Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover is a handy spray for lifting bugs, tar, and tree sap from car paint. It is praised for working quickly and feeling gentle on paint, and it has been kept around as a go to garage staple. The main cautions are to wipe it off by hand instead of letting it dry, since it can leave an oily film or residue. It may also be rough on certain plastics and is not ideal for paint prep.
Drivers cleaning fresh tar and bug splatter, because it removes both well and is surprisingly gentle on paint.
Yes. It is used to remove bugs, tar, and tree sap, and it can be especially effective on bug splatter and tar buildup. Several comments also describe it as gentle enough for regular car paint use.
Yes. It does not simply rinse away and should be wiped off by hand, ideally with a wet pass followed by a dry pass. Leaving it on can leave an oily film or residue on the paint.
It is described as gentle on paint when used correctly, but it should not be left to dry on the surface. The formula is citric-acid based and can potentially corrode clear coat if it dries on the paint.
Yes, it can be problematic around certain plastics. Use caution near plastic trim or other plastic parts, since that is where issues have been reported.
Might anyone who bought the earlier Frontpage deal want to provide a review?
It's pretty good I've been using it for years to remove tar, tree sap and bugs. I always keep an extra bottle in the garage. This is regular price tho. I used to get it at $5 a bottle, $14 is laughable
Check out Ollies (or whatever discount chain you have near you) they great some great car detailing buyouts like Meguiars, Chemical Bros, Turtle Wax and a bunch more. The prices can be ridiculously low.
Also the staff at mine seem to not pay attention when throwing product labels on the boxes, ill search a shelf of the same item for $5 and see a few labels showing $2 or $3 or something.

How is it for bee poop? That's my current detailing enemy
From experience, it works really well, but it doesn't just rinse off. Definitely needs wiped off by hand, probably 2 passes, a wet and then a dry one, to get rid of all of it. I use it sometimes as part of a full hand wash, so it gets Rinse -> Wet wipe down -> dry wipe down, and it sometimes still leaves a film or something, because you can tell where it was sprayed based off of the water running down the car irregularly in those spots.
