Product Description
Alkaline Pre-Wash is a high-performance, alkaline-based (pH ~10.5) pre-wash concentrate engineered to emulsify and lift road tar, oily films, diesel soot, tree sap residue, and industrial grime that neutral shampoos can’t remove. Its powerful surfactant system generates thick, clinging foam that penetrates deep into surface contaminants—loosening debris without abrasion. Use before hand washing or decontamination steps to ensure a truly clean foundation.
⚠️ Not for daily use. Designed for periodic deep cleaning. Safe on clear-coated paint and ceramic coatings when used as directed and thoroughly rinsed.
Key Benefits
✅ Rapidly breaks down oily, greasy, and hydrophobic contaminants

✅ Excellent prep step before iron remover, clay, or machine polishing
✅ Highly concentrated: dilutes up to 1:30 for cost-efficient use
❗ Not recommended for matte paint, vinyl wraps, or unsealed surfaces.
