3M makes a good bug and tar remover, but it's strong stuff. I'm thinking
your year old paint is cured by now but I'd avoid using it on something
that was only a month or two.

It evaporates fast so you can only use it in a small area at a time.

Simple Green is very effective in removing gunk, but it don't always get
everything.

Don't forget that most things that get the gunk off are stripping the
protective wax layer as well. Spot some good carnuba wax after a degunk
job.
