Removing bugs from front cap

So far the best method I have found is to wet the front cap for ~10min to soften them up, then take a wash mitt with a fabric mesh backing, add some soap and they come off fairly easy. Have tried all kinds of recommended cleaners but keep going back to the mesh wash mitt and soap as I find it the easiest. Anyone else use this method and skip all the fancy/$$ cleaners?

Of course keeping a coat of wax on the front cap helps with bug removal. Many of the cleaners I have seen recommended strip any wax off which is another reason I don't like to use them.
