After a lot of testing of a lot of bug-tar remover products...I found that laying an absorbent material over the Pod and keeping it wet with a garden hose for a couple of hours will usually soften the 'bug juice' enough so that the bug-tar liquid will finally lift the spots off.  I set up a lawn sprinkler to gently spray an old bed sheet laid on the Pod.

Well after days of rain,,the RPod was thoroughly soaked. I went out armed with my newly purchased bottle of Soft Scrub and HOORAY! the Soft Scrub worked! Yes it still took elbow grease, but nowhere near as much as before. Instead of spending four hours on one side,m I did the whole RPod in under an hour! The only thing the soap would not take care of was the pine pitch that we got on the RPod during the NE Roundup. So tomorrow I figure out what solvent will work on that. Then I plan on waxing the RPod so well that flies will just slide off it! Take that, you regurgitating flies! Thank you for all your suggestions. I will be sure to cover up the rPod during the early cool fall when flies are looking for a warm sunny surface.
