Cleaning bugs from the plastic grille

[Ghoste]

Is there an easy way?  (and easy is relative here because my current method takes forever)

What works for me is windex multi surface cleaner.  Let it set for a while to let the dry bugs turn back into liquid bugs then rinse with a low pressure-- pressure washer.
I've used a piece of cardboard behind the grill to help direct the rinse down and out.

That's an option I hadn't thought of but then I don't usually direct a lot of water at the car either.  I've been using Windex and a soft brush.

I know how you feel about directing water at the car. It can get into those places we can't see and pool till it dries.  It's the side rear windows and back glass that I avoid drowning.
I usually follow rinsing with compressed air to help with the drying on my front end cause it can't be wiped where needed.

Not to mention water spotting on the black from those random drops.

I would wash it with rain X car wash and then bugs would come off much easier next time.

I see room for a practical solution to water spotting. It's what is left over from evaporation. It's the stuff in the water that is not water.

Wear them with pride! Dead bugs are a great way to measure your place on the Smiles Per Gallon meter used to rate your road trip.

I don't have a dry solution, but I've always used 409. It's not so harsh that is harms the finish, yet aggressive enough to soften the bug guts.

I've never done this,and it's not dry,but what about a household steam cleaner. These mess would at least be localized.

Dampen a bounce sheet, then wipe.

Was going to say this also.   I was shocked, but works well!  On all paint and plastic.

Yes...this is what I do.  Lots of air, followed by hand drying.   And I only wash the front 2 feet of the car, and the back 1 foot.

I use a detailing brush combined with some detail spray.

Foam paint brushes dipped in cleaner also work well.

Or course, if the front of your car looks like that Challenger Alaskan_TA posted well then there's no choice but to break out the wash & hose!
