Bug Remover
I find that if you catch them before they get hard, and the acids start working on the paint, that a microfiber towel and car wash shampoo or quick detailer is all you need. The tiny hooks in the microfiber pull them off much easier than a chenille wash mitt or towel.
If they've been on there for a while, then you'll likely have to step up to a solvent type bug & tar remover. They're all pretty much effective, even the Turtle Wax variety.
Of course if you do have to use a solvent remover like that, you'll have to rewax the area, as it strips most of the wax or sealant away
The key is get to them ASAP, after a highway run, I do mine before I even put the car away. Some quick detailer and a microfiber towel work for that, if you do them immediately, they're very easy to remove. Cheers.

Thanks. I used the bug & tar remover for my old GM car. It's all cleaned up with tons of hard work. I will clean off the bugs regularly from now on and not letting them bake into the finish.
