What do you guys do to get the bugs off the front of the car? What is a good product for this?

dryer sheet.. soak the area with the bugs.. use a dryer sheet to scrub em off.. It works pretty well. Then immediately wash after you are finished with your normal car soap and rinse.

Turtle Wax makes a product called Bug-Off. Removes bugs and Tar. Works really good.

A good and cheap way is to get a spray bottle, use distilled water and add a 4:1 ratio of car wash soap. Soak the buggers down and blot them off. Do not wipe bugs, they are abrasive and will scratch!!

For stubborn ones, lay a soaked cotton towel on them and let the wetness soak into them for a bit.

Second the Bug 'n Tar. I keep a bottle in the trunk to get the victims off while they're fresh kills. If you wait too long, they seem to become a permanent fixture on your bumper cover.
