After a trip, I have what seems like a rather big dead bug melted to my hood (black).

Washing can't get it off. Tar and Bug remover useless.

Without damaging the finish, anyone have home made ideas?

 

Try claying it!

Try soaking the spot. Place a small towel soaked with carwash solution (water and concentrate) on the spot and leave for quite a while, 15 minutes will usually do the trick, 30 minutes could be better. The "guts" should come off quite easily thereafter, if not, coax it along with a fingernail...that should do the trick.

Let us know what worked.

I second the claybar idea.

i say to try what chinee said, i am not a big fan of claybar, it has failed miserably for me. (tree sap)

you can also try some paint thinner on a small rag... then dont forget to wash+wax the area afterwards. Works well for me
