As per my last couple of product reviews-- Thanks again, Nick and AG, for sending me this product sample. It arrived just in time, as we're nearing the end of "insect season" here in SD/MN.
I made a trip through much of the western half of Minnesota last week as I was returning to SD from a fishing trip. As always, this ended in quite a mess on the front end, and I wasn't able to get to the cleaning until a couple of days later. Queue the Wolfgang Bug Remover Spritz. Following are my thoughts and photos.
To me, the product scent has some citrus/pine notes. Not at all overpowering, nor overly "chemical" in nature. The product is really thin, it sprayed easily, and it took no time at all to cover the front end of my Tacoma in product. I let it dwell for a couple of minutes, then soaked it again. Before I knew it, I'd used 1/3 of the bottle! I let it dwell for a couple of minutes more, then hit it with a pressure washer. I'd say about 80% of the bugs were easily eliminated. For the remaining bug debris that had a firm grip, I VERY gently scrubbed in straight line motions with "das Bug Sponge". Worked like a charm.
The sponge is really stiff, and to be honest, I cringed a little at the thought of swiping it across my bumper. But after thinking about it a bit, I realized that it's effectiveness may lie in the fact that it IS pretty abrasive. And that I would actually be doing LESS scrubbing because the sponge would be more effective in fewer passes than my microfiber. These bugs have to come off in one way or another. I could have scrubbed long and hard with my microfiber... or I could make a handful of quick passes with the sponge. I'm also pretty sure this thing has been "tested" by some folks that know a whole lot more about automotive surfaces than I do. Long story short, bugs gone and no swirls on my bumper.
The finished product:
