Anyone try this? Claims to apply a ceramic coating. Torque Detail Ceramic Spray

Some of the reviews say helps with removing bugs.

If you've been in Florida a long time now, I am really surprised you still recommend Vaseline, but we all have our favs that work for us. Olive oil probably won't hurt your auto if you get it off the light/white cars completely. And it's a little pricey for this kind of use, but again, to each their own preference. We were brought up in South Florida to use a natural non toxic like WD, so we use that because it's worked so well, east to apply, and does not leave the residue of olive oil, or that Vaseline (petroleum) could. Never done that so not saying yea or nay.
That is INTERESTING. I was thinking that the spray part of the oil in WD 40 would be able to act like a solvent and HURT the car's paint. I notice when I get WD-40 on my hands that it feels harsher than Vaseline or olive oil. I assume we would have to get an expert chemist that knows WD-40 well to pass a "summary judgment" on the possibility of it acting as a solvent to paint. If we had a small quantity of oil-based paint and added WD-40, I am sure that they would blend together. But, then again, today's automotive paints are water-soluble. So, ?????

Yes, WD-40 works great on Love Bug splat. It’s extra work & washing & waxing your car but WD-40 gets the splat off the finish of the car! Same thing in S. Carolina.

WD40 is excellent for getting sticky stuff off the golf cart windshield.

I have been using Bugs-B-Gone for years on all sorts of bugs and tar on my cars. Spray it on and wipe it off, they are gone.

Spray hydrogen peroxide on the car. Bugs bubble up and almost slide off. Rinse and repeat if necessary.
