Power Clean
Concentrated alkaline all-purpose cleanerSituational specialist
Useful for oily grime when shampoo is too mild, but dilution and surface control matter. It is not a universal spray-and-walk-away cleaner.
The chemistry
Alkaline builders and surfactants emulsify greasy petroleum soil and suspend it for rinsing or wiping.
Use it when
- Engine-bay grease
- Tire browning and oily wheel-well film
- Heavier interior grime only at the manufacturer-approved dilution
Compatible surfaces
- Painted surfaces at the labeled dilution
- Rubber and durable plastics
- Leather, vinyl and dashboards only at the labeled interior dilution
Avoid or verify first
- Hot surfaces or dried product
- Unverified bare metals
- Strong concentration on delicate interior coatings, screens or instrument lenses
How to use Power Clean safely
- 1Dilute for the exact surface; the manufacturer lists 3:1 for painted surfaces and 5:1 for leather, vinyl and dashboards.
- 2Apply to a towel or controlled area, agitate gently and do not let it dry.
- 3Rinse exterior work thoroughly; wipe interior work with a clean damp towel and dry.
