Neutral APC from Cleantle is an all-purpose cleaner (APC) with a neutral pH, developed for both interior and exterior vehicle cleaning. The formulation is based on biosurfactants rather than traditional caustic or sodium hydroxide-based degreasers, making the product gentle on plastic, rubber, fabric upholstery and paintwork. The 5-litre volume makes it suitable for workshops and businesses with high consumption. See also more Cleantle products for car care.

The product is diluted into a working solution before use — 1:10 for heavy soiling and 1:20 for lighter contamination. The neutral pH value allows it to be used broadly in the cabin and on the bodywork without causing damage to materials over time.

What makes Neutral APC a strong choice for vehicle cleaning?

Neutral APC combines strong cleaning power with a neutral pH, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive surfaces compared with strongly alkaline all-purpose cleaners. The biosurfactants dissolve dirt effectively, while the product is readily biodegradable, making handling and waste disposal easier in a workshop environment.

As the product is free from sodium hydroxide, it can be used both internally on fabric upholstery and plastic, and externally on paintwork and rubber trims, without needing to switch cleaning products between stages.

How Neutral APC is used in detailing and reconditioning work

• Pre-wash of the bodywork before hand washing or machine washing
• Cleaning of the dashboard, door panels and plastic trim in the cabin
• Stain removal on fabric upholstery and mats
• Degreasing before applying wax, sealant or Coating
