Bug & Tar remover works great, also try any liquid wax.

I just washed my car last night. I'm forced to park under a cherry tree so birds are constantly over me and sh!tting and dropping cherries on my car.
i used mothers carwash solution. and it worked fine to get everything off.

I installed new flybelts for my 240.
When I drive around 3k-4k RPM, they start to squeek again.

At first, it only made noise when I started the car and now its doing it when I drive it.
I think I may have installed them wrong/maybe a little loose on the installation?

It's either too loose/tight. I forgot which one makes the car squeal.
But that should be the first thing you check Thumbs Up

If theres nothin you can do about the belts being squueeeeeky, thats if the belt is not toooo tooo loose
or extremely super tight
hit up your local Napa and get some belt grease (apply a lil bit)
It looks like a glue stick. Wink works wonders.
