Re: Whats your favorite Bug and Tar removal products
Well, like anything else, it really all depends on the severity. For most minor splatters, Stoners Tarminator is a top choice. And its available locally. I've never had a situation where it couldn't handle the job.
I have some old Turtle Wax tar remover (can't recall the bottle name) that has worked well for me too when I need more dwell time.
My recommendation is that you go pick up Stoners Tarminator right now from your local auto parts store (Harbor Freight carries it too) and try it for yourself. Then you'll know if you need to try anything else that you have to buy and have shipped to you.
Oh, and it removes asphalt sealcoating splatter from vinyl siding and aluminum gutters. In case you hire a sloppy company who is careless when they sealcoat.

Re: Whats your favorite Bug and Tar removal products
Can't comment on an All-in-one solution as OP appears to be looking for. For tar I like Carpro's TarX (but I'm admittedly a Carpro fan so ymmv) and for bugs I use P&S Bugoff. I'll probably be using the latter for the rest of my life as, for reasons I don't recall, I bought a 128 oz bottle (I'm just an enthusiast, not a detailer)! Good thing it works well, LOL.

For me it's Stoner's Tarminator for tar and random, black road construction goo and Poorboy's World Bug Squash for bugs.

You guys get all "Trans-ylvaina" down there?!?
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

The Duragloss product works well, and the P&S product works great too.

Re: Whats your favorite Bug and Tar removal products
I despise removing tar and bug deposits, so when I grab a product for this, I want it to work! As such, an combination bug & tar remover is always going to be a compromise.
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.
