Expert Analysis
This alkaline-based bug remover utilizes sodium hydroxide as the primary active ingredient to break down protein-based bug residues through saponification and chemical dissolution. The high pH of 13 combined with nonionic surfactants creates an aggressive cleaning system that can penetrate and soften stubborn organic deposits, reducing the need for mechanical agitation.
Key Differentiators
- •Extremely high pH (13) for maximum bug dissolution power
- •Professional concentrate formula allows dilution flexibility from maintenance to heavy-duty applications
- •Minimal 5-ingredient formulation with excellent transparency
Potential Concerns
