Key Chemistry

pH Level

6.0

Active Mechanism

surfactant emulsification cleaning

Surfactants

4 (nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses C14-16 alcohols as the primary nonionic surfactant to trap and encapsulate dirt for safe removal without scratching. The neutral pH formulation combines ceramic and carnauba protective elements to provide water repellency and contamination resistance after cleaning.

Key Differentiators

  • Full formula transparency with all 22 ingredients disclosed
  • Hybrid protection system combining ceramic durability with carnauba aesthetics
  • Compatible with paint protection films and vehicle wraps

Potential Concerns

  • Effectiveness on heavily soiled surfaces may be limited without pre-rinsing
  • Requires proper microfiber technique to avoid redistributing trapped contaminants
