Product Overview
Product Description
Turtle Wax Power Foam Bug & Tar Remover utilizes a super clinging foam that creates an extended dwell time. This allows advanced natural solvent technology, tar cutters, and bug dissolving chemistry to deeply penetrate and loosen contaminants for easier removal. The foam effectively clings to vertical surfaces and can be sprayed into hard-to-reach areas, ensuring thorough contact cleaning. Once the foam collapses into a liquid, simply wipe or wash off the residue. This product is designed to let the foam do the work, simplifying the cleaning process.
Key Features
- Super clinging foam penetrates and dissolves bugs, tar, and sap.
- Can be used as a pre-wash treatment or for targeted spot cleaning.
- Formulated to deliver streak-free results on various surfaces including paint, glass, metal, and plastic.
- Wide spray foam quickly covers large areas for efficient application.

Operating Instructions
Step-by-Step Application
1. Spray Application: Hold the can approximately 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) from the surface. Spray a generous amount of foam directly onto the affected area, ensuring complete coverage of bugs, tar, or sap deposits.

2. Allow to Dwell: Allow the foam to cling to the surface and penetrate the contaminants for 1-3 minutes. The foam will gradually begin to collapse into a liquid, which indicates that it is actively working to dissolve the residue.

3. Wipe or Wash Off: Once the foam has collapsed, gently wipe the treated area with a clean, soft microfiber towel. Alternatively, you can wash off the product with water. For particularly stubborn residues, a second application or light agitation with a soft brush or sponge may be necessary before wiping.
