A concentrated alkaline all-purpose cleaner with tetrapotassium pyrophosphate formulation designed for versatile interior and exterior detailing applications at multiple dilution ratios.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

10.0

Active Mechanism

alkaline saponification with phosphate builders

Surfactants

8 (nonionic, cationic)

Expert Analysis

This formulation leverages tetrapotassium pyrophosphate as the primary alkaline builder at pH 10, providing strong cleaning power while maintaining material compatibility across diverse surfaces. The combination of nonionic and cationic surfactants creates a balanced cleaning system that can tackle both organic and inorganic soils effectively. The concentrate format allows for precise dilution control from 1:1 for heavy-duty exterior cleaning down to 1:20 for gentle pre-washing applications.

Key Differentiators

  • Exceptionally wide dilution range (1:1 to 1:20) allowing single-product versatility across multiple detailing tasks
  • Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate formulation provides strong alkaline cleaning while remaining non-hazardous with no signal word required
  • Complex 33-ingredient formulation includes odor neutralization technology beyond standard APC functionality

Potential Concerns

  • High ingredient count (33 components) may increase risk of material incompatibility on sensitive surfaces despite safety claims
  • pH 10 alkalinity requires careful attention to contact time and proper neutralization, especially on delicate interior materials
  • Wide dilution range recommendations may lead to user confusion about optimal ratios for specific applications
