Jax Wax Bug Zapper Bug & Tar Remover

Bugs aren't just ugly on your paint — they're actively damaging it. Bug splatter is acidic, and the longer it sits on your clear coat, the deeper it etches. Jax Wax Bug Zapper is a ready-to-use formula that breaks down and dissolves bug remains on contact, lifting them off your paint before they get the chance to cause permanent damage. Safe on paint, chrome, and plastic, it's the fast, effective solution for the front end of any vehicle after a highway run.

At Chicago Jax Wax, Bug Zapper is a must-have for anyone who drives at speed — especially on road trips, track days, or summer cruises where bug accumulation is heavy. A quick spray and a minute of dwell time, and your front bumper, hood, and windshield come clean without scrubbing or scratching.

What It Does

• Dissolves bug splatter on contact — breaks down the acidic proteins in bug remains before they etch into your clear coat
• Prevents clear coat damage — removes bugs quickly to stop the etching process before it starts
• Safe on all exterior surfaces — paint, chrome, plastic trim, and glass
• Ready to use — no diluting or mixing required, spray directly on the affected area
• Minimal agitation needed — dwell time does the work, so you're not scrubbing and risking scratches

How to Use

1. Wet the entire surface area to be treated before applying
2. Spray Bug Zapper liberally over the bug-covered area
3. Allow to dwell for 1 minute — the formula will begin breaking down the bug remains
4. Agitate gently with a wash mitt and watch the bugs lift away
5. Rinse thoroughly and proceed with your normal wash routine

Pro tip: Apply Bug Zapper before your regular wash as a pre-treatment step. Spray it on, let it dwell while you prep your wash bucket, then agitate and rinse. It makes the rest of the wash dramatically easier and protects your paint from the scrubbing that bug removal usually requires.
