A high-alkaline decontamination shampoo designed for heavy-duty cleaning and annual maintenance washes on enthusiast vehicles.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
12.5
Active Mechanism
alkaline saponification
Surfactants
1 (anionic)
Expert Analysis
The disclosed components center around disodium metasilicate, which provides strong alkaline cleaning at pH 12.5 to break down stubborn contaminants like road grime, bugs, and organic deposits. The known anionic surfactants work alongside the alkaline builder to encapsulate and lift away contaminants while generating the claimed high-foaming action.
Key Differentiators
- •Extremely high pH of 12.5 for aggressive decontamination while maintaining ceramic coating compatibility
- •Versatile application methods from touchless foam cannon use to traditional bucket washing with adjustable dilution ratios
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Very high alkalinity requires careful handling with full PPE and poses significant skin/eye hazard risk
- ⚠Will strip weaker waxes and sealants, requiring reapplication of protection after use
