Bugs are made up of mostly protein, and water breaks down protein the best. I do the same thing with my car as I do with my bike windshield. Get yourself a spray bottle from the dollar store, fill it with water. Then spray copious amounts of water onto the place infected with bug splatters, wait 5 to 10 minutes, wipe with a nice soft cotton towell. And the bugs will come off effortlessly. I use Honda Polish (eeep...did I say Honda!) to take care of any dull spots. Easy as pie!!
Except for the picture above, he needs a high-pressure wash.

Mine has First Place Finish car care system that was dealer-applied.
Now, I am aware that a great number of people are against these dealer-applied coatings. However, nothing sticks to it very much at all.
When I wash the car, I start by wetting-down the whole car, starting with the front end. I wash the top, rear & sides first, keeping the front wet. By the time I get to the front, the hose alone removes just about all bug juice. What remains wipes off effortlessly. I mean, no pressure at all, it just wipes off.
I use this same sequence when I wash my other cars and there is a very big difference.
I was caught in a very nasty wind storm. Sand, sticks, pine cones, whatever - flying all over the place. It was real bad. I had to drive about 25 miles to get her safely into the garage. I just knew by that time, it had sustained damage. After washing it the next day, I found absolutely NO damage whatsoever. Go figure...
I think I am sold on this stuff.

First, I keep a good coat of wax on the front bumber and hood... usually, I apply wax once a week on these areas after washing my car (I wax the rest of my car twice a month)
Simply, I keep a spary bottle of distilled water in my trunk, along with a soft towel, diaper rag, non-ammonia window cleaner.
I just spray some water on the bugs, let it sit, and wipe it off. For bird crap, I just spray the crap with water, wipe it off and then spray some ammonia free window cleaner and wipe it off.
