My grill is a bug graveyard..

I have been reading through threads for the past hour and can't get a hit on what is the best way to get bugs off of my paint and chrome on the front of my truck. I have some of that bug and tar remover but i worry that it is going to screw with my paint and the XE plastic bumper that I have. Any advice?

I just use a super wet towel or cloth....the dried bugs will eventually get moist again and wipe right off.....

The bug and tar remover will work fine. Hose down the front of the truck with it, let it sit for a minute or two, wash your truck, look at your bug-free front end! To help keep the bugs from sticking so bad to the grill, give it a good wax job. It will also help in removing any bugs that do get stuck on it.

Hose down the front of the truck then wipe off all the bugs with a dryer sheet. Just trust me!

If this is true then you are gonna save me a good chunk o change on detailing supplies. Customers might look at me funny when I bust out the morning fresh Bounce though!

I really hate them things. The front where you usually put the bug shield on is damaged slightly by them damn things. But i know my dealer put on something that helps prevent this. Just ask them.
