Removing Bugs

Waxed my black 2005 yesterday. It looks like new, thanks to finally removing last summer's bugs from the nose. I'd tried everything I could think of to get that bug debris off without success. Dealer recommended the "Gunk" brand of tar and bug remover. It comes in a spray can and sticks to the surface sufficiently to let it set for a few minutes before wiping off. I used it one the headlamps too, with no noticeable chemical attack on either the plastic or the paint. After setting on the bug debris for a minute or two, it just wiped off.

Thanks for the clue. My baby needs a bath, and this may come in handy.

Did I tell you about the spiffy trash can I made out of a Wesson Oil jug? Fits under the dash in front of the console and locks in place by opening the front cup holder. Put a roll of gallon-sized liners in your console (favorite color/scent) and you're good to go.. Only downside is that it sits in front of the hidden console drawer... you know, Jean, the one where you keep your stash.

...or would if I had one. Sniff. What size jug was that? Maybe I have something similar....

Aren't we happy to have our Priuses (Prii) now? I'm actually gonna sell my Passat. (I don't want to know how many 1000s of $ I have lost by just keeping it.)

Oh yes, that reminds me. I want to write to Toyota and ask them to PLEASE put a sunroof on the Prius, so one can vent some of that hot air while parked!!!! Maybe for that 2008 model...

It was fairly large one that came filled with canola oil. About a gallon I suppose. Marked it with a pencil, cut the top off at an angle with the high side away from the console. cut a dip into the low side so the cup holder unfolds into the dip holding it in place.
