Default Easy bug removal??

Does anyone know an easy way to clean the smashed bugs off the front of my box?
I tried Turtlewax's Bug & Tar. That doesn't hardly cut it. Plus it gets into cracks and under the headlamps leaving a white scum that I can't reach to get out. :?

The key is to let them soak by placing dripping wet towels over the bug area for about 15 mins. then after removal of them use Pledge furniture polish on the leading areas to make future removal easier. Try it it works, I also do this to my motorcycle windshield.

I use McGuire's Deep Crystal System polish. It's clearcoat safe, gets all the bugs, sap and who-knows-what off the car. I just used it today prior to waxing for the first time. Keeping the car waxed makes it easier to get the crap off too. (It's either that or the thick protective layer of dirt method.)
