What Customers Are Saying

The product appears to be effective at removing bugs, but its performance on other types of road grime and stains is mixed. Many customers reported it worked well and was easy to use, but some found it left behind a white film or residue and required significant scrubbing. While effective for bugs, its overall effectiveness on other stains seems inconsistent.

Worst product I've used

I bought this along with quite a few other turtlewax products last week. I used it today on a freshly washed and dried car to remove tiny tar specs. After 10 minutes of soaking it did absolutely nothing. Didn't even soften the tar. I'm not one to leave a bad review unless necessary. I've sent a video to your Instagram account. Would give it zero stars if possible.

Didn't work after multiple applications and soaks

I sprayed this onto multiple spots of road tar on my Jeep and let it soak for a minute. Rubbing didn't remove the spots. I sprayed it again and waited longer, still it didn't remove the spots. I was really surprised because I used the old version many years ago and it worked really well removing the tar. This didn't seem to break it down at all.

Barely Did Anything

I applied per instructions & barely any effects on bugs, sap, and tar. Would not recommend.

Super simple...and super effective!

I bought and used this today, after trying some other brand aerosol spray. This stuff WORKS! Had about a dozen tree sap spots on my front hood. They had been there over a week...I just thought they were dirt marks, not tree sap. Sprayed a squirt on the spot and a squirt into a clean cloth and before I knew it, the, what seemed impeded tree sap disappeared. Great stuff!

Works the best I’ve ever used!

I’ve driven 50,000 in 2 years with my Ram 1500, so obviously I get a lot of bugs caked on and dried to the front grill. I’ve tried everything: soapy water, goo gone, power washing, scraping off the bugs with my literal nails, nothing. Then I used this and it worked like a CHARM! I will say it leaves the spots you’re working on very greasy, so use caution with glass and windows. I have to still wash the truck to get the grease off, but I still keep just staring at the grill. Literally it is the c...

Great item

With the storm we had in August my vehicle got a lot of tree sap on the hood. I was upset. I called the dealer he recommended turtle wax. It took the sap right off.

Hard. To get in auto stores in Queensland.

Been buying this product for years. It can also be used for removing grease from washing machines. But of late it is difficult to find in Australia This often happens to good products.

Does not work

Applied as directed, does not work as advertised. I decided to try again with an ample amount of remover and let it stand for 2-3 minutes even though it says 1 minute and it did not remove a single bug from my car. I used Meguiars ultimate wash and wax to finally get the bugs removed using the same method. Bad product.

VERY disappointed

I purchased this about a month ago and I'm so disappointed in the product. I applied it as instructed and early morning in the shade. It's very hard to remove the love bugs and the product is greasing and leaves a film that takes 2-3 washes to remove.

Destroyed front of car

Tried using this on both my Audi's. Started with my 2013. Nice cool night here in Maine, 64 degrees. Shook well, sprayed on and waited a minute or two. Went to wipe it off and it etched itself into the clear 3M film. Went into full panic mode trying everything to buff it out and no such luck. Car just had bumper and protective film done 4 months ago and auto body shop said has to be replaced. Be careful when using!!!

Bugs, Tar and Pine Sap - All Came Off!!!

I took my car on a 3000km trip with other campers late August. Saskatchewan to North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Alberta and back. Smacked into a lot of bugs and drove over some fresh tarred roads. Parked under Ponderosa pine trees for a couple of nights and dripped sap on the passenger door. I never used bug and tar remover always thinking a good car cleaner and scrubbing to take these things off. I never really had good luck but made due. This time, with my car all dirty from the t...

Awesome

I purchased this product after getting tar on our brand new white Dodge Durango. I read reviews before the purchase and they were helpful. As I read from a review I spayed all areas needed and let it sit. Came off with no effort.

Great front bumper cleaner

I bought a few weeks ago. I have always hated cleaning the front bumper, especially during the summer. Bugs were always plastered to the front bumper, and grille. Turtle waxes “ Bug and Tar” remover works effectively. Also; it makes it easier to clean the next time you wash your vehicle. I also love the smell of the cleaner. I also use it for cleaning grease under the hood, and the dirt in the door jambs.

Amazing

Bought this to use on my new to me Camaro.....bugs, butterflies and who- knows- what all over the front....Followed directions to the letter and it worked great! Did a wonderful job on headlights, too. Quick removal of some tar spots on rocker panels. Also helped with tree sap on roof. Would recommend!

Amazing!

I had tar built up on my car for a few years. I tried everything to get this tar off. I went to numerous different car washes and scrubbed the heck out of my car, nothing worked. I've also had bugs all over the front of my car and all over my mirrors that I was convinced would just be there forever. One day I was browsing the car care isle and stumbled upon this stuff and decided to give it a try. I am SO glad that I did. This stuff is magic, it removed EVERY BIT of tar and bug off of my car tha...

Really removes pine tar

About a month ago my car had to be repaired. While the garage was waiting for the parts to arrive my car was parked under a pine tree. Needless to say when I got the car back there was pine sap all over it. I got some Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover. I found that the best way to use this product is to apply it to the area, let it sit for 30 minutes and then just wipe everything off easily and an nice shine is left.
