Summary
Start by washing the dirt off the car with a spray of water. Don't rub it at this point as you may scratch the paint finish, you only want to flush off the loose dirt. One of the tricks I use to help remove the bugs is to lay an old flannel sheet over the front of the vehicle and soak it with water. The flannel sheet holds the water on the surface, softening the deposits on the vehicle so they come off easier. Next, apply some bug and tar remover to the front of the vehicle. Let it soak for a few minutes and then rub it gently with a sponge. Soap (specifically for washing vehicles) and water are applied next and rubbed with a clean sponge -- I prefer a car wash mitt as it is easier to use. Finally, rinse the vehicle with clean water and inspect the vehicle for remaining dirt and contaminants -- you will likely still find a few dirty spots, so repeat the cleaning procedure on those spots.
