with hard water spots and bird droppings and hope that can show how to take care these mess. Many videos out there but really want to see how you do it. Thanks a ton. Keep up the good work!
If I remember correctly, he suggested a squeeze bottle of water and a little car shampoo and hit the bird droppings asap.
I have been using this product for years and on just about everything. Just recently purchased a dirty 2005 mini Cooper S,. I immediately went to the citrol for cleaning under the hood then started with strut towers.. unfortunately and immediately red paint was coming off of the car. Dave proceeded to just rub down the area with my fingers and as I did so it removed all of the paint on the strut towers. Rinsed off the areas as quickly as I could with no other harm done anywhere. This is the firstTime I have ever had a bad experience with this product, but I am pretty sure mini is to blame as there is obviously no clearcoat in the engine bay.?
I still strongly recommend this stuff it has saved me from many things including stains in the carpet inside the home, and various around the house cleaning tasks.
Another great video ! The "Super Clean" stuff Scott talks about is awesome too & inexpensive. You guys give so much info out its absolutely wonderful. Thanks for making so many people's life easier & more productive in our quest for clean cars. Best wishes Pan
+inxs13
Thanks for the positive feedback! Yes I use Super Clean too, named it my top degreaser in my awards ceremony!!
It's important for me to help my audience and show them the proper products and tools and tips and tricks to do a great job at home.
@@PanTheOrganizer So to be clear Pan, I can spray the super clean on the car to get it to loosen up the bugs and gut smears? I had a Tesla to detail today and the front and sides are SWAMPED with bug guts and iron fallout
Is it just me that’s pissed off because I just spent like 2 hours removing bugs and I saw how easily he removed his😂😂
Same bro, same
Literally just found this video after spending an hour and saying “there has to be a better way”
Thanks for that.
I used a citron based chain cleaner that I use on my bikes and that works well.
Thanks for watching Mark!
How did you discover my channel?
I couldn't agree more it's a great product! Been using it for years, however I did experience an issue while using citrol on bugs on the front of a customer truck. a small amount of the spray made its way on to the headlights witch were cheap ebay replacements Whitin seconds The citrol melted and discolored the plastic lenses it was a mess! Lol never been an issue on quality factory headlights. Just a heads up. Thaught I'd share my experience. 😁👍
Thanks for sharing Cody! How did you discover my channel?
I always aim to decrease wiping on the car be that during washing or big removal. I haven’t had issues by spraying Chemical Guys Bug and Tar Remover on the front bumper, allowing it to sit for a minute, and then pressure washing the front end. No wiping necessary.
Does it remove the clear splatter that's usually left after washes too?
Pan, also wanted to advise that NAPA carries the one gallon of Citol for under $50.00. Love that you have expanded on products as well as Scott from Dallas Paint and Correction.
+Albert Padron
Thanks Albert! Scott's a great guy too.
How did you discover my channel?
Thank you. It was a perfect coincidence, that when I queried about bug remover, your channel came up. But even better yet, is the car I want to remove the bugs from is a Mazda, in white, like you use for your example. Thank you. I just ordered it from Amazon.
Hi Pan! I dug deep to find this Citrol recommendation from you on removing bug guts, etc. With it being over 4 years old, do you still find that with new product introductions from various mfgr's that it is a reasonable solution for this application. If not, what do you find is today's current "go to" ? Question 2 is how does Citrol play with PPF ? PPF was not exactly new 4 yrs ago, but was starting to expand sales exponentially about then. Something we may need to consider in todays' current environment. I love your common product reviews as the items usually stand the test of time and are easy on the pocketbook. Thanks for all you do!!!
I mainly use this bug remover now: bit.ly/3NNhnRn
I see there are several different versions of CITROL which one does this video refer to?
What about removing bugs from the black plastics that are integrated in the front bumper and mirrors
Pan - works great buddy. Much appreciated and KEEPIN' IT CLEAN!
👍🏻
I tried a product GP-66. From QVC.
It’s also a degreaser works exactly
The same they wipe right off
Here in Illinois bugs are horrible at night. I want to be able to get home late and in the easiest manner remove the bugs. In a previous more recent video you recommended qtecnich bug remover. I saw in another person's video that I could use the qtecnich and just remove with a waterless wash. Is this true? When I get home at night I can't rinse off my car with water. So what should I use?
