I might try that Goo-Gone stuff on it, because all it is, is like citrus oils and hopefully it will break it down and not mess up the paint at all..
On bugs, for some reason strong cleaners like Goo Gone don't really do much sometimes. I get better results by just spraying on some quick detail spray and letting it soak a little, then rub and wipe off. If they still won't come off then you need to work it with some polish, not wax. Polish cleans, and wax protects. You need a polish to clean off the bugs. By hand, it might take some good rubbing to get 'em off.

Once your bumper is clean apply a good polymer or acrylic wax to protect the front. Then when bugs splatter on the front they will be a lot easier to wipe off.
