I've never been to Florida. I guess bugs in FL are different huh? Do they meow?

Seriously....use clay bar.

Most auto stores sell "Bug and Tar Remover". Pour a small amount on a cotton cloth and rub gently - expect it to take awhile til it comes up.

yes in florida, we have these things called LOVEBUGS....a lovebug is a little black fly w/ an orange ***. They fly around stuck together by the ***, and have NO purpose other than to get stuck to the front of your cars. They dont come off w/ washing and waxing, they just mess up your paint....they are called lovebugs because all they do is fly around having sex....i hate these bugs....

once you get them off (I second the claybar suggestion) be sure to put a good coat of wax on there. It will prevent bugs from giving you problems in the future.

I also agree with the claybar suggestion.

suggest you try that bug and tar spray first. that thing did wonders to a friend of mine after a 15 hour drive. after that, claybar to get any remaining crap.. then polish/wax the area so next time bugs come off easier
