Unhappy ground in bugs...help

I have what I beleive is ground in bugs on my front bumper. I tried to remove them. I had it into a detailer, he couldn't get them off. I tried a clay bar, yup, that didn't work. I don't want to paint the car yet. last summer I put the bra on the bumper only to hide the mess. Any ideas?

Try WD-40 and see if that helps, then try a mild abrasive. If it is actually etched into the paint, you'll have to repair it.

If the acids from the bugs body have pitted and etched the clear coat, the only two ways to make it look better would be a high speed buff with some cutting compound or a total repaint.
