I spayed me car off today at the car wash with a high pressure hose, even that could not get them off of my car or windshield.

They practicaly become one with the paint. I love to drive in the evenings but once you have to turn the lights on....goodbye to the clean front end.

I buy the pre-treated bug/tar remover wipes and those work excellent. Just a couple of passes and they come off.

The one I use is called Bug Free bug and tar remover. I think I got it at Walmart. I am sure any kind will work though.

Never use high pressure.Use the garden hose,without the spray nozzle,it's ok to use your thumb.Pressure grinds the dirt&grit into your paint.
