I've been doing this wrong
I have been using a bugger and water to get the majority of bugs off the bike and then using my cleaner wax and polish to finish it up, well that works but not as good as just a plain old micro fiber towel soaked in water and wrung out. I could not believe how much faster I could clean the bike. I follow it up with a dry micro fiber towel and it come out beautiful and I don't have to burn up my cleaner wax & Polish which cost money. I was impressed at how nice the matte silver bike came out. I never thought of using a wet micro fiber towel, and it doesn't have to be an expensive one, I just bought them from the local auto parts store and they are nothing special.
That the neat part of the Micro fiber

You don't need to wait, just wet a micro fiber towel and wring it out and wipe the bugs off the windshield and body parts. It is just quick and easy as they pretty much just wipe off. I follow behind it with a dry micro fiber towel and it dries nice and clean. I had forgotten my bike spirit clean wax and polish one day and a big nasty bug hit my clear section of my bagger shield. I was out in the middle of no where but I had water bottles with me and a micro fiber towel so I wetted the towel as a last resort but little did I know about how easy it was to clean with a wet micro fiber towel. I had driven about 20 miles with that bug splattered all over the clear windscreen. So I figure it would be hell to pay to get it off but the wet micro fiber towel just removed it in seconds. I was amazed at how easy it was.
