How to use Meguiar’s Heavy Duty Bug & Tar Remover

  • For best results, make sure the paint on your car is cool to the touch and you are working in the shade.
  • Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and avoid breading vapors, mist or spray.
  • Apply a thick, even coating of foam on the surface to be cleaned. Use overlapping passes to ensure complete coverage.
  • Allow car bug cleaner to dwell approximately 5 minutes for the foam to activate, penetrate, and dissolve surface contaminants. Do not allow the bug cleaner to dry. If product does dry, simply reapply to the affected area.

  • After 5 minutes, or once the foam begins to dissipate/break, either:

o Wash the affected area using an automobile shampoo like Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner.

o Wipe off the treated area with a clean, damp microfiber towel like Meguiar’s Supreme Shine Microfiber Towels. o Remove the residue with a strong stream of water

  • Dry the affected area to prevent water spotting.

Didn't work for tar spots

Didn't work for tar spots
this spray foam did nothing to help. It foamed, but after a minute would slide down. This was working in a cool garage. Instructions state to leave it for 5 minutes, so I reapplied for that duration. When it came time to wipe off the product... there was no change to the tar spots!
