Cleaning Cars and Trucks

You already know most about how to clean your car or truck. But there are different techniques used when cleaning with Bugs N All. So Let's get Started:

Cleaning Interiors

• Cleaning Vehicle Carpeting: The carpet in your vehicle is rather tough and it takes a lot of abuse over its life time. Cleaning this area of the car or truck is pretty straight forward. Spray BNA on the surface and allow a minimum of 10 seconds (and sometimes more than 2 minutes) to work. Use your finger to wipe the area to see how fast BNA is working to determine whether more time is needed before removing the stain. As long as the carpet is wet with BNA, the product is working. In many cases, removing the stain means simply using a towel and wiping the area dry. Other stains may need a more aggressive approach, so consider using a brush to help loosen up the stain. In any case use common sense. BNA will remove most stains.
• Cleaning Dash Boards: Spray a lite mist of BNA over the dashboard area. Concentrate on cleaning half of the dashboard at a time. Wipe the area cleaning with a dry towel of your choice. If there are heavy soiled areas spot clean or spray a heavy mist on a towel and cover the soiled area with the wet towel for 30 - 60 seconds before wiping.
• Cleaning Window and Mirrors: If streaking occurs while cleaning the interior windows and mirrors, consider diluting BNA by using another sprayer. Dilute the ready to use solution by: 1/8 cup per .32 ounces of water. Continue to dilute as needed until no streaking occurs. Here is one important tip. Clean the windows and mirror is a shaded area. The sun evaporates the fluid too quickly, which also contributes to streaking and smearing.

To refill the Ready-To-Use spray bottle: Fill the Ready-To-Use bottle 3/4 of the way with water. Then, put 1/2 cup BNA concentrate into the Ready-To-Use bottle and top off with water.
