Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a pre-wash before contact washing?
How long should I let AlkaWash sit on the vehicle?
Do I still need to contact wash after using AlkaWash?
If you’re looking for a quick wash and don’t need a perfect finish, you can combine AlkaWash + AcidWash for an almost touchless wash that can get your car about 85% clean.
Will AlkaWash remove wax or sealants?
Can I use AlkaWash for every wash?
However, for routine maintenance washes, a pH-neutral soap like HyperFoam often makes more sense. It’s gentler and still provides plenty of cleaning power when the vehicle isn’t heavily soiled.
Will AlkaWash leave residue or streaks?
What surfaces can I use AlkaWash on?
• Paint
• Clear coat
• Wheels
• Glass
• Plastic trim
Always avoid letting the product dry on the surface.
Is this made in the USA?
