Arrow Best bug remover?

It's hot summer now and everytime back from night highway trip, many bugs sticked to my front bumper (HID attracts them!)

I have read that Poorboy's World Bug Squash can remove such spots easily, but I worry if it will damage my car's clearcoat or paint. So anyone has used this product? any opinions? Or any other recommendations?

ps. here is the link for that product:

i had some tar and bugs on my car.. i used my friends turtle wax tar & bug remover. It works really well and it leaves a bit of a wax coat on your car..

I use it on all of my cars, and on all of the cars I detail. Stuff is amazing imo. Never had any damage to any portion of a vehicle. I hit all areas on the front bumper affected and the lower rocker panels too if theres any debris there. Spray it on, let it dwell, and most stuff will just blast away w/ a hose, but obviously best done w/ your wash mitt to ensure you get everything.
Actually, you can even put a (very) little bit in your washer resevoir tank to boost the washer fluid Dont add a lot though... an ounce at most will do.

16oz and 32oz available right here

I use the same product , works very well and the smooth surface left behind is good too.
