Wash it? You can use a detail spray in between washes to get them off as well. If they're really stuck on there u could try a claybar.

A little secret that I learned from my friends father, who owns a dealership. Use Coa-Cola on the bugs, takes them right off and it's safe of the paint.

claybar will get them right off with minimal effort. you can also try some bug/tar remover, but the claybar is easier and I just save that stuff for tar. After you claybar the front, be sure to rewax, cause claybar strips your wax.

Agree with you too on the above. I always use some coke first then follow up with the claybar. Of course then Hawk see's very little bug action but I do use the following on my other ride.

In severe cases, I have used WD-40 and a soft bug sponge. WD-40 does contain a fair amount of petrolleum distillates, so I wouldn't make it a habit.
