Frequently asked questions
Questions about Vehicle-care chemicals
What does vehicle-care chemistry include?
It includes cleaners, polishes, sealants, shampoos, degreasers, fallout removers and other products for defined materials and work stages.
Why does the right vehicle-care chemistry matter?
Because performance and material compatibility must work together. The right product removes contamination without placing unnecessary stress on the surface.
What role does pH play?
pH influences performance and compatibility but is not the only factor. Concentration, solvents, surfactants, dwell time and material also matter.
What is the difference between alkaline and acidic cleaners?
Alkaline products often address organic and greasy contamination, while acidic products mainly target mineral deposits. The specific formula and manufacturer approval remain decisive.
Do strong cleaners need to be neutralised?
After strong acids or alkalis, residue must be removed completely and the specified follow-up process observed. Whether separate neutralisation is required depends on the product instructions.
