Best Value

$0.94/oz

A high-pH gel formulation designed for dissolving protein-based insect remains and stubborn organic contamination on automotive surfaces.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

11.8

Active Mechanism

alkaline saponification

Surfactants

4 (nonionic, cationic)

Expert Analysis

Uses sodium metasilicate at pH 11.8 to break down proteins and enzymes in insect remains through alkaline hydrolysis. The gel consistency provides extended dwell time for better penetration and dissolution of dried contaminants compared to spray formulations.

Key Differentiators

  • Gel formulation extends contact time for better dissolution of dried insect proteins
  • High alkalinity (pH 11.8) specifically targets protein breakdown in bug remains

Potential Concerns

  • Strong alkalinity requires careful handling and thorough rinsing to prevent surface damage
  • 'Danger' signal word indicates significant safety precautions needed during use
