Coating Safe Decon
Bug removal that respects your protection
Most bug removers use caustic alkaline chemistry that strips wax, sealants and ceramic coatings along with the bugs. W8 breaks down insect residue without touching your coating's hydrophobic performance - so your decon step does not undo your protection work.
Why W8
The smarter bug treatment
No compromises on protection, no nasty chemistry.
-
Coating Integrity Preserved
Won't degrade beading, sheeting or slickness on any Gtechniq ceramic coating.
-
100% Biodegradable
Non-caustic formula is safer for you, your paintwork and the environment.
-
No Aggressive Chemistry
Breaks down insect proteins without the harsh alkaline ingredients that strip paint protection.
-
Simple Application
Spray, dwell 3-5 minutes and rinse - no complicated dilution or special equipment needed.
W8 vs The Rest
Not all bug removers are created equal
Traditional bug removers get the job done with caustic chemistry that also strips your wax, sealant or ceramic coating. Here is how W8 stacks up against a typical off-the-shelf alternative.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Safe on ceramic coatings | Yes | No |
| 100% biodegradable formula | Yes | No |
| Non-caustic, no paint protection stripping | Yes | No |
| Removes bug splatter effectively | Yes | Yes |
| Ready to use, no dilution needed | Yes | Yes |
| Safe for use on glass surfaces | Yes | Yes |
Biodegradable Formula
Effective without the environmental cost
W8 is 100% biodegradable, so you are not washing harmful chemicals down the drain every time you decon. It is a responsible choice for detailers who wash frequently and care about what goes into the water.

Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply W8 Bug Remover?
Shake the bottle well before use. Spray W8 directly onto the bug-splattered areas and allow it to dwell for 3-5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water. On heavy build-up, agitate gently with a clean buffing cloth before rinsing. Repeat if any residue remains.
Is W8 safe to use on ceramic-coated paint?
Yes. W8 is specifically formulated to be safe on Gtechniq ceramic coatings and will not affect their hydrophobic performance, beading or longevity. It is one of the few bug removers you can use confidently on a coated vehicle.
Can I use W8 on PPF and vinyl wraps?
W8 does not rely on caustic or solvent-heavy chemistry, which makes it a much safer choice for PPF and vinyl wraps compared to traditional bug removers. That said, always test on a small inconspicuous area first if you are unsure about a specific film.
Is W8 safe on glass and rubber seals?
Yes, W8 can be used on glass surfaces and is gentle enough not to damage rubber seals or trim. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly after use, especially around window rubbers and door seals.
How long does W8 need to dwell before rinsing?
Allow 3-5 minutes for the formula to break down bug splatter. Do not let it dry on the surface - work in a shaded area and avoid direct sunlight during application. In extreme cases you may need a second application.
Does W8 require dilution?
No dilution is needed. W8 is a ready-to-use spray. Simply apply it straight from the bottle onto affected areas.
Will W8 strip my existing wax or paint sealant?
W8 is non-caustic and is formulated to be safe on coatings, waxes and sealants. It will not strip your existing protection the way aggressive alkaline bug removers can. It is still good practice to follow up with a light maintenance spray if you prefer after the wash.
Where should I store W8 Bug Remover?
Store W8 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it out of reach of children. Wear gloves during use and apply in a well-ventilated area.
