Try a clay bar or or some stuff called Goo Be Gone or Off,but a clay bar is the best and wont harm the finish.

they are not coming off, mine is like that. if they've been on there for a while the acid in the bug eats your paint and stays there.

When you get as many off as you can, the best thing is to keep your front end nicely waxed and it will be easier to clean next time. The same is true especially on the bottom sides too with getting tar off. When I detail other people's cars I have to use Tar remover, when I do mine, the tar just rubs off with a bug sponge. Keeping it all waxed up will cut your wash times down tremendously.

I can sympathize with you since I live in Fla. as well and deal with love bugs every season. If you mix up some baking soda & water and put it on the bugs, it will break them up. Since they are acidic, the baking soda kind of neutralizes it and they will come off easier. It's the same principle as the use of baking soda & water on your battery terminals when they get that acidy build up. I know it works really well on recently smashed bugs, but I have never tried it on ones that were very old.

My bumper is RUINED. Bugs are all over it. I have a dent Im getting fixed on te fender and my buddy thats doing it said he'd repaint my bumper too. But before you get anything repainted. Try wetsanding. But sometimes they are too deep for that to even work.
