Wash it as soon as you can!! Bugs get tougher to get off when you leave them on longer.
Canned Bug & Tar remover is a solvent, like kerosene, and doesn't work all that well once the bugs are dried on. After on of my worst bug trips I used 409 (which is a soap based product -surfactant) and worked small areas. Then a good wash, polish, and wax. I am picky about my black car finish, and that worked fine by me. Scrubbing off tough dried bugs can scratch. Keep using new rags as they get old grime on them or you'll destroy the finish.
I tried B&T remover, and got poor results. And it was a hassle to wash afterwards because of the petroleum-based nature.
Don't know about Simple Green. Read the label to see if it's petro-based. If it is, I know I wouldn't use it.
