Default Bug Stain

Has anyone else had a bug stain their front bumper? I was just filling up the tank and flicked one off the front and it left an orange mark on my bumper!

Ever hear the joke about what's the last thing that goes through a bug's brain before it hits your car? IT's ****!!! Seriously, it will probably wash off with a little extra soap or claying.

Yeah I got it off today with a soft microfiber mesh pad I picked up from walgreens for like a dollar. I was real careful using it but it isnt abrasive but it gets the guts off really well after a mild soap.

Just put some car wash soap on for a minute or so, then wipe it off with a micro fiber cloth. Then repeat. Usually the first application loosens up everything and the second application takes it all off.

What color is the car? wash it good, then let is set in the sun. I have PPW and have had yellow bug stain, but sitting it out in the sun bleaches the stain out. I wouldnt worry to much.
