Expert Analysis

Simple alkaline formulation using high pH to break down protein-based insect residues through saponification. The 2-butoxyethanol provides solvent action for sticky organic deposits while the alkylphenol ethoxylate surfactant aids in lifting and emulsification.

Key Differentiators

  • Multi-surface compatibility claimed for paint, chrome, and plastic
  • Ready-to-use convenience formula
  • 5-year shelf life when unopened

Potential Concerns

  • Very limited ingredient disclosure raises transparency questions
  • Alkylphenol ethoxylates are being phased out in some applications due to environmental concerns
  • High pH (10.5) may require careful handling around sensitive surfaces
