I don't recall who it was, but it was someone on this group who told me
the easiest method to remove bugs.
You need a sprayer containing water, and a can of coke.
Spray all the leading edges with the water.
Sit down and drink the coke.
Wipe the leading edges.
No fancy product needed - it's all about rehydration.

the windshield needed cleaning. Now, we wipe down the leading edges and
the windscreen on the Arrow every flight. Ah yes, the glories of
owning. Today I was out for some pattern work and went through a few
small showers. Got back and wow, how easy it was to wipe off the bugs.

I would add, drink the coke, re-wet in shade, take a walk, re-wet, vacumn
the interior, etc.

The longer you keep it wet, the easier it comes off. 1 hour or more works
best.
