An old trick is to use a corn cob and water to remove bugs. Works great. Be sure to take the corn off the cob before using. haha

Read somewhere that Johnson's Baby Oil removes bug and tar splats, though I have yet to try it.

Skin So Soft from Avon. Works great, non-abrasive and actually keeps bugs off your car. Na, just kidding, but you can rub some on yourself to keep them off you.

Stupid Bugs...i got a chip in my paint because of one. Although its a small chip, I'm just mad that a bug caused it. Some touch up paint will probably fix it though, but I still have to go through that hassle. Beware..Its spring time...damn bugs be breeding crazy.
