What I find to work the best is using a damp sponge and a liquid wax (Fast Wax by Presta) take the bugs right off and leaves it clean and beads up in the rain. Note: paste wax in a can will not work it might but I wouldnt try it.

Re: cleaning plastic winsheild
I've always found that once the bugs have dried on, grab a towel and soak it, drape the towel over your windscreen and let it soften all the bugs up. After about 10 - 15 minutes you'll be able to wipe the soft bugs right off with no damage at all to your screen and no chemicals required. It'll work for all those who have "treated" their screens as well.

Re: cleaning plastic winsheild
I wouldn't use it on the windshield. Shouldn't require it anyway, it there are bugs on it, soak a towel in warm water and wring it out and put it over the shield for about 10 minutes. They come right off , then a coat of Pledge keeps them from sticking in the future.

Re: cleaning plastic winsheild
Seems like pledge is the ticket, although I have had good luck with plexus.