What you recommend if we have a Xpel clear bra? Thanks
It’s a D-Limonene based product which should make for an excellent solvent degreaser. WD-40 will work as well, but it’s not water soluble and in both cases, be sure to use plenty of soap to clean off any residual solvents.
Scott is an amazing detailer and youtuber great video though 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
+InVicTus-88 JM
Yup he's awesome!
Pan TheOrganizer 💪🏼✌🏼👍🏼

Hi Pan, Thank you again for another great product review.
Different situation: A car is clean and waxed. I drive and get a day's worth of bugs on the front of the car. What do I use as a simple "spray and wipe" to get those bugs off, lubricate the paint while I do that, and not remove any wax? Thanks. Rick
There are no miracles to bugs unfortunately other than using bug removers. But watch my updated tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/tXkPeR9lWrw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YSrjCbC-t1BsG13p
Mad props for crediting Scott at DPC for finding this product! Really shows your I integrity as a TH-camr. Great video!
wet your car, then use slightly damp dryer sheets and they come right off!
Awesome
but does it scratch the paint?
Thanks man💪🏾
The Dryer Sheets don't Scratch the Paint
@@luisponce1472 That is correct. Another option is to spray something like cooking oil (i.e. Pam) on the bumper and that will make it easier to also clean them off.
I've been using this product, down in Texas, for a while now. It's a must for driving during the spring. It's very easy to use.
Thanks for your feedback!
How did you discover my channel Anthony?
@@PanTheOrganizer fyi i just found you by googling “how to remove old bugs from car”
When rubbing the paint with the microfiber cloth, wouldn’t you want to rub in straight lines to make sure there are no scratches left behind? I’ve heard rubbing in straight lines instead of a circular rotation will prevent the paint from having swirl marks.
You're not really rubbing, you're barely skimming the surface... the product has lots of lubrication, so its of no real concern. Of course, you can always pre-wash the area using the safe wash method, then dry the panel, and then use Citrol if you want to make sure you don't leave microscratches...
I live in Ohio and tried to purchase from amazon; amazon says they cant ship this to me. Buying from Schaeffer wants you to buy a case. Do you know of another distributer? Is there another product to use that amazon will ship?
Same boat (in Maryland). Found it at www.jdindustrialsupply.com/schaeffer-citrol-citrus-cleaner.html but they want $14 for shipping.
Thanks for the tips. Most grills are made of unpainted black plastic. Is this safe to use on those surfaces?
Hey Pan, would you recommend this on PPF. Big splat is so hard to remove from protective film.
Hot water and vinegar works as well and is probably the most BIO safe and the cheapest with the best results.
Vinegar is very acidic. You're better off wetting the surface and spraying spray wax and wipe off.
Hey Pan have you ever tried using a fabric softener (dryer sheet) to remove bugs? Wet the sheet and wipe the bugs away. It works great! Please try this method and do a video.
I would never do that to automotive paintwork. Dryer sheets can be lightly abrasive which could lightly scratch or marr the paint, and contain chemicals that can affect the clear coat, or the protection on the paint.
I just keep finding these gem 💎 of videos you have on your channel! Great job 👏
Much appreciated!
I use LA's Totally Awesome Degreaser@$1.00 a bottle. The black container is already mixed, whereas the clearer bottle needs mixing. I spray on dry and use my pressure washer
Here in Indiana, we buy that at the Dollar General. Funny how the name is spot on. I use this stuff on almost everything. I even diluted it and used it to clean leather seats that were beyond nasty. Works like a charm, Totally Awesome! Lol
I still have not exhausted the different uses of LA’s Totally Awesome cleaner.
Every small town in Indiana has a Dollar General. They are replacing going to Walmart for everyday items.
Can even get Meguiar’s car products at DG now!
I've seen this product in Walmart USA but not here in Montreal. Thanks for the video as always very helpful
+Lincoln JCM
Thanks!
So far, detailing spray and a microfiber cloth works well for me.
And it doesn't remove your wax.
Hi Jeff, detailing spray as in?
