What’s a pre-cleaner and why should I use one before washing?

A pre-cleaner helps loosen stubborn grime, bug splatter, and road film before you make contact with your wash mitt. It reduces the risk of scratching by letting your shampoo focus on cleaning instead of scrubbing away tough buildup.

What’s the difference between nextzett Anti Insekt and Lotus ISF Pre-Wash?

Anti Insekt is a dedicated bug and sap remover designed to dissolve sticky insect remains and tree sap from paint, glass, and trim. Lotus ISF Pre-Wash is a stronger pre-cleaner that breaks down road film, salt, and grime before the main wash — ideal for heavily soiled vehicles.

When should I use a pre-cleaner?

Use Anti Insekt before every wash during bug season or whenever you see buildup on the front of your car. Use Lotus ISF Pre-Wash when your vehicle has heavy road film or winter grime. Simply spray on, let it dwell for a minute or two, and rinse off before washing.

Are these products safe for all surfaces?

Yes. Both Anti Insekt and Lotus ISF Pre-Wash are safe on paint, glass, chrome, and plastic when used as directed. Always apply to a cool surface and avoid letting the product dry before rinsing.

Can I use Anti Insekt and Lotus ISF together?

You can, but it's not necessary. However, Lotus ISF is more comprehensive than Anti Insekt in that it will remove bugs, sap, carbon residue, and stubborn road film.
