A standard-dilution rinseless wash concentrate (256:1) designed for maintenance washes on lightly soiled vehicles, safe for paint, ceramic coatings, PPF, and wraps.
Key Chemistry
pH
4.5
Active Mechanism
surfactant encapsulation with silicone lubrication
Surfactants
2 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
This concentrate relies on nonionic surfactants to lift and encapsulate light soiling without a follow-up rinse, allowing dirt to be wiped away with a dry towel. Among the disclosed ingredients is a hydroxy-terminated, ethoxylated/propoxylated silicone surfactant (3–<5%), which can contribute both surface conditioning and the slick, low-friction glide associated with rinseless washes. The mildly acidic pH of 4.5 keeps the chemistry gentle on existing waxes, sealants, and coatings.
Key Differentiators
- •Includes a hydroxy-terminated ethoxylated/propoxylated silicone surfactant that can add lubricity and a conditioned, slick finish during wipe-down
- •Very high 256:1 dilution makes the concentrate economical per wash and flexible for both bucket and spray application
