they sell stuff that gets it off of there, you spray it on and rub it in it removes bug juice, and tar and stuff i think. i used it on my car worked pretty well

I usually turn to Stoner Tarminator before a wash. Beyond that if that doesn't get it off entirely, I use a clay bar on the effected areas.

Hope that helps.

wd40 works. i usually spray wd40 on a paper towel, and then just wipe right off.

i have heard that peanut butter also works, but have not tried it.

WD40 is good, just be sure to rewax. I like Varsol from ExxonMobil, you can find it at better parts stores by the gallon. Cleans any kind of oil based stain. Again, rewax when done.
