I just use water and a car wash mit. If that doesn't work, they have bug and tar remover. But I use Meguiar's clear coat body scrub to get anything off paint.

I just used the Turtle Wax brand Bug/Tar/Sap remover in a black spray bottle (not the aerosol can one) on my wifes Saturn with 2 months of bug guts caked on. The stuff worked GREAT! It was able to loosen the bugs up enough to wipe off with ease. The really tough bug hits required a little bit of elbow grease, but it was about 60% of the usual effort.
By far the best bug/tar/sap stuff I've used yet!

Well, I just let the Tarminator sit a little while and let the bugs dissolve and they usually come right off. You guys need to learn how to use some elbow grease too.
This day and age too many people looking for the magical product that will spray on and rinse off and let you on your way with no work. haha
