Meguiers Detailer spray and 100% american made cotton towel works very well for me.

Sort of obvious...................car wash soap. Soak on the bugs a few minutes and they come right off

X2 May have to let sit for more time for stubborn bugs, old Tee shirts work well, or if you can talk the babe next door outta hers for a bit.

I use peroxide and water. I have used cold to warm water with no problems. The bugs come right off if I let things soak a few minutes. I then use detailer to finish things up.

We must have different bugs here cause they never ever come right off my truck or bike. Tried everything. Whatever works for ya but no easy fix here . They longer they sit the harder it is to remove them.
