Every time I go over the car this time of year I'm not getting all the flies that have welded themselves to the car. Wingmirrors and bumper look poop.
I'm using a basic shampoo, but do I need a better product and give them a good soaking? Any other tips? I'm going to buy some clay so I want to get the little fellas off before I do that.
Cheers.

you can buy bug and tar remover from halfords at a reasonable price, usually does the trick!
another option is to give the car a quick sponge whenever you get back from driving, catch em while they're still soft!!

You could also use a soft towel to remove them..... Dipped in hot soapy water.
Put it on the car and allow it to soak onto the dried up flies then wipe straight off.
Use a good quality wax once washed and cleaned, the bugs virtually fall off when hosing down on a pre wash.
^^what he said, i have never had a problem removing bugs as i keep my car waxed

Lambswool wash mitt with a fly remover (netting) on one side of it.
But like somebody already said, if its well waxed and you wash it regualarly they shouldnt be difficult to get off.
Duragloss 901 shamppo they fall off.
