Getting rid of bug stains is a PITA

Especially on the black cars. I just got done washing the G. No matter how much I scrubbed the front bumper, the damn spots where still there. Not stains, but just bug crap that was hard to remove. Tips anyone?

i usually use Bug and Tar Remover from kragen. comes in a spray can. works pretty well, if you don't let the bug crap sit on your car too long.

WD-40 or stoners Tarmaitor is use to help soften and easy remove bug and tar from the paint surface.

Even wet the cars surface and spray APC can remove bug crap. But also removes the wax protection too.

Ever since I had the clear bra put on my car about 3 years ago, I never encountered this problem ever again.
