Concentrated Citrus Pre Wash
Concentrated Citrus Pre-Wash — High-Alkaline Traffic-Film Remover
Our Concentrated Citrus Pre-Wash combines biodegradable surfactants with citrus-derived solvents and controlled alkalinity (> pH 11) to soften road film, traffic grease and insect residues before contact washing. Foam-cannon application creates a clingy blanket that breaks the static bond between dirt and paint, reducing the risk of swirls in the subsequent wash stage.
Performance Highlights
| Attribute | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Citrus-enhanced solvency | Dissolves oily road grime and bug splatter faster than neutral foams. |
| High surfactant load | Encapsulates and lifts particulate soil, reducing manual wash time. |
| Variable dilution | • Heavy winter grime: 1 : 4 • General maintenance: 1 : 9 • Light summer film: 1 : 15 |
| Foam-cannon friendly | Produces stable foam that clings 3–5 min without drying. |
| Non-hazardous for transport | Simplifies shipping and on-site handling logistics. |
