removing bug guts??

[Randy]

Hey guys, i bought my car used and apparently the original owner didn't care too much about keeping bug guts off the paint so what can i do now that it seems the guts have worked their way into my car's paint?? Can it be salvaged or do i just need to get my car repainted??

Bug guts are like acid. If they stay on the car too long they will begin to eat the clear and basically stain the paint. Buffing may make them a little better but it will never fully remove it. Same with bird droppings.

The bugs get use to the chemicas we use to kill them and it basically makes their blood like acid. Thats why bird droppings are so bad. They eat the bugs.

you can try clay bar after a good wash and hope it makes it look better.
