Bugs on the car, how to always eliminate them effortlessly

Gnats and insects that accumulate on windshields and car fronts, if not promptly removed, can create even serious problems for body paint. Here are Mafra's tips for preventing this problem easily and safely, eliminating the insects effortlessly.

With the arrival of warm weather also comes insects and midges that settle on the front and windshield of the car. In addition to creating visibility problems, especially when traveling against the sun and at night, the bodies of flies, midges and various insects release enzymes that are highly corrosive to the paint because of their acidic composition.

These residues, if not promptly removed within 48 hours, can affect the paint's clear coat, creating unsightly stains and halos that are sometimes difficult, if not impossible, to remove with a cleaning product alone. In this case, the only solution to fix the damage is to take the car to a trusted detailer or body shop, the only ones who can remove the stains on the paint through a polishing process.

It is precisely to prevent any damage to the paint that midges, insects and bird droppings should be removed within a couple of days.

There are two options for eliminating them: rely on a Mafra washing center, which will certainly be able to solve this problem or, for DIY enthusiasts, use Killer Elimina Moscerini, our specific product.
