Hey wassup guys my car is 3 years old and the front bumper looks horrible. It has sap and bugs really bad I have tried everything not sure what to do. I am saving up to do a 2 tone job in October. So I don't want to repaint it what can I do in the meantime? :(

You're supposed to wash it from time to time ;-) ... Sap and bugs melt clear coat/paint over time. Every time you see a bug, get it off. But they make degreasers that claim to be safe of car paint. Try them out.

I can see your point. Yes, definitely try the bug/tar remover. But test it in an inconspicuous area.

It sucks,I've even tried sanding them out before without very good results.My best advise,keep a good coat of wax on it and don't let the bugs sit on the paint more than a day or two.
