Not long ago, I posted the real secret to leading edge bug cleaning ---
soak time.

No matter what you use, and surely some formulations are better than
others, letting them soak (i.e. remain wet) for an hour or even hours
will make removal a breeze. Worried about paint? Use plain water.

Keeping a LE wet may require a hangar, cool day, rags or whatever but
soak time really saves the elbow grease.

Now if I can just get the turbine exhaust stains off my Maule....

It doesn't damage the paint? In the late srping around here we get moths out
the wazoo and I'l like to just spray the leading edges down to get the crap
off but I woory about the paint (as others have aluded to). I have a really
good paint job and don't want to ruin it.
