The best bug cleaner I've found is water...just plain old water.

Yup, spray it on the plane and work all the way across the leading edges,
go back to the start with a damp rag and start scrubbing. It comes off
fairly easy if done that way, the water has a chance to soften up the bugs
during the wait and it's pretty good. Now it doesn't do a thing for oil
however.

We still like and use Lemon Pledge for the post-flight de-bugging. They
just wipe off, and it leaves the surface a little waxy so that they wipe off
easier in the future.

I'm sure not using Super Clean anywhere near my prop again. It works great
on wheel pants and other fiberglass, though...

Scrub? I use Bugs Be Gone. Spray on, wipe off. You don't even press hard.
