Oh come on, at least keep your trolling to relevant threads.0 -
Some polish and elbow grease. Don't use jet wash on car paintwork,, it can take the laquer off.0

Thanks, would the jet washes at petrol stations still be too powerful?0

You can buy bug remover sponges, the one I have is like an ordinary sponge inside a fishing net. The sponge hold water to wet & soften the dead thing, and the net is gently abrasive.
If you want to live dangerously, try a white/non scratch panscourer somewhere that doesn't show (modern "paint" is barely waterproof, never mind attacking it with a scourer)
You might even find that the insect juices have attacked the "paint" and discoloured it, try a mildly abrasive polish like Autoglym resin polish.
Then when clean put some wax on to protect the "paint".I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
(except air quality and Medical Science)

Use a wet tea towel (old one or a cheap one), it's abrasive enough to lift the bugs, but not enough to damage the paint.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Kitchen towel, soaked in water or, even better, screenwash. Lay it over the affected area and leave for 15 minutes. Push the kitchen towel to one side as you lift it off, and most of the bugs will come with it. The rest should come off with a gentle sponge. I wouldn't take a scourer, even an old, soft one, anywhere near paint.
Works well on glass, too.If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0 -
I have yet to see any bugs on my car after a few months of doing nothing about them.0
