Surfactants
6 (anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, cationic)
Expert Analysis
This formulation relies on ammonium bifluoride as its primary cleaning mechanism, providing strong acidic action to dissolve brake dust and road grime without mechanical agitation. The multi-surfactant system (anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, and cationic) ensures broad compatibility with different soil types and enhances the product's ability to penetrate and lift contaminants for easy rinsing.
Key Differentiators
- •Contains ammonium bifluoride at 5-10% concentration for aggressive brake dust dissolution
- •Comprehensive four-surfactant system combining all major surfactant types for enhanced cleaning performance
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Ammonium bifluoride poses significant safety risks requiring protective equipment and proper ventilation
- ⚠Not safe for ceramic coatings, uncoated aluminum, aftermarket wheels, or powder-coated surfaces due to aggressive acid chemistry
