I can't believe that more of you have not tried Hydrogen peroxide, if you try it I bet that you will do it again.
&nbsp\\;I have done it once, and I know I will do it again.

Car wash soap in a bucket with water, wet towel, let it sit for a few minutes,
then they easily wipe of with a microfiber cloth or mitt.

I used a wet dryer sheet and the bugs wiped off surprisingly easy! Then a friend told me that the dryer sheets will make the clear coat spotty after awhile. I sure hope not because I was amazed at how well it worked. Can anyone else confirm this?
