Tar and Bug remover

I have a white sport and now remember why I normally wouldn't have gotten a white car... road tar and bugs, you see every last little speck when you wash them. I decided I needed something to help cut down on the elbo grease needed to remove these things so I picked up some RainEx brand bug and tar remover at the recommendation of the counter guy. Trust me, RainEx sucks rocks. I used almost the whole bottle and it barely even softens the bugs doesn't even phase the road tar. So this morninng at the grocery store I checked the isle with the Auto stuff and sure enough they had a few products. I grabbed a bottle of the Turtle Wax bug and tar remover and I'm pleased to say it works like a charm. Put a little on a clean rag, rub the bug a little and it comes right off. Same with road tar. Cut the effort needed to get them off the car by 70% at least. If anybody else has a brand that they like list it here just so others can look for what to or not to buy.

PS the Turtle Wax stuff says it's safe on clear coat, I didn't notice any finish issues after I was done.
