Road & Track Names Chemical Guys ClingShot the "Best Foaming Remover"
When it comes to removing baked-on bugs, stubborn tar, and sticky tree sap, the best products don't just clean—they make the job easier. That's exactly why Road & Track recognized Chemical Guys ClingShot Bug, Tar & Sap Remover as its "Best Foaming Remover" in its latest roundup of the Best Bug, Tar & Sap Removers.
During hands-on testing, reviewer Sheilah Villari found that ClingShot's thick, clinging foam immediately set it apart from the competition.
"The Chemical Guys ClingShot Bug, Tar, and Sap Remover stood out immediately thanks to its thick, foaming formula. When sprayed onto the front bumper, the foam clung well to the vertical surface instead of running off immediately. That extra time gave the cleaner a chance to soften dried splatter and tar spots before I ever touched it, making the cleanup process much easier."
Unlike thinner liquid cleaners that quickly drip off painted surfaces, ClingShot's foaming formula stays where it's sprayed, giving the active ingredients more time to penetrate stubborn bug remains, tar, and road grime before wiping them away.
Road & Track also praised the product's real-world performance, noting that it significantly reduced the amount of scrubbing required during testing.
"Performance matched the presentation. The foam effectively reduces the amount of elbow grease needed to restore the front panel to a clean state. It worked very well on areas where insects had accumulated, like the grille and around the front bumper, and it wiped away cleanly each pass."
Why ClingShot Stands Out
ClingShot was designed to solve one of detailing's most frustrating problems: cleaners that run off before they have time to work. Its thick foaming action clings to vertical surfaces, helping loosen bug splatter, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, and road grime so contaminants can be removed more easily and with less effort.
Whether you're cleaning after a road trip or preparing your vehicle for a full detail, ClingShot helps make the process faster, safer, and more effective.
Recognized by Road & Track
We're honored to see ClingShot recognized by one of the automotive industry's most respected publications. Awards like this validate what detailers have been telling us since launch: when the foam stays put, the work gets easier.
