I use toilet paper to clean my bottom.

I can't see the pic but if it's a body panel, maybe a clay bar?

He...I just assume a he...maybe a she...that would be nice...

Anyways said they tried bug remover. Can you not read?

Check your auto parts place for a small sponge covered in a soft mesh. That is my best friend in removing all sorts of crap. The mesh on the outside of the sponge was rough enough to scrape some stuff off but if you keep it full of soapy water and use the bug spray it will not scratch.

Lubrication!

Yeah but what do you rub it off with?

Lotion? A sock?

Just thinking you have to be careful not to chafe.

I wiped my bottom with lighter fluid once. Next thing I knew I had to fart and a buddy had a lighter handy. Thanks homie.

Haven't had to shave my arse since.

If the bug and tar remover doesn't work, you can use dawn dishwashing liquid, but if you do, you'll need to re-wax that part of the car.

Don't make a habit of using dish soap on car paint though, it destroys it over time.
