Bug removal can be quite the daunting task, especially if they have been on the surface of the vehicle for a long period of time. It is important to remove these as soon as possible, as this can cause damage to vehicles finish by etching into the paint. DI’s new Bug Sponge has made this task a lot easier to complete. Previously I had been using the Tuf Shine Scrub-All No Scratch Sponge, which works good for removal of fresh bugs. Upon first inspection of the new bug sponge, you will notice that it seems very stiff and coarse, however once it is in your wash bucket the sponge becomes surprisingly soft. Due to the coarse weave of the sponge, it makes removal of surface debris very simple. Unlike other sponges where you need to scrub these areas to thoroughly remove dried debris from the surface, this sponge can literally remove them in one or two passes. On tougher spots you may still need to use a product such as an all purpose cleaner (APC) or a dedicated bug spray such as Chemical Guys Bug and Tar Wash. If you’re looking for something that is tough on removing debris yet gentle enough to not cause any damage to finish on your vehicle, this the sponge for you.
As with all of my reviews, here is the description for the DI Bug Sponge as provided on their site.
