Bug and Tar are usually 2 different formulas.

Bugs need dissolving and tar needs a thinner.

Most people use a regular citrus degreaser type thing to remove bugs as part of a pre-wash.

Tar is a once or twice a year with a dedicated product type thing as they often remove any protective coating on the vehicle also.

Neat windscreen cleaner seems to work. (See also tree sap)

Tardis is excellent, used to use it when I was detailing as paid work. Was only available in big tins though from what I remember.
