Try washing it. 3M makes a bug and tar remover, wax won't do jack.

Default Are you saying the paint itself is ruined?

or just that the bugs left marks?

Bug remnants are annoying but not that hard to get rid of, just don't escalate right to the nuclear-strength products. Try a little bit of your carwash full-strength directly on the bug, and rub gently. Then try it again if it didn't work. Take your time and go gently.

Failing that, move up to diluted Simple Green or dishwashing liquid, but then you have to rewax.

Yeah the 3M B.T.W. remover is great. It also softens up those annoying dealership decals too
