    The best I have found is the 1Z Einszett Insekt product. It works great on its own (spray, wash mitt, rinse and dry) or before a wash help removing the bugs without scratching the paint. The only drawback is that you use quite a bit of it and the bottle is small (I think I can get 6 uses out of 1 bottle), so that makes it somewhat expensive.

    The Pinnacle Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad is awesome! I don't know how it does not shred paint, but it dosen't.When we first got one in at our shop we tested it on our vehicles, 07 Caddy (black) 08 Santa Fe (slate blue), 06 Tundra (red) 04 Jeep (blue) and a 07 Civic (blue) It worked great on all the vehicles, no maring of the paint whatsoever.We have quit pretreating bugs with anything, just foam the car and scrub the bugs. We use it on all client vehicles now. Never had a problem on any paint.

    I've used the Pinnacle Bug and Tar pad and it's lovely. I've also used PoorBoys World Bug Squash and found it quite good. I sold a lot of it last year to co-workers. The best product I've found is the Surf City Garage Road Trip and Grime Destroyer. Hand's down the best spray on solution for dealing with tough stuff I have ever seen or used.

    I have literally sprayed it on and watched the bugs slide down off the paint before I could get my mitt or MF towel to it. Simply unreal how well it works.

    I do not work for the company, I am just a VERY satisfied customer, and I now buy the stuff by the 2 liter. I wish it came in gallons.

    I just ordered an intriguing product called Bug Slide. It is a polymer based product that claims to remove bugs and leave protection. If it works,I might retire my Bug Squash. I bought the Pinnacle pads this winter, but havent needed them yet in Upstate SC yet.

    I have used bug slide, but I feel as though the bug squash is far superior after having used both. I may have to try out the surf city grime destoyer when I run out of bug squash though.
