This may not be right but it works for me.

After traveling all day I always check my front cap for bugs. I keep a bug remover brush with an built in extension. The kind like you use for winshields. I fill up a bucket with plain water and use the brush to remove the bugs. I have found that if you leave these bugs on the cap without regular cleaning at the end of each road day they will act like acid on the cap. It does not take over 10 minutes so I do this as part of my setup process. It also prevents using harsh cleaners.

Several times a year I wax the front cap which also helps. In short get the bugs off ASAP. The longer you wait the harder they are to get off.
