Glad you are joking... you wouldnt believe the number of people using brillo pads, paper towels, toothbrushes and heaven knows what else to get bugs off.

Paper towels are OK as long as you have a little soap to lube it.

I use an old microfiber towel - actualy I just drape several wet ones across the front of the car, wait about 10 minutes, and everything comes right off (except the paint.)

"I tried to get bugs off with brillo pad, do you think wax will take these marks out?"

MF is so cheap now for packs of 1 million that I don't even bother with paper towels. Turtle wax bug remover when I run into a flock of knats since I'm lazy and they're performing sacrificial rituals.

It doesn't surprise me. People can't even use a turn signal and you expect them to know how to clean a car?

Just put a lighter under the gas tank and I'm sure you can smoke crack off the hood.

For stubborn tar spots that need to be softened up a bit I will use a cheapy MF towel taped into place to keep it moist while the chems do their thing. As long as I am not wiping the paint with them.
I am really anal about what touches my paint lol. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
