Now that summer is here (kind of), any suggestions for removing bug splatter?

Wash them off. If you've left them on for any period of time the damage has already been done. At that point soaking and rubbing is about all you can do.

+1. Wash it off immediately, would be easier to clean. If left on, I use cotton and rubbing alchohol before washing them off.

I always have a disposable alcohol pads in my car.
It's nice for removing IMO bugs splatter on my cars finish as well the windshield. Why? Because it really breaks down the protein of the bug when baked on the sun

I wouldn't advise on using disposable alcohol pads and rubbing them on your paint to remove bugs...you'll end up putting swirl marks in your paint.

I like to use Stoner Tarminator to remove bugs. You can find it at any local auto store or Walmart/Target. You'll have to re-wax or re-seal the area you used it on it, but trust me, you spray it on and let it soak for a bit and the bugs will come off in one clean swipe of a microfiber.

I have never owned a car that collected this many bugs on the front as the F10. I leave a car wash and 5 mins later i have another 20 bugs sticking to it.

Autoglym Fastglass is good at removing bugs off any part of the car, but you will need to re-wax afterwards.

They like the F10 more than other cars!
