Can I use Car Wash Detergent in a foam cannon?
Yes. Car Wash Detergent is designed for use in a wash bucket, foam gun or foam cannon. For the best results, use the foam to loosen dirt before following up with a contact wash using a quality wash mitt.

Will it strip my wax or ceramic coating?
No. Its pH-neutral formula is designed to clean without stripping quality waxes, sealants or ceramic coatings when used as directed.

Is it safe on matte or satin paint?
Yes. It is safe to use on gloss, matte and satin paint finishes, as well as wraps and paint protection film (PPF).

Can I wash my whole vehicle with it?
Yes. It is safe for paintwork, glass, wheels, plastics, chrome, rubber trims and decals, making it ideal for a complete exterior wash.

Can I use it in direct sunlight?
For the best results, wash in the shade on a cool surface. This helps prevent the detergent from drying before it can be rinsed away.

Will it remove traffic film or heavy mud?
It will remove normal road grime, salt and light-to-moderate contamination. For heavily soiled vehicles, allow the foam to dwell briefly and agitate with a wash mitt, or pre-treat with an appropriate pre-wash or degreaser if required.

Is it biodegradable?
Yes. The formula is biodegradable, however wash water should always be disposed of responsibly in accordance with local regulations.

Can I use it on boats, caravans and motorcycles?
Yes. The pH-neutral formula is suitable for cars, 4WDs, boats, caravans, motorcycles and other painted exterior surfaces.
