WD-40 was a detailer's trick I learned years ago. just spray it on let it set for about 30 seconds then wash with a wash mit that has the bug scrub side on it and rinse the use some sort of wax.

If you use a good wax on the front of your vehicle most bugs will come right of without much effort.

WD 40 is the magic solvent for anything, however, Im always worried about its effects on the paint. Bugs are water soluble covering them with a wet rag for a minute or 2 with a rag should do the job. On oil and tar I preffer the clay bar the clay isnt that great on bugs.

I found a clay bar to work really well on the chrome grill and bumper parts for getting the bugs off. But I did spend about 3 hours claying the truck.
You can get different grades of clay bar from mild to agressive - just remember if you do clay anything, it will remove all previous protection (wax, sealant etc).

I love spending a whole day doing the wash, clay, polish, wax thing but I'm gonna try the hot wet rag trick though - sounds like a lot less effort.

BUGS B GONE Made by Seafoam works wonderful just spray it on and rinse it off. Works great on the black of the mirrors also. I carry a bottle and spray windshield while putting gas in and just use scrubber at station. Best stuff I have found!!
