Cleantle Alkaline TFR is a powerful alkaline pre-wash from the CleantlePro product line, formulated to effectively dissolve and remove heavy contamination such as road salt, mud, traffic film, and insects from bodywork, wheels, and tyres. The product is supplied as a concentrate with a pH of 13 and is diluted prior to use.

Thanks to its high wetting ability, the product penetrates deep into soiling and separates it from the surface. Built-in corrosion inhibitors help protect metal components during the washing process. The product contains neither sodium hydroxide nor potassium hydroxide, making it suitable for more sensitive surfaces such as chrome and painted aluminium wheels.

With a dilution ratio of up to 1:20, one litre of concentrate yields up to 20 litres of ready-to-use solution, making Alkaline TFR a cost-effective choice for professional use. See more pre-wash products for vehicle care in our range.

What is Alkaline TFR and why choose it?

Alkaline TFR from Cleantle is an alkaline pre-wash designed for situations where speed and maximum cleaning power are essential. The high pH of 13 effectively breaks down grease, oil, traffic film, and organic contamination without requiring mechanical agitation. The product is particularly well suited when a vehicle is heavily soiled and a standard pre-wash is insufficient.

Unlike many strong alkaline cleaners, Alkaline TFR contains corrosion inhibitors that help protect exposed metal components. It rinses away easily with a pressure washer and performs effectively in hard water, making it reliable across varying working environments.

Where is this product suitable?

• Professional reconditioning workshops and detailing studios with high throughput
• Car care businesses working with heavily soiled vehicles
• Vehicles exposed to road salt, mud, and insect residue
• Painted steel and aluminium wheels as well as tyres
• Situations where working time is limited and rapid cleaning is required
