I just spent about 10 min. rubbing out all the bug guts on mine too. Turtle wax makes a "Bug & Tar" remover that is clear coat safe.

get a bug and tar sponge and then give it a good wax after to make future bug guts easier to remove

I got cheap bug remover and it doesn't work at all, so now I just use goo gone. I guess it works ok... still takes a lot of scrubbing.

Spray Nine works better than anything I have ever used... you can get it at Walmart here and a couple other stores that I am not sure if you guys have in the states.

I just take mine to the car wash, and they come right off...light scrubbing with the brush and then the soap spray and rinse. I know what you mean though....they show up something terrible on the yellow.

Clay bar took all mine off. Then I done the 3 stage wax from Meguiars and it is easy to clean now. I spent about 4 hours on it that day but it has paid off.

Think of all those poor bugs. Someone should tell them to get out the way. big, heavy, fast moving object = splat

Mean Green is awesome, but do you think it would be too strong for the clearcoat?
