Can this stuff do what's claimed for it?
Car care product company Autoglym reckons squashed flies and other insects which plague many a day's driving in summer and can cause permanent marks on a car's bodywork have met their match.
Active Insect Remover is a 500ml trigger spray which may be used on windscreens, headlights and grilles to rapidly wipe off the offending creatures. Most importantly, it is also safe on paintwork, according to Autoglym.
It uses a formula which has been developed after intensive research by Autoglym to be a combination of effectiveness and safety on all surfaces.
Autoglym sales director David Rogers said, "Squashed insects can be a safety hazard in summer which no amount of screenwashing will remove. In addition they are very acidic and can permanently mark paintwork. The trade has been looking for such a product from us for a number of years, but we were determined not to launch it until the formula was proven to be strong but safe."
Active Insect Remover retails for £5.99. If you try it, let other PHers know how well you got on with it.
