There's a product called "Bug-B-Gone" that I use. Major autoparts stores usually carry it. I'm not sure about what professional detailers think about it, but it works great for me, especially during lovebug season here in FL.

It's water-activated, so you gotta use a wet sponge or something along with it. If I let it sit for a couple of minutes, the bug guts usually just wipe right off.

The longer you let the bug crap stay on your car, though, some of it can eat through the clear coat. The sooner you get it off, the better.

Try WD-40 before you go buying special bug remover...they contain the same petroleum distillates.

A lot of the detailers here and at g35 really like using Poorboys Bug Squash. Their APC also works well, but the dedicated bug remover seems to do the trick perfectly.
