Default cleaning off bugs...

I drive about 80 miles a day and my front bumper, hood, and window has mad bug stains some are so hard I can even take off. Whats the best thing to use to take off the gunk and have it shining like new again?

Most auto stores sell a special bug and tar remover that will get that stuff off. WD-40 works pretty well too...but just a warning, both of them take off any wax you have on the car

I used kerosene and a sock on my EP...no problems there. Just use Goo-gone if you're too worried.

I'm serious dude! My EP was white. You could use a microfiber towel, but anything cotton should do the job.
