Expert Analysis
This alkaline bug remover uses a high pH (10.4) approach to saponify and break down insect residues, proteins, and road grime through chemical degradation. The ethanolamine provides both pH buffering and cleaning activity, while the amphoteric surfactant offers gentle cleaning and foaming properties.
Key Differentiators
- •High pH alkaline approach
- •Single amphoteric surfactant system
- •Professional-grade formulation
Potential Concerns
- ⚠High alkalinity may damage sensitive surfaces
- ⚠Skin and eye irritation potential
