my car's front bumper is INFESTED with bug guts from taking a road trip. Goo gone has always worked well for these things but this time there's just too much.. and goo gone isn't taking it off. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to take that gunk off? the front of my car looks like s*** now :cry:

I use that HD bug remover also, plus after I use it I go over the bumper with wax.

Goo gone is risky to use on automotive finishes anyway. You risk stripping your clear coat not to mention you're removing any layer of wax that is there. Keep the front nicely waxed and you'll have an easier time in the future.
