I have been using Porsche Insect Remover based on a strong recommendation by the previous owner of my S2000. I am very pleased with it.

Look over the following site:

Good Luck.

I got "Bug and Tire" remover. I had this problem as well but another issue was with the rubber from my new tires.

The Bug and Tire remover is clear coat safe and I put it on the car before I wash it. Its easy to apply and can just be wiped clean with a cloth.

Its really cheap too at Walmart for like a dollar a can. I will have to check the manufacturers name when I get home.

Just use a clay bar to remove it, safe and it works everytime.

I'd go with a claybar too. It will do the trick.

Belive it or not, a much better way is to use WD40 - it works wonders removing bugs and tar - you'll be amazed. I think it's better then those bug removers.

Probably removes the wax as well, doesn't it?
