Default Damn bugs!!!

Ugh! Maybe it's just me but driving at night in the south pisses me off to no end. It could be a completely clear night out and it still sounds like it's raining. It's not rain though, it's bugs! Anyway, what do you guys use to remove all of the dead carcasses from your bumper/grill/windshield/hood/etc? I've tried the Bug and Tar remover stuff and it seems to work pretty well but I'm curious what you guys use. I use Zaino products for my wash/clay/wax/etc. I clay twice a year as well. Thanks in advance!

Keep your bumper and windshield waxed. Makes for easier clean up. Just good ol scrubbing after a couple good soaks with warm soapy water.

I keep a bottle of detailer spray (maguires ultimate at the moment) and a microfiber rag in the pocket behind the driver's seat. After every drive the bugs come off before I go in the house. I don't want those little buggers to bake on in the sun.

Everyone swears by using fabric softener sheets. Haven't tried it though.

Ok, I'll admit it, I've never heard of this. How do you use them?
