One trick I have used for years is to take the leg from an old pair of panty hose, put a small sponge in side of it, and then use this to scrub the bugs off. It won't scratch your paint and removes the bugs pretty easily. Just be sure you have hosed the car down real good. This softens the bug residue considerably. Anything that doesn't come off, can usually be removed with tar and bug remover.

that will swirl the clear coat.
rubbing alcohol works fine..wont hurt the clear coat.
if you guys use multiple coats of zaino show car polish......you wont have to worry about bug removale. i flick em off with my fingers.. and just spray with z6 and they wipe right off. they dont stick...and the acid does not penetrate to the clear which causes etching.......
I second Ken on that. But the clay bar does do wonders as well. A good Zaino testimonial: About 1 month after I started using Zaino, I ran though a puddle of white paint, yes paint ,(my car is black) by the time I found a car wash alot of it was already starting to dry. I thought I was screwed. I turned on the pressure washer....the paint came right off. Since then, nothing but Zaino for my baby!
I ran over a freshly painted white line in my Black car... thought I was going to have to clay to get it off (removing my Zaino in the process), but when I got home I just sprayed a little Z6 on it and it wiped right off. The next morning I came out and found some spots of white paint I had missed, now thouroughly dry. Again, I just sprayed with Z6, and they wiped right off. I cannot say it enough, if you're not using Zaino, you're not using the best on your car!
