We Say
Don't let stubborn bug splatter spoil your paintwork. Loosen dried insect remains quickly and make your next wash so much easier.
There are few things more frustrating than finishing a long motorway journey and finding the front of your car covered in insect remains. From the bumper and grille to the windscreen and mirrors, bug splatter can be surprisingly stubborn, particularly once it's had time to dry in the sun.
The problem is that insect remains aren't always easy to remove with an ordinary car shampoo. Once dried onto the surface, they can require repeated wiping or scrubbing, which isn't ideal when you're trying to keep your paintwork looking its best. A dedicated insect remover makes the job much easier by softening the contamination before you start washing.
Koch-Chemie THE FINISHER InsectOff is designed to take the effort out of this process. Simply spray it onto the affected areas, allow it a few minutes to work, then rinse the dirt away. Its cleaning formula penetrates stubborn insect deposits and helps loosen them from the surface, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing.
What we like about products such as InsectOff is that they make a real difference to everyday car care. You don't need specialist equipment, complicated dilution ratios or an elaborate detailing routine. It's a straightforward spray-on cleaner that tackles one of the most annoying types of contamination.
It's also versatile enough to use around the front of the vehicle, including suitable painted surfaces, glass and exterior plastics. That's particularly useful because insect splatter rarely stays in one place. Being able to treat the bumper, headlights, windscreen and mirrors as part of the same cleaning process makes the job quicker and more convenient.
We'd recommend using InsectOff before your normal contact wash, especially during the warmer months when insect contamination is at its worst. Removing the stubborn deposits first means you're less likely to find yourself repeatedly rubbing at them with your wash mitt. It's a simple extra step that can make the rest of your wash much easier.
As with any dedicated cleaner, the key is to use it correctly. Koch-Chemie recommends leaving InsectOff to work for one to three minutes before thoroughly rinsing, with gentle agitation using a suitable sponge if required. It shouldn't be applied to hot surfaces or allowed to dry.
For us, THE FINISHER InsectOff is exactly the kind of product that deserves a place in a regular car care kit. It solves a common problem, requires very little effort and helps make removing stubborn insect remains a much more manageable job. Particularly if you cover plenty of motorway miles, it's a product you'll be glad to have available.

How To Use
1) Prepare the vehicle:
Make sure the areas you want to clean are cool to the touch. Avoid applying InsectOff to hot surfaces or in strong direct sunlight.
2) Spray:
Spray InsectOff directly onto the insect remains and affected exterior surfaces. Apply enough product to cover the contamination without unnecessarily soaking surrounding areas.
3) Allow to work:
Leave the product to work for 1–3 minutes. This gives the cleaning formula time to soften and loosen stubborn insect deposits.
4) Agitate if required:
For particularly stubborn remains, gently work the affected area using a suitable clean, soft sponge. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or excessive pressure, particularly where hard insect deposits are present.
5) Rinse thoroughly:
Rinse the treated area thoroughly with clean water. Koch-Chemie recommends using a pressure washer to remove the loosened contamination and remaining cleaner.
6) Continue washing:
Once the insect deposits have been removed, continue with your normal car washing routine using a suitable shampoo and wash mitt.
