Default Love Bugs

I have a 93 coupe, black, and the so-called love bugs have discolored my black hood. Can any of you suggest what to do short of re-painting? I would really appreciate it and thank you for your help now and in the past.

Get a quart of PPG grease and wax remover it will not hurt the paint . Model DX330 anything else is soap and water. This is the best look for it a PPG store
