The boner towel is really good at removing bugs and crap with just water

I use one pretty frequently. Just use my soapy wash water while I am washing the bike. Does a nice job of getting off the stuck on crap that doesn't wash off easily.
Just be careful you don't get any kind of grit stuck to it, that would do a number to the paint.
