hello. last week me and the mrs went to wales on a camping trip. the whole jouney there and back, also driving about i clocked up almost 700 mlies, when back at home you would not have known my front end should be red, it was like every species of bug etc, decided to fly in my path. and still now there is a see though reminece of where they were.
the car was washed twice, once with turtle wax and wash, once with auto gleme. this removed the thick of black and green.
then leathered the car three times at least.
then went over front with turtle bug and tar remover. still see marks.
repeted again. still see marks.
went to lacal store and bought auto gleme bugg remover and a special micro fibre bug spunge, and two epensive brands of polish cloths.
again washed front end only with auto gleme, used the bug stuff. STILL there was a seethrough mark. so my last resort was auto gleme super resin polish, to try and get it off. anyway still there, not obvious but can see in curtain light. spent hours at it, and now give up. i need advice.
thank you

No it won't just remember to fold the clay after say every half a panel and use plenty of lube otherwise you will mar the paintwork;)
