What cleaner before UV Clear?

While shooting my 2nd coat of clear today a spider dropped into the wet coat and became cured in the clear.
I let it sit for ~2hrs then hit it with some 1500 to get it out of there, then used the 710 Cleaner that I had to clean it up.
When I went to shoot my next coat of clear it did all sorts of weird things where I used the cleaner, extremely bad orange peel, puddles, ect.

I am thinking I should not have used the 710 cleaner, as it laid down perfect everywhere else.
What cleaner is recommended for use before this clear?
 
Other than using aerosol glass cleaner I can't think of anything else that would be gentle enough without leaving streaks or something.

I've used 710 on 2-3 hrs fresh clear and never seen any funny stuff happen, maybe it was just a fluke and you should try it again on something small.

Ill have to snap a picture when I head out there again, there is a very obvious stripe where I used the cleaner. It sat for ~10 minutes after I hit it with the cleaner and then cleared
 
710 evaporates really quick but to me it sounds like it was still there when you put on the next coat. The stripe is from the solvents in the 710 gassing off up through the clearcoat.
 
I wonder if contaminates from the spider itself have been pushed into the fresh clear during the sanding process.

Who knows what a well sanded spider would leave behind.

Interesting line of thought. I only have experience with well sanded bugs, they buff out pretty good lol.
