Default Florida bug splatter

Hey you Florida truck owners! How do you get these freakin June bugs off the front of your truck?
Made a trip down there 1st of the month and having trouble scrubbing these pesty black blotches off the bumper and mirrors.
Got any suggestions "besides acid"

Or when you are cleaning it, take a dryer sheet and dip it into your soap bucket and then use it to scrub the bugs off. It surprizingly works well. It will not scratch due to the woven fabric of the sheet. If they are baked on, you might want to spray a little wheel cleaner on there before using the sheet. I use this method on both my truck and my wife's car.

Exactly my recommendation. I used this trick everytime I washed my truck while I lived in Mississippi through several love bug seasons.
