The Bug Invasion: Why a Bug Cleaner is Your New Best Friend
The Bug Invasion: Why a Bug Cleaner is Your New Best Friend:
The UK is currently experiencing something of a bug bonanza. From pesky flies to stubborn gnats, our cars are bearing the brunt of this airborne invasion. Not only is it an eyesore, but those tiny corpses can wreak havoc on your paintwork if not dealt with properly.
But fear not, fellow motorist! There's a simple solution to this sticky problem: a dedicated bug cleaner. And when it comes to getting the job done effectively and safely, Gold Label Car Care's range of Bug Cleaners are a top contender.
So, why should you add a bug cleaner to your car care arsenal, especially during this bug-heavy season? Let's dive into the advantages:
1. Superior Cleaning Power:
While a general car wash might get rid of some surface dirt, those stubborn bug remains are a different story. Bug splatters contain acidic compounds that can etch into your paintwork over time, leading to dullness and even permanent damage. Dedicated bug cleaners, like Fireball Bug Cleaner, CarPro Bug Out and Soft99 Pitch are specifically formulated to break down these organic residues.
Fireball Bug Cleaner:
Fireball Bug Cleaner is a powerful yet safe pre-wash treatment specifically formulated to dissolve and lift stubborn insect remains, bird droppings, and other organic road grime from your vehicle's exterior. Its advanced formula works quickly to break down these tough deposits, making them easy to rinse away and preventing potential damage to your paintwork.
CarPro Bug Out:
CarPro Bug Out safely and easily removes smashed and waded bug remains while softening hard chitin shells for safe removal. BugOut was developed to be safe on a wide variety of surfaces including paint, clear coat, PPF, glass, plastic, metals and more. It quickly melts the dried remains in front of your eyes allowing them to be easily wiped and/or rinsed off.
Soft99 Pitch:
New Pitch Cleaner is Soft99's recommended spray cleaner for all tough contaminations you may find on a car's body. Asphalt or tar dots, tree sap, bug splatter? Simply spray New Pitch Cleaner on stubborn stains and observe how quickly it dissolves all kinds of dirt.
2. Protecting Your Paintwork:
This is arguably the most crucial advantage. Trying to scrub off dried bug splatters with just soap and water is a recipe for disaster. You'll likely end up scratching your paint, creating swirl marks and dulling the finish.
Bug Cleaner works by softening and dissolving the bug residues, making them easy to rinse away. This significantly reduces the need for aggressive scrubbing, minimising the risk of scratching and preserving the integrity of your paintwork. Think of it as a gentle yet powerful pre-treatment for your car wash.
3. Versatility and Ease of Use:
Using a bug cleaner is also incredibly straightforward. With Bug Cleaner, you typically just spray it onto the affected area, allow it to dwell for a short period, letting the formula work its magic, and then rinse thoroughly. This simple process makes tackling those bug splatters a quick and painless task.
4. Saving Time and Effort:
Imagine spending ages trying to scrub off dried bug guts with a sponge. It's frustrating, time-consuming, and likely to leave streaks. Using a dedicated bug cleaner drastically cuts down on the time and effort required. The formula does the heavy lifting for you, making bug removal a much more efficient process.
Safely Removing Those Pesky Bugs with Bug Cleaner:
Now that you understand the benefits, let's talk about how to use Bug Cleaner to safely remove those bug invaders from your car:
- Choose the Right Time: Ideally, tackle bug splatters as soon as possible. The longer they sit, the harder they are to remove and the more likely they are to cause damage. Avoid cleaning in direct sunlight or when the surface is hot, as this can cause the product to dry too quickly.
- Rinse First (Optional but Recommended): A quick rinse with a pre wash can help remove any loose debris and cool down the surface. We recommend hamblechem H104 Citrus Pre Wash.
- Spray Liberally: Spray your chosen Bug Cleaner directly onto the bug-splattered areas. Ensure good coverage, especially on stubborn or dried-on residues.
- Allow to Dwell: Let the product sit on the surface for a short period, usually a few minutes. This allows the formula to break down and soften the bug remains. Check the product instructions for the recommended dwell time.
- Agitate (If Necessary): For particularly stubborn bug guts, you might need to gently agitate the area with a soft microfiber wash mitt or sponge. Remember to be gentle and avoid excessive pressure. Think about investing in a Bug Sponge, we recommend Gold Label's Bug Sponge.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the treated area thoroughly with clean water. Make sure all the product and loosened bug residues are completely washed away.
- Follow with a Car Wash: For best results, follow up with a regular car wash using a quality car shampoo. This will ensure your car is completely clean and ready for drying.
- Dry Carefully: Dry your car using a clean, soft microfiber drying towel to prevent water spots.
In Conclusion:
With the current bug epidemic in the UK, a dedicated bug cleaner is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for keeping your car looking its best and protecting its paintwork. Gold Label Car Care's range of Bug Cleaners offers a powerful yet safe solution for tackling those unsightly and potentially damaging bug splatters. By incorporating them into your car cleaning routine, you can easily and effectively banish those bug invaders and keep your vehicle looking pristine.
Don't let the bugs win! Invest in a quality bug cleaner and keep your car shining through the season.
