I am looking for something that can be used to remove the bugs from the grill/bumper and windshield. I've had my car for less than 2 weeks and half of the face is bugs! Does anyone have any recommendations or things to avoid?

Is it a good or bad idea to use a sponge/soap/water on the body?

I'd also like to clean off the dirt, are there any particular products to look at?

The Professional Bug Sponge - a dual-sided scrubber and foam sponge in one. Use the textured side to release any debris from the paint surface and then flip the sponge to wipe away the loose debris. The Professional Bug Sponge has soft, honey-comb pores that are gentle on all automotive surfaces.

To remove - pre-soak heavy bug contamination with 1z einszett Anti-Insekt + Pre-Cleaner, which easily removes bug carcasses but doesn't remove wax / sealant paint protection. Soak a micro fibre towel and let it sit for 4-5 minutes (it can be held in place with detailer’s clay) before removing. Then use a (pre-soaked then wring damp) Professional Bug Sponge the open-cell construction 'grabs' foreign matter on your cars paint surface and safely removes it.

Then use an Optimum No Rinse (ONR) solution, 2oz per gallon / distilled water. It’s completely harmless to the paint or glass surfaces, a very efficient and safe way of removing harmful baked on bug debris due to its non-abrasive nature.

I don't understand "Soak a micro fibre towel and let it sit for 4-5 minutes (it can be held in place with detailer’s clay) before removing." Would you mind saying it another way for me?

Looks like these are the materials:

i'm thinking that they're telling you to soak the towel in the bug cleaner, then lay it on the area for 4-5 minutes to soak into the bug splat, then after 4-5 minutes remove it.

sounds like that anyway to me.

Maybe it means use the spray on the hood and such but with the insect stuff on the micro fiber cloth held with clay on the side?
