    • Simple to use. Easy to apply and simple to rinse!
Love this stuff! .. No more applying a cleaner to a cars' surface and then having to wait to uncover and evaluate the outcome. It has a very pleasant smell and works in s jiffy. Spray and rinse. It doesn't take more than a few seconds to let it sit. Then, poof,. It's clean. It's very. nice quality. If you don't want to spend a perfect summer detailing your car,. This is the best little cleaner I've used. It several times and I'm more surprised each time with the simplicity of applications. ... show more

    • Dilute 6 to 1
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Product works surprisingly well! Diluted 6 to 1 per manufacturers instructions in a spray bottle (maybe a bit more) ... bug goo, baked on for a week in 90 degree weather, wiped clean with one pass.

    • Very Good Bug Remover
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This bug remover is very effective. I had hoped that it would work with a single application, but it took two the three scrubs to clean the bugs from the car after a road trip. This is far better that other bug and tar removers I've tried. Be sure to read the directions because this is a concentrate mixed in different ways based on how you will use it. I mixed up about a half quart in a spray bottle, then did spot application with a soft-scrub sponge and micro-fiber cleaning cloth. It does NO harm to the paint, and is easy to rinse off. ... show more

    • Gets the bugs off!
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We drove cross country and bugs on the windshield are a big problem and they don't budge with the scrubber at the gas station. I mixed up this bug remover in a spray bottle and took it with us. Worked amazing! I got the windshield wet first, sprayed it, scrubbed it with the wand rinsed with my squirters on my car then squeegeed. ... show more

    • Ehhh, It’s OK
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Tbh, the product isn’t the absolute best out there for bug and tar removal on vehicles. I tried to use this on a car with thick tar near the wheels from it being slushed up onto the paint… needless to say, it didn’t take majority of it off even with it sitting on there for about a minute or so.

    • Worked well
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Worked like a charm getting sap off the car. A few minutes to soak onto surface and came right off

    • Great for Bug removal.
Style: SOAP Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really works. I use it for primarily bug removal for the front of my vehicle and it does a great job. Occasionally I do get tree sap on the car, and it does a great job with that also. If you care about how your vehicle looks this is a must have product. Has a fresh citrus smell to it.
