I "wax" all of my vehicles and toys (2 motorcycles, 3 jet skis, 3 vehicles) with a product called Rejex. This is a great product for anything non porous, including the lexan windshield.

With this on the front of the bike and windshield, bugs and dust wipe right off.
For quick detailing I use Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer.

I've used MotoPro Spray Polish for years. It gives you that shiny wet look. Plus leaves a polymer coating to keep bugs and other crap from sticking to the clearcoat next time around. Spray it on, use your clean hand to just wipe it around a little, then use a micro-fiber cloth to wipe it off and then flip over the cloth on the dry side to bring out a showroom shine. Sometimes I will spray a little on the ends of my fingers and wipe it into intricate areas where I don't want a general spray pattern. You get the idea.
Works great on all surfaces: chrome, paint, plastic, helmet, visor, windshield, gauge faces, rubber, and mirror glass. One cleaner/polisher that does it all and does it well.
MotoPro Spray polish, not cheap at $7/can, but worth every penny. IMHO

I have already stated that I like Turtle Wax Ice but I should note that after a ride, with bugs on the shield, fairing, lowers, etc., I usually soak a soft towel or micro fiber cloth in hot water and set on the offended parts to soften the yuk and wipe off, drying with a clean micro fiber cloth. It keeps them from scratching from the rub.

Tried this and that but I always come back to Pledge. It's cheap, universally available and works great on all surfaces. If you haven't tried it you should.
I put it on with a diaper and buff with a microfiber towel. Don't spray the pledge on the bike...spray it on the diaper and apply it.

for you guys that have problems getting bugs off the bike, try peroxide in a spray bottle, let it set on a couple of minutes,and follow with detailer, or hose them off with a wash, it is easy, and CHEAP!
I have been using it for over 8 years, and have not had a problem at all with paint, or any other thing on the bike.
My brother didn't believe me , and when we went on a ride our bikes were caked with bugs, I squirted on some peroxide, and got the micro fiber, and detailer , that was it , he has been using it for at least 3 years now.
