Insect removers reviewed - 12. Autoglym Active Insect

Best price: £6.95 (Amazon)
Capacity: 500ml
Type: Spray

For: Cleaned surfaces and buffed to a good shine
Against:Expensive, not as effective as cheaper alternatives
Overall:


Effectiveness:
Unusually for an Autoglym product we didn’t get good results – a repeat application was needed to get rid of all the sun-dried bugs. As the most expensive product on test, this was disappointing. After two applications, the paintwork of our test car was clean, and the gleam was restored following a quick polish with a dry cloth.


Buying:
Widely available, but the most expensive product on test.


Ease of Use:
The foaming action of the spray made it more difficult to treat localised areas, and we had to use two applications to get through the toughest remains.


Special features/Limitations:
Safe to use on all surfaces, so more versatile than some. However, it's not recommended for use on contaminants other than bugs.
