Expert Analysis

Built around C12-14 fatty alkyl ether sulphate as the primary cleaning agent, this concentrate uses a blend of anionic and nonionic surfactants to generate substantial foam while maintaining pH neutrality. The balanced surfactant system provides strong dirt dissolution while remaining gentle enough for regular use on protected surfaces.

Key Differentiators

  • Multi-purpose formulation functions as car shampoo, insect remover, and wheel cleaner in one product
  • Excellent ingredient transparency with full disclosure of all 11 components
