Sno, I have a nylon scrubby that I use on my front bumper, headlights, and front window when I wash mine. I use the nylon as it won't scratch anything but gives you a little more scrubbing power. Should be able to pick one up pretty much anywhere, if they don't have it in automotive then grab one from the dish cleaning aisle at the grocery store or Walmart.

Here's a product you will love. It can be used on paint, glass, etc. Keep it moist and soapy for 5 minutes prior to use. Just keep it lubricated as you use it.

I am currently using a red one like the first pic, used to use the ones out of the kitchen supply aisle in the grocery store. Quick and easy!

I used a netted scrubbie from advance with soapy water. Been using it for years and worked great this past luv bug season which BYW sucked.

I just use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser wet with water on a cool windshield. You don't even have to push down very much and it really cleans the windshield up nicely.

Its a miracle worker, but make sure it DOES NOT get on plastic, I fucked up my tail light trim when removing my decklid emblem a couple weeks ago...

The honeycomb bug sponge is a lot nicer than a finger nail since you can also use it on your paint. It's better to have less stuff going through your mitt.

There is no reason why you need to be putting Good Off on your windshield to remove bugs..

Thanks for all the advice,I just hate it when I spend a few hours cleaning the car and then take it out for a little drive and then have to spend a few more hours to clean it again.Here it is after I cleaned it.

I use a dryer sheet. I saw it used at a car wash and could not believe how easy the love bugs come off. Wet the car and start washing.

I use elbow grease. Wash my car by hand only. Did it today in fact. I use Windex, paper towels and elbow grease. Works every time for me. For the occasional stubborn bug corpses a little soak time eases them up.

I was just about to say, a fabric softener pad dunked in soapy water is the best thing in the world for bugs! FTW

Just make sure to wash it down afterwards because a fragranced one will leave white smears
