Default Best product to remove caked on bugs on front bumper?

Just wondering you gents have used to remove bugs/road grime from your front bumper without hurting the paint job. Thanks.

Any brand name cleaner for this task should do. Do not rub or press to hard, also a Clay Bar works well. Follow the directions that come along with the Clay Bar.

Wax the nose real good then they won't stick so hard.
I use a sponge with mesh over it. I can also use HOT water in my garden hose (thanks to my neighbor the plumber). It works good, but as the wax wears down over time I notice it gets more difficult to remove the bugs.

Any bug and tar remover would do, just follow the directions on the bottle. they also make protective film to protect your car's paint. If all else fails, clay bar.

I've been using this stuff for a while now. Works pretty well. Just spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes and then wash/wipe it off.

Those little bastards are hard to get off. I've yet to find a cleaner that gets them completely off. When ever I go to the car wash, it handles them though.

The best product that I've come across, and the only one I use for bird droppings, stuck on bugs, tree sap and any other contaminant would be Adams clay bar and detail spray. It smells good and works instantly. I would definately look into going to Adams who has an online site to get everything you need. Ive used it on all my past vehicles, and all my friends cars and trucks. Absolutely awesome. Check it out, and let me know what you think!

Simple green first, then a claybar.

Ive heard and learned from personal experience not to wipe bird |**POPO** off as is contains acid and rocks which when wiping will harm your car even further and scratching it. Always powerwash or a good good hose nosel to blast it of first before removing any damage the acid may have caused to the clear coat if its been there a while.
