You might try auto detailing clay and the correct lubricant. Wax or paint sealant afterward.

If the stain is organic then bleach or hydrogen peroxide should remove the pigment. Try a paste of Comet cleaner and let it set. That may not remove the organic material but it should whiten the stain-it depends on the material.

This is what I was going to recommend. Talk about magic! Any auto parts store carries this stuff. I prefer Clay Magic, but have also used Maguiar's with excellent results, both on the vehicles and the RV.

Clay Magic makes nearly all of it for all the vendors. They just color it differently and put a different name on it.

First of all, thanks to everyone who made suggestions. Let me tell you where I stand:
1. I tried Simple Green full strength - no luck.
2. I tried "Bug Bust" from CampingWorld - no luck.
3. I tried "clay bar" - no luck.
Finally, I tried some Meguires "Fine Scratch and Swirl Remover" that I had sitting around. It eliminated most stains. Some of the stains remain but are faint and can only be seen up close.
The real answer is put a good wax on the front cap. If I had done this, I am sure I would not have had these problems.
Tomorrow I will be going to O'Reillys Auto Parts and buy the best wax I can. It might take a little effort putting it on but nothing compared to the effort getting rid of the stains.
Thanks again for your help.

The chemicals in splattered bugs will eat the wax. Use a high end sealant to get the best protection. www.autogeek.net has the best stuff and techs that will sell you what you need. Call them and see what they recommend.
