Two solutions I've found:
3m automotive film - can be applied yourself with time and labor as a kit..some companies sell matched to you car..and include bumpers, hood and mirrors. (PM me if you want an Internet company which specializes in made to fit kits). Then, no damage to your paint. You can have auto detail companies install as well. I did mine myself, but it take time and patience but works well against stone chips, for which it is designed.
Second alternative is a good counter cleaner that has silicon properties like Magic (brand) Countertop Cleaner. I bought mine at ACE Hardware or Home Depot. I spray headlights, bumpers, grill, fog lights and mirrors and while bugs still accumulate, they seem easier to clean off with a bug scrubber sponge at the same time you use mild soapy car soap and water to clean off spray and bugs-the downside. I never use the automotive bug cleaner sprays -- after they seemed to dull paint. Newer formulations may safeguard against that today, but past experience is what I still go by.
All part of the cost of living in Paradise.
