For dried bugs i spray with water then hit em with SimpleGreen, Wait for like one smoke (2-3 mins) hit it again with the hose and watch em slide off. Good for brake dust as well.

I want to find something to clean my 04 wrx seat... it has stain that one time after I jogged and my shirt and pants were wet... I wonder if I can take the seat cover out (if there is one). I saw like zipper thing on my seat... but don't know if I can take that out or if that's for the side airbag (side airbag is in my seat, right)?

I'd say 1/3 of the given one in the box would be good. Spray some of the wax on your hand as you're clay barring to prevent the clay from sticking to your fingers.
