Carbon Collective Citrus Cleanser (5 l)

Carbon Collective Citrus Cleanser

Carbon Collective Citrus Cleanser is a highly effective, pH-balanced cleaner designed for a safe pre-wash of the bodywork before a contact wash. It efficiently breaks down and removes road grime, grease, insect remains and bird droppings without risking damage to previously applied waxes, sealants or ceramic protections. Thanks to its gentle formula it is an ideal choice for regular vehicle maintenance, minimizing the risk of scratches during subsequent hand washing.

Pre-washing the vehicle is one of the most important steps in the entire detailing process, because removing coarse contaminants carries the greatest risk of paint damage. This product acts as an exceptionally effective barrier that dissolves and loosens embedded dirt before you touch the surface with a wash mitt. Its advanced citrus-based formulation actively penetrates the road film, grease and organic contaminants like insects or bird droppings. These contaminants are safely encapsulated and can be easily rinsed away with a water jet, significantly simplifying the following shampoo wash and protecting the paint from unsightly micro-scratches.

A major advantage of this cleaner is its pH-balanced recipe, which ensures absolute gentleness toward previously applied protective layers. You don’t have to worry about weakening or fully stripping natural waxes, synthetic sealants or premium ceramic coatings. The product is safe for use on almost all types of exterior vehicle surfaces. In addition to the bodywork, it can be applied without concern to windows, rubber seals, plastic trims, wheel arches, engine bays, door sills, wheels and tyres. This versatility makes it an indispensable aid for complete exterior decontamination, capable of handling hard-to-reach areas.

Application is very flexible and adapts to your individual needs. The product can be applied directly with a spray, or for longer dwell time use a foamer that creates a rich foam which remains on the surface. For routine maintenance of less soiled vehicles the product can be diluted with water, significantly increasing its cost-effectiveness without notable loss of cleaning power. A characteristic citrus scent is released during use, making the whole washing process more pleasant. This product is the ideal solution for anyone seeking professional results, maximum paint safety and high efficiency in one step.
