Any bug removers that don't need to be washed off?

Down here on the Gulf Coast we have a LOT of bugs. So much so that in the summer you have to remove them several times per week from the front of your vehicle. Well I don't have time to fully wash my cars several times per week. I also don't think it would be good to take my hose to rinse off the bug remover and leave water spots.

Is there a bug remover that is lsp friendly that doesn't require being washed off?
 
I use Meguiar's D114 @1:128
dilution ratio...along with waffle
weave microfiber towels.

It's quite the LSP-friendly process.

Meguiars D114. It would probably get most of what's on there off. Get the rest with bug cleaner - then a final wipe.

If you're going to bring out one product, it's really not that different to bring out two or three. Speed comes with having a good system. With bugs that bad, I would have a dedicated bug box/small bucket in an easy to access location. Bug Squash 3:1, P21s Total Auto Cleaner 10-20:1, D114 128-256:1 in a lidded, big mouth container, microfiber towels. Use what's appropriate for each situation. Like I said, it's not having just one product that will make you faster (Though that would be nice. But I don't think you will find anything that will cover all degrees of attachment), it's your system.
 
Up here in NJ....we do not have the insane bug issues you guys have down there, but we do get them. I live in a very rural area, so night driving usually means you got some bug juice to deal with. When I wash our vehicles, I apply a sealant (Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax) to the front ends. It does not keep them from sticking, but they come off easier. Typically, with some Kenotek anti-insect, a little dwell time, they rinse right off without impacting the sealant significantly. I re-apply the sealant every fourth wash or so.
 
It looks like Meguiars D114 is a rinseless wash. I have Optimum No Rinse. I'm assuming it's the same thing.

Sounds like the recommendation is to try the no rinse, and if a more powerful bug remover is needed then follow that with the no rinse. Does that sound about right?
 
No rinse or a good detail spray if they are not super caked on with a microfiber.