So if I buy the gallon of this to save money..how should I dilute this to be the same in the can!!
Ammonia works great to remove bug guts,it doesn’t hurt the clear coat but it does remove wax and sealants. A I’m a refinish technician and we us a 50/50 mix of water and ammonia to remove bug guts on bumpers that we are painting. A mild form to remove bug guts that works great is ammonia base window cleaner. Just remember that you might have to wax or seal the panels that you use the window cleaner more often then the rest of the car.
Hi Pan, I'm looking for a bug remover that will not affect my jescar powerlock and collinite 845, is there such a product or will most bug remover sprays remove the sealant and wax. Thanks so much. Love your videos.
The majority of strong chemicals will start to break down regular sealants and waxes. Only ceramic coatings can resist those.
@@PanTheOrganizer I thought so, thank you very much.
Sold me on this product!!! Here in South Florida this time of year bugs are so bad
Thanks for watching!
What about ceramic coating? Will it remove it too?
I prefer to foam the car and rinse off with pressure washer, which will take care of most bugs by itself. Then use waterless wash or detail spray to remove remaining bugs, which really won't be much.
I think that is the safest way to do it to prevent scratching the clearcoat, and of course your wax, sealant, etc will remain
+PcarFan16
To each his own technique. Citrol is amazing at removing bugs. It's staying in my arsenal.
But your technique is a good one too. Just nice to have different alternatives.
I use a product called Bleche White. It’s supposed to be for tires but it melts bugs like no tomorrow.
I learned the trick from one of my Field Training Officers when I was a young State Trooper.
Is the Bleche White safe to use on auto body paint, and windshields that detect water droplets?
@@evilgenius8379 Definitely. I’ve used it on all my cars with no issues paint or other wise. Just let it sit for a couple of minutes and take the spray to it. I use it on my BMW M2 and my 2021 Subaru Outback that I have just owned for a week as of today. I spray my front bumper, windshield and side view mirrors. Just like any soap, rinse your car well and you will be fine.
I just did a 4,000 mile road trip. As you could imagine, I’ve got tons of bugs and other road elements on my vehicle. What would you recommend to do pre/post wash to ensure everything is removed?
I use Seafoam Bug Remover , spray on let dwell for a few minutes and power wash off .
Where can I purchase this ???
How would you remove etching from bird droppings?
Is Super Clean ok to use?.....seems ok and doesn't harm the paint
Will that damage my ceramic coating??
I used to work for a janitorial supply company as their repair tech. Often citrus based cleaners use the chemical D'limonen(spelling). This gives it the citrus scent. Unfortunately its fumes also destroy Neoprene. Door and window seals, and possibly engine seals. You might want to make sure it isn't in this Citrol.
Thanks for sharing. How did you discover my channel by the way Glen?

Citrol works great. And yes it takes wax and sealant off so you will need to redo the spots you used it on.
+Derek Munro
Yup!
Yes I have. Great stuff. Works good on tar as well.
Yeah on tar and glue residue as well.
Thanks Pan. I used another orange cleaner that I already had and it worked great!
Great to hear!
BEWARE!!!!! I have a Toyota Highlander, and the Citrol worked perfectly on the clear-coated front end, removing dried bugs and tar. BUT.............I had a small amount of overspray onto the matte black plastic trim. on the grill. The Citrol ate right through the black paint to the silver undercoat, so what I have is a smeared black-silver area on the trim. Terrible. What I suggest is that, when using the sprayer on the can, make certain you mask any black plastic or black-painted trim. Alternatively, instead of spraying the area on the car, spray onto the microfiber towel and then gently rub the area, taking care not to touch the matte-black trim.
Thanks. 2 Cans ordered. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Pan! Great video!
I have two questions:
1. Is this product effective for removing bird dropings as well?
2. Is it safe for using on a ceramic coated car, and if not what would you suggest?
I would avoid using this on coated cars. Just use bug removers on coated cars, like CarPro Bug-Out or Gtechniq W2 Bug Remover.
Yet another great video Pan! The product is not available in Germany it seems. Is there an ingredient that one should focus on so its included in the product?
Now I just need to find this in Canada... Not available on Amazon.ca
This stuff just looks like Goo Gone to me, which should also be safe on car paint and is composed of some sort of citrus oil.
