About this product
Insect residue is acidic and etches clear coat if it bakes on for a season; tar picked up from fresh asphalt bonds hard and will not come off with shampoo. This is a targeted pre-wash step, sprayed only where it is needed — leading edge of the bonnet, mirrors, front bumper, lower rear quarters. It works by dwell, not by pressure. Spray, wait, rinse. If a spot survives, spray it again rather than scrubbing harder.
