Splat Splat Splat !

... they go all over the windscreen, bonnet, grills - splattered insects. On a long journey I get hundreds. 
The windscreen and grills are easy to clear - but sometimes the little buggers weld themselves to the bodywork or the headlamps so tightly you just cant get them off.
What are you guys using ? Just soaking, wax and elbow grease - or is there some secret cleaning technique that everyone except me knows ?
Cheers,

Just got a sponge from alfords £2 looks like it wrapped in a fishnet stocking i'll try it later.
Failing that its the bug remover wipes etc but that strips the wax of the car and rewaxing will be required after:

pies said:I've got one of these and I'd definitely recommend it. Works really well on glass and paintwork. So far I've not found any dead things it won't shift, but it's not abrasive at all on the paintwork. Perfect!

best thing ive found, is just dampen the bug infested area .. put a damp kitchen towl over the bugs, leave for 10 minutes... bingo, they just wipe off without any paintwork rubbing. Having a good wax/polish on the paintwork also helps the bugs to slide off, i kid you not!

I'm to chicken :scared: I won't know my buffing thing from my chamois wotsit - and then they'll form a big online circle and laugh and point and make jokes I don't understand the vocabulary too.
Me ? I'm running like a gazelle !
