I use a bucket of warm water and a micro fiber cloth, no soap. The micro fiber will remove bugs and any grime. Try it, you'll be surprised how well it cleans. Of course I don't drive the car through mud puddles, that would take more water and probably soap. I do one section at a time and dry it right away.

Clay bars work good but unless your car sits outside it probably won't need it. I've used one on my truck and other car. The truck sits outside all the time and gets full of tree sap and other dirt that bakes into the wax. The clay bat removed all the grime and makes waxing a lot easier.
