Aluminum
ADVANCED FORMULA ALUMINUM BRIGHTENER
An extra-strength, acid-based, aluminum cleaner and brightener designed for non-polished aluminum tanks and trailers, aluminum wheels and for preparing aluminum surfaces for painting. This easy-to-apply formula restores aluminum and makes it look like new in just one application. Do NOT use on glass, polished aluminum or anodized aluminum. Contains no phosphates.
POLISHED ALUMINUM & STAINLESS STEEL CLEANER
This non-etching specialty cleaner contains a concentrated blend of surfactants and glycol ethers to quickly penetrate and remove dirt, grease, oil, road film, diesel smoke and welding smut.
YELLOW FEVER
Yellow Fever is a powerful acidic cleaner and aluminum brightener to clean and restore stained aluminum surfaces, without dulling bright aluminum finishes. Yellow Fever is effective in removing diesel smoke, grease, carbon, oils and resins. Removes hard-water scale. Effective in removing mineral efflorescence from brick, masonry and concrete. Avoid contact with glass or anodized aluminum.
Asphalt / Tar
CITRUS CLEAN
This citrus-based detergent additive increases any detergent’s cleaning and degreasing power and is a great degreaser in its own right, plus it also enhances rinsing. Citrus Clean contains d-limonene which is a great “natural” degreaser.
Power Shine
POWER SHINE
High foaming detergent with increased dwell time. Specially formulated for washing vertical painted surfaces and removing bug residue, road film and oxidized paint leaving a shiny surface behind. Safe to use on aluminum and works well in cold water.
Carbone
CARBON-ATE
Especially formulated to clean engine compartments and hard to clean vehicles, road film, white wall tires and carbon (diesel smoke and exhaust). Works great on polished aluminum.
Clay
HOTSY BROWN
This versatile, extra-strong detergent is caustic based for fast and thorough cleaning. Hotsy Brown is a non-butyl product that is particularly effective on carbon based deposits such as road film and exhaust stains, as well as dirt and grease.
