Eh you should search but i'll express my opinion.

1. Bug and Tar Remover or Goo Gone. Found at your local auto parts store, or probably even a grocery store.
2. I use Invisible Glass. Works good.
3. My friend uses RaggTop cleaner. I don't know where you get it, probably online. Works good too.

I wouldn't have picked at you for the no-search but I've seen this basic question answered a few times in recent weeks.

For road tar I use Ronsonol brand lighter fluid. It's used in Zippo lighters and instantly solvates tars, oils, glues and such. It's safe for paint and clear coats in my experience but test on a small sample area first. It comes in a 7" tall yellow bottle with blue writing. Make sure you use a good ammonia free detergent to clean it off or it'll leave a nasty oil smear that looks like azz.

Just keep a "bug rag" in the car and wipe off the remains daily. Then you wont have to do such hardcore cleaning when you do a detailed cleaning of the car.

and uh, what kinda rag should i get for daily wipe offs? Microfiber or a shop towl or what?

i used a blue shop rag, wet, and dont push too hard. put some water on the guts and good stuff first to loosen it up a bit. I know how the love bug juice is though, i like california, NO LOVE BUGS!!

Windex is very bad to use. Well if you don't have tinted windows you should be ok but otherwise NEVER use anything with ammonia to clean your windows.

Depends if you want swirl marks or not. If the car is your daily driver, then I wouldnt bother with daily wipe offs, just wash the car. Its just too easy to marr and swirl the paint. Now if its bird poop, then it should be wiped off ASAP, as it will etch into the clear coat if not removed. Go with a quality quick detailer and quality microfiber. You can find all of this at www.autogeek.net, or www.chemicalguys.com. Never use any on paint except for quality microfiber. And no, that doesnt include Walmart, Auto Zone, etc., microfiber.
