    I agree I bought some turtle wax crap and it really doesn't do anything special to the bugs, it helps softnen them up a little bit but anything would. An earlier poster said vinegar would dissolve the urethane, maybe lab grade acetic acid will but a 2 or 3% vinegar/water mixture did wonders with the water spots on my hood. I may try it on the bugs next but a crusty old bug and a water spot is two different things. The best thing for the bugs is to keep em wet for a while vinegar would evaporate to quicky.
