Expert Analysis

This is a highly alkaline bug remover that relies on sodium hydroxide and disodium metasilicate to create a high pH environment (11-13) that saponifies organic bug residues and breaks down protein-based contamination. The ethoxylated alcohol provides surfactant action for improved wetting and cleaning.

Key Differentiators

  • •Very high pH formulation
  • •EDTA chelation for enhanced cleaning
  • •Simple alkaline chemistry approach

Potential Concerns

  • ⚠Highly corrosive - requires protective equipment
  • ⚠May damage sensitive surfaces
  • ⚠Strong alkalinity can harm paint if left on too long
