There has to be some way to remove the dead bugs out of the front of my car that's easy to do and lots of stuff out there that is spray on rinse off or spray on and keep bugs from sticking. I know lots of you have been there and have good ideas so if you could share your ideas I would really appreciate it and thanks in advance........
 
Before I take a long trip down here in the south, I wax the front of the car or truck really good. The day before I leave I usually put a good coat of Turtle paste wax on & leave it until I get where I'm going. I rub the wax off, go about my business & put another good coat on for the trip home. There is no miracle elixir for the doggone things other than keeping the vehicle clean & waxed.
 
I used to give my in laws Taurus it's once a year detail. They live in central Florida and the bugs would be a massive job. I tried lots of products and found the Griots and a cotton Terry cloth was the easiest and most thorough bug remover.

We have lots of bugs up here and at night they can be so bad that we have to stop on the side of the road to clean off the windshield and headlights.

I tried that and works pretty good but behind the grill and in the radiator in the hard to get spots I have to scrub still.

This is pretty typical after driving say 30 miles at night here.
 
I had Nasty Tar from a road that was just so called finished. It left a large amount on the quarter panel. Showed it to the owner of P&S products since he was a neighbor of mine when I lived in SF. He had a small bottle in his truck and said try it out. It was P&S Overspray remover. Worked like a charm. He also gave me a trail sample of Bug Off Insect Remover which he said might work for the tar also but much more mild. To this day I swear by the Bug Off.
 
I've found that the stuff you buy at Dollar General or Family Dollar works great. Cheap to, about two dollars.
Not sure what it's called, but it comes in a spray bottle with a orange label.
Spray on and let it sit, come back and hose off.
 
I use spray and wash to deep clean my dirt bike and on the front end of my cars and trucks when they get covered in bugs. Hit the front end with the hose to get it wet and coat it with a nice coat of spray and wash. If its warm I will have to keep coating it every 5 minutes or so so it won't dry out, but after about 20 minutes. the bug parts and guts wash right off. Every once in a while I will have to rub a bit or two with a terry cloth rag, but it's mostly just hose off.