Pan what's the easiest way to remove blood stains from white paint? I washed and scrubbed the heck out of spots with chenille microfiber mitt I thought it was wet leaves stains. After I dried car noticed bugs landing or sticking to paint while car parked in driveway all week. A few days went by car was stained even worst with blood looks like a cheetah. What's your recommendation for removal? Have to get car cover as well
I might have missed it. But from watching the video it appeared you did this before the wash..? Is that correct?
Correct. Some do it differently, but usually you would pre-treat the surface with the bug remover, let it dwell for the recommended time, then rinse with the pressure washer. That will have softened the bug guts and removed a good portion of them, to make the contact wash much easier.
You can see how I do that process as part of the overall car wash process in this video: th-cam.com/video/KEAfc_LUO4E/w-d-xo.html
What's your thought on pressure washing after application? Microfibre more safe to ensure no scratching?
I would snow foam, rinse, and then hand wash using traditional two bucket wash method.
See how I wash my own car in this video: th-cam.com/video/KEAfc_LUO4E/w-d-xo.html
I'm wondering why did you get those bugs? Bugs don't like metals or hard surfaces. They thrive on soft surfaces like cushions and carpets!
??? I hope you’re joking.
Perfect product! Works great! Thanks to both you and Scott!
+Michael Britton
Thanks!
How does this compare to Optimum Opti-Clean? Opti-Clean has gotten most stuff off for me, but not the spots or etching bug splatter leave behind. Wonder this will do the trick.
Hello Pan, is this still your go-to big tar remover? Noticed the video is 5 years old was wondering if you found something else.
Thanks in advance.
Citrol 266 is very powerful, so yes it's the most powerful tar remover, but keep in mind it will strip waxes and sealants, so you will have to reapply protection afterwards.
Another very strong tar remover made for the automotive world is this: bit.ly/3CA9mv7
Would you use this same method on a car that has a coat of wax or coating on it already?
What is a good method or technique combined with this product to get all the bug mass out of the grill, like in between all the cracks and crevices? I live in Alabama and bugs are horrible in the country down here.
Pan - good and all as products like these are, what’s your opinion on soaking a microfibre with water and letting it sit on the bugs? I used this method for years before bug removal products were a thing.
Hi, I was wondering does the Citrol 266 can cause any damage or removal of existing compounds and sealants that have already been applied of used to remove bugs and do you think it's a better product than P&S Bug Off?
This is a much older video. Citrol 266 is super powerful and yes could start breaking down waxes, sealants and even ceramic coatings.
Dedicated bug removers, like in my latest updated bug removal tutorial, are much safer. No problem on ceramic coatings, but bug removers can potentially weaken regular waxes, as waxes aren't super chemically resistant. If you see diminished water beading after using a bug remover, simply reapply a layer of wax.
Hello pan
Great video as always
Want to ask u please
I dont have tar/glue remover
Can i use auto finesse bag remover instead or bilt hamber surfec hd?
shouldnt you be rinsing the bumper off afterwards? I heard this stuff is not safe for clear coat over an extended period of time
+brandon b
Yes Brandon, I mentioned it in the video. You have to rinse off. If you follow the directions, no worries for clear coats.
He said you should go ahead and wash your car after the application
Hi Pan. Just a quick one for you.. what are your current favourite tar remover, iron fallout remover, polish and claybar/claymitt products at the moment?
Would you be able provide Amazon links to these products?
Love your content man!
Thanks!
Here are my favourite products: th-cam.com/video/8JSgJQYsNgE/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan
Pan, is this safe on PPF covered paint?
Just use some synthetic wax product regularly or apply ceramic coating on the front bumper, and you'll be able to wash or even just wipe off bug splatters easily, without actually damaging or degrading your paint
+Gábor Bérczi
Yes but not everyone does this so the purpose of the video was to show viewers how to do it properly without damaging the paint.
Hi Pan I’d like a video about getting rid of spiders from inside the car please
Is this safe on PPF?
Usually, wash my truck once a week. I drive highways every day and get lots of bugs. Should I wash more than just once a week?
