S.o.s. bugs splatter!

Actually most of the bug & tar removers are just petrolium based solvents that only work well on the tar portion of the bug & tar.
Look for bug remover that is enzyme based and specifically attacks protien. That will get the bugs off.

it might be a little late for this but you local auto store should have bug removing cleaner. the one i used before came in a dark purple spray bottle with green printing.
here's a picture of my 09 si, when i still had it, after a trip i took to the bay area for my graduation! the stuff worked like a charm.

^^^ yup! i've made the drive a billion gazillion times and it's never been that bad. i used to commute back and forth from the bay area to my home town 4 to 5 times a month to visit my girlfriend and never had i ever run into so many bugs!! LOL!!

Bug condom for trips
How about carefully applying clear food wrap across the front bumper area if you're going on a long trip? If it loads up, just peel it off and apply another strip. Won't hurt the paint and is super-cheap. Maybe moisten the bumper first so it sticks good. Just be sure don't block radiator airflow

As for removing the bugs that are already there, I second the dryer sheet, but make sure you soak it good before using it and to scour the shit out of the affected area, otherwise you will get scratches. To remove the majority of the bug guts, I use hydrogen peroxide. Won't damage the paint and foams up the guts for easy removal!

I've been using them for years on a variety of cars.
