50/50 watered down rubbing alcohol. Re-wax after you use this. Also, keep up the front bumper with a quick detailer every couple of days, it should help bugs from sticking.

I've heard you shouldn't use pressure washer on cars since it's typically too much pressure and hurts the paint/clearcoating. Maybe that's for the industrial pressure washers? Do they have car specific pressure washers where there isn't as much pressure?

My white bumper becomes brown, black, green, yellow, and red from all the bugs I encounter on a daily basis. Clay bar will help remove blood and guts. Just make sure to wax after.

That is, after thoroughly washing first.
