Let me guess, the car is from the southeast part of the US? From those pics it look like someone left love bug splatter residue on the front of the car and they are baked on. Do they feel like they are on top of the paint or down below? If down below your screwed, repaint. If their on top a good detail shop may be able to save you. Good luck. Better pics would help.

i have the same problem..its generally from dirt roads or rocks. but also it could be from bugs that have been on the car for a while. not sure how to make them go away other than repaint..then just keep it clean

I would start with clearcoat compound and if that doesn't work get more and more aggressive with white, then red compound and if need be, 2000 grit wetsanding paper until it is gone. Just be careful not to go through the clear!
