Bug removal products

[BigDog88]

Its that time of year where a casual drive to the grocery store will result in some dead bugs splatter across your windshield.  Im curious what products yall are using that help remove them easily to help save some "elbow grease".  Some products are really hard on the paint, and with the already soft paint it seems on the hoods of these trucks, I want to use something that wont hurt the paint.  

 

Thanks for your input!

After I wash the truck I use Ultimate Quick Detail spray or the new Hybrid Ceramic Detail spray.  Bugs and everything else are very easy to remove the next wash or just use the spray again to loosen them and wipe away.

Rubbing alcohol and a microfiber.  Learned this from a guy that details exotic cars.  I assume the splatter gets worse at 200 MPH

Quik Detailer. I may try some Schaefer’s Citro or OTC bug remover products.

It's only just becoming avail in the US this year; ZOOM Cleaner. We have a large fanbase in the RV/Motorhome community, as those things are bug magnets.
Spray it on & let it set for a bit. Longer if the bugs have been baking on for a month, or shorter if they're fresh. Agitate gently with a soft carwash brush. Rinse. Done. No hard work. 
Very gentle on paint and other surfaces. Enviro-friendly & odour free also. Low cost per wash as well.
I use it to clean everything - my whole truck, dirtbike, trailer, house exterior, patio furniture, etc.

That's what I use for removing tree sap. Well, I prefer hand sanitizer, since it doesn't run, but same principal.

You're the one hogging all the hand sanitizer!

I usually just use water. Spray them with water, let it sit for a few minutes, spray with water again they’re usually ready to easily wipe off. Another option is to place a wet towel over the bugs for a few minutes to soften them up. Better yet, my electric pressure washer makes quick work of them.

No chemicals needed.......soften them with water for a bit and wipe them off.
