I really like the pledge idea. To get them off, I used to spray the front of the car with simple green, let it soak for a few minutes and they washed right off.
Juliano's have a nice screen, easy to clip on, clip off for those longer trips. They advertise for a 32, but will make for an A as well. I have an expanded metal insert as well, but it is still a bug collector. Warren
I have a phobia about silicon or anything similar in the shop, down to and including tire shine. I've had bad experiences with paint jobs contaminated with what I think was some sort of slick shine. I'm sure there are plenty of safe alternatives now, but it's soap, water and maybe a little extra paste wax on the painted parts.
Put a bug screen on it. If you want to be "traditional", print: Move Over on it, in reversed letters.
That looks professional! Not the soapy water we have at our gas stations now. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
50/50 mix of peroxide and water for cleaning bugs off. Use pledge on plastic interior pieces after cleaning. It keeps the dust off just like your wood end table.

After a few years of fighting bugs on my Model A, I inserted some plastic house window screen between the grill shell and the radiator. It is very easy to hose off with the hose at an angle to the screen.
