Kenotek says: ‘Wax-safe easy removal of insect residues’
I had the opportunity last week to try this on a Ferrari 360 I look after.
Anything that retains the wax the car is protected with and minimises hands on washing is very welcome, so I gave it a go.
As you can see the car was heavily spattered with a variety of insect bodies plus evidence of a couple of larger hits.
The product is supplied in a large, robust yet tactile 1L spray bottle and I sprayed around the affected area. The car was dry and cool. I also did the wing mirrors, no bugs on the rest of the car due to its aerodynamics, it seems.
Left the product to dwell for about 3-4 minutes and ran my finger over a small area to assess how it felt – a bit slimy is all I can say. Then blasted it off with a strong jet of water – I prefer not to use a pressure washer on this car, as its rarely really dirty anyway.
Results: I have to say pretty amazing. The insect bodies just disappeared with the water jet (I left one of the mirrors to wash off with a sheepskin wash mitt and with one wipe they were off). There was simply nothing left. Brilliant, and inexpensive too.
This is now part of my wash routine for the summer – in fact, later on I used it on my silver Range Rover which has none of the aerodynamics and collect insects within yards of being washed.
When washing off here, I could see complete insects floating away, so clearly the product unbonds them somehow.
