    How to get flys off the bonnet/front of car...

    ...any suggestions of how to do it without a "fly sponge" which scratches?

    Looking for the gentlist way to get rid of fly splats without damaging the paint?

    Cheers

    I've been using AutoGlym FastGlass and a paper towel so far.

    Here in DK we have a foam-spray called "Insect-Remover."
    I think it's from BASTA...but not sure. It works ok.
    If your local car detailer or store don't carry this, just try some gentle solvent or plain car shampoo. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes and soften the bugs before going over it again.
    You need something that dissolves biological waste.

    The same spray solvents that remove road tar make quick work of insect parts.
