Default Dead gooey bugs!

How can I get rid of them on the paint surface? It seems some of are just stuck there and don't want to come up! I left a wet rag on them for a while to soak them well butt still I can see some film/residue? Do I need to use polisher or clay the area or is there some product? I have read somewhere that wd40 can remove tree sap and sticky stuff on the paint. Would that be a good choice?
Thanks

My buddy who owns a detal buisness uses royal blue wax. He says it is the best he found for tree sap and bugs. I myself have like 20 bug spots I need removed but haven't done anything about it.

Clay bar works good on bugs. A trick I used on my motorcycle is to soak them with peroxide. It seems to break down the protein in bugs and they will wipe off after a few minutes of soaking. Regular hydrogen proxide like you use on cuts is all you need.
