Best Bug 'n' Tar options: Citrol, Mckees, Tarminator, etc?

In terms of removing the most stubborn stuff the easiest, without destroying your paint, trim, etc., what's the best option and why? Citrol? Tarminator? McKees 37?

For bug splatter I would first try an ammonia based cleaner such as Windex. Spray, let soak briefly and wipe. Works for bird droppings too. For true road tar I use Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover. Shake well and apply a small amount to a clean cloth. Gently rub the cloth with the remover in a circular motion over a small area and the tar will dissolve leaving a clean surface. Let dry, then wipe with a damp cloth to remove any dried residue. Apply wax to the cleaned area if desired.

I’ve had good luck with gasoline and matches, but some are pretty stubborn.

We, uh, we talkin' bout setting light to our cars?

I'd vote for applying a ceramic coating to your paint to prevent the bugs from sticking in the first place. I get a fair amount of dead bugs on my front bumper during summer months, and they wash right off. DIY ceramic coating applied was Avalon King product.
