lazy cleaning

I have a clear bra and opti-coat on my car and use ONR with two buckets cleaning method. I'm not too meticulous when it comes to detailing my car, but there I noticed a bunch of bug remains, tree sap, droppings, etc... basically all types of residue that doesn't come off with a simple wash.

What's the easiest one step trick to get the majority of these things off? Would that be a clay bar?

Tarminator. Can be found at Autozone.

Or you could use ONR at quick detailer strength. Spray at the spot, soak a napkin, and place it over the crud. Leave it for a few minutes and it should come off a lot easier.

ive also seen people soak a microfiber towel in the soap mixture and place it over a problem area while they clean the rest of the car. When they get back to it, the suspect area has been dissolved or the cleaner has broken it down enough to remove easily.

In the future blast it with the hose as soon as you see those things or have a spray bottle of ONR and spot clean.
