    pre wash the front of the car with hot soapy water, leave to soak for a few minutes then wet it over again before you wash the car all over

    the pre wash will soften the bugs and make them easier to remove

    I'd use hot water and if still no joy, autoglym tar spot remover.

    I have yet to see any bugs on my car after a few months of doing nothing about them.

    Where as mine looks like there's been a massacre just after driving the 10 minutes home from the car wash place

    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. .


    This works well with dried on birdsh!t too.
