Took some pictures of my insect problem on the Eclipse. I've tried everything (Pressure wash, bug/tar remover, vanilla moose, etc.) but nothing will take it out. It is an eyesore on an otherwise perfect car. I'm tempted to buy a car bra just to cover it up. Any advice on removing these bug splatters?

I would spray it with some Stoner's Invisible Glass. I find their Invisible Glass works better on bug than their Tarminator. Let it soak a while then wipe it off. If that does not work I recommend Poorboy's polish. Polish and a Porter Cable buffer should get it out.

Are those "deposits" still on the surface, or have they eaten into the clearcoat and are now below the surface?
Have a look at them with a magnifying glass or loupe. Can you feel them? Pick them off with your fingernail? If they're still above the surface you can remove. If not, you're prolly SOL.
I use a dedicated bug juice remover from Hi Temp; Porsche Tecquipment makes one too. But your car may need some polishing with something aggressive to remove the damage.
A regular bug & tar remover prolly won't touch them - that stuff is mostly mineral spirits which is fine for tar and grease but won't touch bugs.
