The front of my car looks like a bug mortuary. I have tried both Maguires and Eagle 1 bug and tar remover to no avail. Do any of you have a trick you use I haven't thought of yet? Thanks!

Had the same problem. Did a lot of rubbing until it came clean (same products you are useing). I now use a bra and don't worry about bug, rocks, trash, etc

Porsche makes an insect remover that you spray on and then wash off. Product number 999.901.019.41, found it to work well.

My dad just showed me this trick last weekend and I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. He took one of those Bounce anti-static dryer sheets and wet it and it took the bug guts right off. The thing that amazed me the most was that it took very little pressure to get the bugs off...just pass the wet cloth over the bugs and they come right off (i.e. no scrubing)!
