What is the consensus on the best bug and tar remover for our beloved car? Any recommendations? Thanks.

Edit: Has anyone seen these ?

Blue Magic brand is what I have used and it works great. Whatever you do, stay away from the Turtle Wax crap. It barely works and if you don't get it of right away it leaves a white film that is a pain to get off.

Just a heads up: Stay away from anything Turtle Wax makes. It's all junk.

Ever since I Zainoed my car the first time, bugs and tar come off very easily without wipes

I have a bottle of the turtle was stuff and haven't had any problem with it. Granted, I have a white car, so the white film isn't much of an issue.

I have been testing a newish product from einszett called Anti-Insekt. It actually breaks down the skeletal structure of the bugs making them wipe right off. I use it as a pre-treater before I wash. So far it has done really well. The nice thing is that it doesn't seem to pull off the wax the way a bug and tar remover will.
