Expert Analysis
Uses sodium metasilicate pentahydrate as the primary cleaning agent in an alkaline formula at pH 11.4 to break down organic contaminants like bug residue and tar. The concentrate offers multiple dilution ratios from 6:1 for spray applications to bucket wash concentrations, supported by anionic surfactants for cleaning and foam generation. The high alkalinity provides strong cleaning power while remaining safe for automotive surfaces when properly diluted.
Key Differentiators
- •Multiple application methods with specific dilution ratios for spray, bucket wash, or wash additive use
- •High pH alkaline formula specifically optimized for organic contaminant removal
Potential Concerns
- ⚠High alkalinity requires proper dilution and should not be left on surfaces in direct sunlight
- ⚠May be unnecessarily strong for light bug removal or regular maintenance
