Default Best bug + tar remover?

What exactly is the best bug and tar remover that I can get from local stores like Autozone or Wal-Mart?
And should I use a microfiber towel, or one of those cheap sponges w/ the net around it?

I have tried turtle wax bug n tar remover but it comes out in a stream and doesnt work all that well.

Thanks!

I dunno if it's available retail, but this stuff called Ardex works like a charm. Acetone or mineral spirits might work, but wait for someone else to reply on how bad that is for the clear coat. I've never had any luck with the "over-the-counter" stuff.

^^^ and bond to the metal so no precleaner or primer will ever work properly effectively destroying the finish permanently with no possibility of repair other than full replacement.

Some of your nerdy jokes don't make sense? What are NaCl/NaI(2) and C(3)H(8)O going to do?
