I find all the insect removers take off all the polish.lucam3evo2 wrote:What can I use to remove the insects from the body?

Power wash the front and leave to soak, wash the rest of the car then go back and go over. You'll always need to wash and rinse it twice but thats the only way without removing wax/polish.

On of the things I've found that work really well on Chrome is Mothers chrome polish, it seems to take anything off. Another cleaner that works on bugs & tar is SuperClean, it's made by Castrol and is very effective, I usually spray it on, let it sit a moment, then give it a good scrub.
Here's a great hint for taking anything sticky off: They sell a product called battery cleaner at your local automotive store, this stuff will clean anything. I would recommend spot testing any of the above mentioned products before putting them right on in plain sight. After getting your bumpers nice & clean, make sure you polish (if a newer car) or wax (depending on finish) immediately following, this will make taking off those grimy guts much easier next time.

i use my jetwash to soak them and get most of them off then when i use the two bucket jobby give them a good scrub and they come off easy.

Just degreaser is really good..... If it is really stubborn mix the degreaser 50/50 with kerosene .... Nothing special but I bet it cleans everything off the really expensive stuff has trouble with.
