Save your money for local car wash

a year ago

Awful. Did not work. Expensive waste of money. Better to spend 2 dollars at local car wash for their bug spray before car wash.

Bugs gone quickly

It works great! After returning from a 3k trip, the front end looked like we drove through raw meat, the bugs were so thick. This product saved a lot of time cleaning up the bugs!

Bonjour Froggie merci pour vos commentaires. Gel de prélavage Rain-X contre le goudron et les insectes éliminera facilement les insectes et le goudron des surfaces de votre véhicule. Pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats, rincer toute saleté ou débris, puis appliquer le produit directement sur la surface pour être plus propre et attendre 3-5 minutes, faire sur la zone à nettoyer n’est pas chaud et hors de la lumière directe du soleil. Ensuite, en utilisant de légers mouvements circulaires, frottez la zone pour la desserrer et éliminer les retombées de goudron ou d’insecte. Si les taches persistent, retirez la zone et nettoyez à nouveau, en particulier certains résidus de goudron peuvent cuire sur une consistance très dure et peuvent prendre 2 traitements ou plus pour le décomposer. Les instructions l’indiquent après le nettoyage. N’hésitez pas à communiquer avec nous si vous avez d’autres commentaires ou questions. Veuillez visiter : https://www.rainx.com/contact-us/. Merci.
