A high-alkaline all-purpose cleaner with chelating agents designed for heavy-duty decontamination across multiple vehicle surfaces.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
12.5
Active Mechanism
alkaline saponification
Surfactants
2 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses trisodium nitrilotriacetate as a chelating agent at pH 12.5 to break down mineral deposits and organic contamination. The alkaline formulation combines anionic and nonionic surfactants for grease cutting and soil suspension across diverse substrates. The phosphate-free chemistry provides strong cleaning power while avoiding environmental phosphate concerns.
Key Differentiators
- •Chelating agent formulation for mineral deposit removal
- •Phosphate-free alkaline chemistry
- •Multi-surface compatibility including engine bays
Potential Concerns
- ⚠High alkalinity (pH 12.5) requires careful handling and may damage sensitive surfaces
- ⚠Not ceramic coating safe according to manufacturer specifications
