Going Buggy with Removing Bugs

I've got my 911 on my lift for cleaning and detailing (makes things convenient) after a recent 20-plus hour road trip. I've finished tackling the wheel wells -- not as a result of the trip -- just something I've needed to do.

Anyway, I'm now trying to remove the residue of hours and hours worth of bug spattering on the front valence and bumper. These are mostly smallish, gnattish looking things. I've got the exoskeletons removed, but I'm left with these tiny spots of remains that are very level with the paint. I've tried detail spray and diluted simple green but it's very difficult to remove these remains. Wax doesn't do much either. I can, however, drag a fingernail and scrape them off.

The best success I've had is with my Adam's clay bar and detail spray (worked great on the foglight lenses), but it's super slow because I'm talking about 500 or more of these bug remains.

Should I look into a commercial tar and bug remover? Are they quick and effective? Is there an easier way to get these remains gone? Thanks.
