Chemical Guys CWS_104_16 - Bug & Tar Heavy Duty Car Wash Shampoo (16 oz)

Decent product

This product is good but you need to know how to use this product I thought I was going to get better results then what I did o will continue to use this product till it runs out but I don’t think I shall be ordering again

Good job there’s photos on here, the sicker on the back of the one I received says it’s wax and tells you how to apply wax to your car 😑

Good on bugs, not so good on tar. I used Gtechniq Tar and it worked after seconds.

Unusual for me to buy an item with good reviews that turned out to be poor on purchase.With a better than directed mix, it just didn’t soften up the fresh tar on my car. After four separate applications I gave up and used WD40, which worked a treat. Bugs maybe, tar definitely not.

I dilute this into a trigger bottle. A couple of caps into a 500ml trigger bottle then filled with water is usually enough. I spray the effected areas then go back over them with a wash mitt and suitable shampoo.

My poor car has been rode hard and put up wet. It sits for weeks at a time and rarely gets washed. This black stuff wouldn’t come off in automated car washes and I figured it was there permanently. Used this bug and tar remover and it immediately wiped off with very little effort. It feels like a brand new car now.

I ride a GS off-road. Returning from a north of Superior right day ride that consisted of bog crossings, hydro cuts, miles of old logging roads and gravel cuts and rail trails. There is a strange salt and oil like crud that is used to control dust. It’s very caustic and is almost sticky and after hours in the rain on one stretch of gravel logging road the bike was coated in this crap. Did normal soap and power wash and it didn’t touch it. Bought this product for first time, really just looking for anything that would cut thru this film. Mixed it about 8:1 water to fluid and used hot water. I sprayed the bike liberally and let it soak while I filled a bucket with hot water, maybe a third of the bottles contents and some dish soap. Took a soft chemical guys wheel brush and started to gently ‘scrub’ body panels. Gentle swipes of the wheel brush were enough to entirely remove everything. The film, the thousands of dead bugs, all wiped away. No films left at all. I highly recommend this product. It works very well. I should have taken before and after a. PS I normally simply foam bomb and spray wash my bike. So under the recent trip was a solid two years of non wiped everything. Bike looks new. Till tomorrow anyway.

Not as expected at all

After a long drive, especially at night, the morning after I break out the spray bottle mixture and along with a little 'elbow grease' ... all the bug mess just melted away! This solution is awesome!

My white car was covered in tree sap. I had tried many products, but stayed away from those I suspected to be abrasive (Vim, etc). Although it sometimes required some elbow grease, the stains went away. It took about an hour to do the whole car including rinsing with water as I was going along.
