Who it's for

When bug, tar, and sap removal makes sense

Heavy Bug / Tar / Sap is an optional add-on when the front end, hood, mirrors, or lower panels have baked-on bug splatter, tar spots, or tree sap that needs targeted removal — beyond what a normal hand wash covers. We quote on site, typically $50–$100 depending on severity.

Highway commuters

Daily drives on I-35, 75, or 635 leave bug splatter baked onto the front end.

Parking under trees

Tree sap drips on hood and roof — it hardens and won't come off with a normal wash.

Fresh road tar or construction

Tar spots on lower panels and rockers from recent paving or lane work.

Expertise

Why bugs and sap need more than a wash

  • Bugs bake onto hot paint
  • Tar and sap bond to clear coat
  • Scrubbing wrong causes marring
Why it's tricky

Texas highway driving leaves lovebugs and splatter on bumpers and grilles. Tar from fresh pavement and sap from parking under trees bond to paint. A normal wash loosens surface dirt but leaves these spots — and aggressive scrubbing can mar the finish.

What we do

We treat affected areas with appropriate removers, let them dwell, and carefully lift bug, tar, and sap without rushing the paint. Then the rest of your exterior wash and detail continues from the base pack.

How do you remove bugs, tar, and sap from a car?

We apply appropriate removers to affected areas, allow dwell time, and carefully lift buildup without harsh scrubbing. Scope depends on how much of the vehicle is covered.

Which areas around Dallas do you cover?

We're mobile and come to you across Dallas and nearby suburbs, including Plano, Frisco, Richardson, Carrollton, Addison, Coppell, and Las Colinas. Add your address when you book and we'll confirm coverage.

Is bug and tar removal included in Interior + Exterior?

Light spots may come off during a normal hand wash. Heavy baked-on bug splatter, tar, or sap that needs targeted treatment is this add-on.

The add-on is typically $50–$100 depending on how much area is affected and how baked-on the buildup is. We confirm the price before starting.

Can I book this without a detail pack?

No. This is an add-on only — you need Interior Deep Detail or Interior + Exterior as the base service.

Will bug remover damage my paint?

We use appropriate products with proper dwell time and gentle agitation — not aggressive scrubbing on hot paint. We assess at the walkaround.

How long does bug, tar, and sap removal add?

Targeted removal typically adds 20–60 minutes depending on how much of the vehicle is affected.
