BODY

Stain Cleaner

The No. 1 problem that not only car drivers, but also motorcyclists face in the summer? Insect residue that is difficult to wash off! After an afternoon or evening drive, the front of the vehicle can be fully stuck with insects eating into the paint and plastics. How to deal with this? Here, we should have Stain Cleaner at hand.

Soft99 car care product Stain Cleaner being sprayed on a motorcycle.

This is an all-purpose cleaner, doing an excellent job when organic dirt is involved. In addition to bugs, Stain Cleaner will help with getting rid of resin, pollen, bird droppings or ordinary road dust.

Our tip:
If you're struggling with heavily embedded, or completely dried out, insect residue, use Stain Cleaner as a pre-wash agent. The product's formula allows it to remain safely on the paint for up to 2 minutes. Spray the dirtiest areas and wait 120 seconds, then rinse the cleaner with high-pressure water.

Biggest advantages of Stain Cleaner:

    • Quickly remove stubborn dirt from your car's body, such as insect remains and bird droppings
    • Quick and easy to apply, with a pleasant grapefruit scent
    • You can safely apply it, wait a few moments and rinse it, or wipe it off with a microfibre
    • Entirely safe for paintwork – does not contain any abrasive elements

Fukupika Spray

Even a perfectly washed, prepared and protected vehicle will eventually become covered in dust, road film, or fine pollen (a problem especially common in early summer, during the pollen season). Taking only a slightly dusty car to the car wash sounds like a waste of time and money, so what should we do?

Biggest advantages of Fukupika Spray:

    • 2-in-1 product – cleaning & protecting the paint
    • Designed for waterless washing – simply apply onto the car’s body, then gently wipe with a microfibre to take the dust off
