What is AF Active Foam and why choose it?

These surfactants create a dense, clinging foam that encapsulates dirt and dissolves it mechanically without requiring aggressive mechanical action – protecting the paintwork and reducing the risk of wash-induced scratches.

The product is phosphate-free and NTA-free, meaning it meets modern environmental requirements and is approved to VDA standard Class A. For detailers and vehicle preparation workshops seeking a reliable and effective foam agent with documented performance, AF Active Foam is a well-founded choice.
