Best method or cleaner on cleaning bugs off of 69 grille?

[moparmark]

                     Hey Guys,


                     I was wondering what the best way of cleaning bugs off of a 69 grille is? What kind of cleaner does everyone use? Any tips? The bugs look terrible after taking the car on the highway for a cruise.Any particular brush that works well in getting the bugs out of the headlamp doors and grille slots?

Can't go wrong with Mothers. Whole line-up of cleaners and brushes.

For bugs and general road grime, I just use a mild solution of liquid laundry soap. If they're a little more difficult, Murphy's oil soap is good, but a little caustic to bare aluminum etc. so rinse thoroughly. Getting them early is the key.

I've used Goof-Off for everything from tar to tree-sap, and it works great.

Dryer sheets work on love bugs...then you can throw them in the car to keep the critters out of the car! However since you have my husbands handle on most of these sites you threw me for a loop...

Cleaning/brushing off the grille is one of the first things I do after a drive or driving it to a show. Get 'em early!

These work great:

And these with a rag (also works great for engines, tight areas, etc):

I'm sure Meguiar's sells similar products. Foam paint brushes in different sizes from the local hardware store also work great for cleaning in the fins or headlight doors. Spray them or dip them in your favorite cleaner & have at it. Try them with detailer (this is my favorite):

Or, waterless car wash:

There is no all-out simple way, just some time patience. I'm one of the few who never uses a hose & wash bucket on a show car, unless it's so dirty there's just no other way.

(PS - Sorry for the links to this one manufacturer, I just happen to use their products almost exclusively on my cars. I've found their stuff works great!)
