Expert Analysis

Uses tetrasodium pyrophosphate as the primary cleaning agent in a pH 13 alkaline system designed for variable dilution ratios. The concentrate format allows adjustment from 1:15 for gentle interior cleaning to 1:1 for heavy-duty applications like engine bays and wheel arches. The high alkalinity makes it effective against organic soils and grease but requires careful dilution for surface compatibility.

Key Differentiators

  • Tetrasodium pyrophosphate-based formula offers different cleaning mechanism than typical surfactant-heavy APCs
  • Wide dilution range from 1:15 to 1:1 allows single product to handle multiple cleaning tasks

Potential Concerns

  • pH 13 alkalinity requires proper dilution to avoid damage to sensitive surfaces
