Any tips on bug and road tar/gunk remover?

[Doubeleive]

If Goo-Gone makes you worry, try WD-40 or VM&P Naphtha. Both safe for paint.
FYI.... Naphtha is also lighter fluid.

wd40, I have seen goo gone eat some stuff, not necessary painted surface but plastic yes

Clay bar is what I've found works the best for getting road gunk and bugs off, especially the little yellow "rust" spots that are common on white vehicles, but you'll need some type of running water which depending on the temps where you're at might not be possible even with this heat wave here in WI. Then I'd wax it afterwards since the clay bar will also remove the previous wax if there was any previously on it.

You can also use instant detailer with your clay bar so you don’t have to worry about the freezing water.

During that dreaded bug season..... 3M makes a plastic scrub block specifically for bugs on paint.
Will not damage the paint, works like a charm !!

3-M products..... An auto paint supply store should sell them. It's about the size of a brick, and you take a slice of it, as you need. Works great !! ( I suppose it would be in the 'detailing' products? )

I've used Tarminator for years. It works great and won't harm clearcoat.

I'll be the odd one out because I just don't have goo gone at home, but I put some of this in my foam cannon with my regular car wash soap and I find it just helps make you use less effort to get all those black specks. I do have ceramic coating on my pretty Snow White already though so that also helps.