That's up to you to decide. I wash my vehicle twice weekly. There are no limits to washing your car.
The best thing though is to have some sort of paint protection like a wax, sealant or ceramic coating. It makes cleaning the vehicle, and the bugs, MUCH easier.

Nobody at all asks whether it can possibly harm paint or clear coat? You say rub ever so gently. What happens if you get a little too aggressive. Thanks for sharing. Just want to be sure I don't destroy my paint job in the process.
As long as you thoroughly rinse after use there are no issues.
I not only do I have bugs splattered on my car, but it’s a Mazda, much like the one in the video. I’ll sub to that..
Heheh cool! Since you subbed, let me welcome you to the Pan TheOrganizer family!
I use a wet dryer sheet like bounce. Bugs come right off. Even the cheapest dryer sheets work, no need to spend a ton of money on expensive brands.
How does it work on the headlights? I live in Mississippi so I'm constantly cleaning my truck to get bugs off.
Rubbing alcohol for headlights as well
Would this be okay to use on glass? I usually go through area where theres lots of bugs and they just get caked everywhere so my bumper gets coated along with my windows and the rear of the mirrors
Pan. Do you have a video on PNS bug off?
Is it just me or does this guy sound like Dan Aykroyd 🤔 you sold me on the stuff I travel a lot and them bugs in Texas ain't playing
Citrol will also literally melt tar off your car. Spray it on and watch it literally run off. Amazing stuff and great for other detailing uses.
I agree Phenius!
This is awesome. Any new update videos on this? I see this video is 4 years old. Anything new out since then?
For raw cleaning power, no. But it can remove the protection underneath if you have a wax or sealant for example. For something effective but a bit more gentle on paint, you can use my favourite bug remover here: bit.ly/3yUSZJ4
Great video and product!! Looking forward to using it next spring when the bugs come back lol
+TwitchingwithRage
Thanks!!
Jax Wax Bug Zapper Commercial Quality Bug, Sap & Tar Remover works the first time. Not a lot of rubbing required. Costs a fraction of the price of Citrol
You mean this one? amzn.to/3kbLSSd
@@PanTheOrganizer Yes that's it. works well. try it you'll like it.
What are you using for bugs and such on the windows, windshield ! Thanks
Just a proper glass cleaning is enough, as in my tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/d9T5rW-UP2E/w-d-xo.html
What helps making cleaning easier on glass, especially the windshield, is to have a glass sealant. Watch my video here: th-cam.com/video/IEIlHZ2D4ig/w-d-xo.html
Super video on a problem that all of us hate. Summertime bugs! I will be getting some of this product. BTW, is this stuff similar to Goo Gone? That is also a citrus based product that has an oily feel to it.
Similar yes, although I haven’t tried Goo Gone personally.
Would Zep foaming degreaser work too?
This might be a dumb question but just got my truck ceramic-coated and normally bugs should come off pretty easily but was wondering if this is safe to use on a ceramic coating?
I would avoid using this on a ceramic coating. It's a very harsh chemical.
Would you recommend doing this before or after the car is washed? Since it removes wax, id obviously do that before waxing the car!
You would do this first, then wash the car. And yes reapply the wax at the end if you see water beading has diminished.
Pan, I have been using a product on my motorcycle for a few years now called BUG SLIDE... spray it on,, let it dwell for 30 seconds to a min then micro-fiber it off...
I never heard of it. Where did you buy it?
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan, I found it on a motorcycle channel that I follow on TH-cam. Purchasing it through his channel, there is a shipping charge. I purchase it through Amazon, as I do not have shipping fees. I originally bought the 16oz shop kit cleaner. So I have the original spray bottle and then I purchase the 64 oz refill bottle. I keep a small sprayer in my saddlebag and a microfiber towel so when I drive anywhere, like a motorcycle event, I can do a quick cleaning of my Harley. It's a really good quick detailing cleaner and bug remover which buffs to a good shine. Has a great smell also. It's not cheap, the 64oz refill bottle is $63.00 but it goes a long way. I hope this helps and maybe you can give it a try or a test. I'm always up for something that is better. Your detailing student Barry in the state of Missouri. lol.
Can you us it on the chrome or chrome plated trim too? How about wheels and glass?
