soak a towel with really hot water and let it rest on the car for an hour.

You can try Nu-Finish, but it's abrasive.

If you are just referring to yellowish stains on the clear bra material after all bug bits have been removed, they will fade and vanish on their own with exposure to sunlight over the course of a week or two.

Spray bugs with 100% undiluted Simple Green. Let sit, then wash car as usual. Or as mentioned after washing use a clay bar.

Easy way is get a damp cotton towel and spray some quick detailer like Meguiars and wipe. Stubborn bugs just repeat.
