An alkaline bug remover with fast-penetrating, solvent-free chemistry for gentle insect residue removal on paint, glass, chrome, and plastic surfaces.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
10.0
Active Mechanism
alkaline emulsification
Surfactants
2 (anionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses alkaline chemistry at pH 10-11 with anionic surfactants to break down protein-based insect residues without harsh solvents. The alkaline environment helps dissolve dried bug remains while the surfactant system provides penetration and lifting action. The solvent-free formulation reduces paint safety concerns compared to traditional solvent-based alternatives.
Key Differentiators
- •Solvent-free alkaline approach reduces paint compatibility concerns
- •Multi-surface safe formula works on paint, glass, chrome, and plastic
- •Fast-penetrating chemistry for efficient bug residue breakdown
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Alkaline pH may require thorough rinsing to prevent streaking on glass
- ⚠May need longer dwell time on heavily dried insect deposits compared to solvent-based products
