Turtle wax bug and tar removal spray. Spray, let sit for 30 seconds then repeat. should be good. Theres also something else to use but I forgot what it was. i used the turtle wax spray and it worked good. John

If you have a dollar tree or something along those lines around you there should be some stuff called Goo-gone it is very useful for all kinds of things i have used it to take sap off my vehicles just use a rag and rub it where the sap is.

If nothing chemical will remove it . Try a good clay bar and use soapy water in a spray bottle as a clay solution .
