Re: Whats your favorite Bug and Tar removal products
Bug and Tar removers are by far the most frequent disappointments. At least that used to be the case. The one that I can count on, always, is Stoner Tarminator. As others have mentioned it is cheap and available at nearly every place that sells chemicals in aerosol cans. A can is $5 at Harbor Freight. I like to put the Tarminator on a microfiber and dab the spot. Once the spot is covered with product, I'll let it sit for a bit. Then I will wipe off with a moist towel with a rolling motion.

I just did the conversion from US to AUS dollars and in my area it's about $12 AUS. Not great, but still a bit cheaper. My can has been around for years. I'm pretty sure I bought it for quite a bit less pre-covid and pre-global inflation.
Funny how you get a bit of sticker shock when you go to replace something you've had for a long time. "I remember when I bought the last can it was only $.... Wait, that was how many years ago...?"

Re: Whats your favorite Bug and Tar removal products
Stoners Tarminator works great for tar, tree sap and bugs. For bugs only I like to use Poorboys Bug Squash. i spray the front of the vehicle with Griots Bug Shield and it makes the bug cleaning much easier.
I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

For tar, I keep coming back to TarX because its strong, but not so strong that you worry about it on the paint.
For Tarminator, it's a bit more aggressive and I certainly use it with caution, that and Koch Chemie Eulex. Tarminator can also be used to remove baked on exhaust carbon.
Going by the smell of the various bug removers I have used, I get the feeling they are a much of a muchness. That includes Poorboys Bug Squash, Koch Chemie Insect & Dirt Remover, Carpro BugOut, Gtechniq W8 and P&S Bug Off. Take your pick, they are all work the same in my opinion.
I'm looking for Stoner Tarminator, but can not find a place in AUS that sells those.
Any idea, thanks.
