SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate from SWAG Detailing Cosmetics is a strongly alkaline pre-wash product (TFR, Traffic Film Remover) in 5-litre concentrate form, designed to dissolve road grime, grease, insects, bird droppings and salt residue before hand washing or contactless rinsing. The high concentration means the foam clings to the paintwork for longer, giving better dwell time and separating dirt from the surface before a sponge or wash mitt is used.

The product is diluted up to 1:15 (max 100 ml per litre of water) and can be dosed according to the level of dirt, which helps reduce the risk of micro-scratches since the coarsest dirt has already been loosened during the pre-wash. The fruity scent makes the task more pleasant for daily use. More pre-wash products for car care are available in our range for those wanting to complement their wash routine.

The concentrate is well suited to both detail-oriented hobbyists and semi-professional users who want control over dilution ratio and dwell time before the next step in the wash process.

Why detailing professionals choose SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate

The product is chosen because it is highly concentrated and produces a foam that clings to the paintwork longer than pre-mixed alternatives. This contributes to better separation of dirt from the surface and reduces the number of hand movements required during the subsequent hand wash. The adjustable dilution allows the strength to be adapted to the level of dirt without changing products.

Is SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate suited to valeting workshops and home use?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate from SWAG Detailing Cosmetics suitable for all surfaces on the vehicle?

No. SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate from SWAG Detailing Cosmetics is intended exclusively for painted surfaces and should not be used on other material types on the vehicle. The product is best applied in the shade on a cool, dry bodywork for optimal results.

How long can SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate dwell on the paintwork before rinsing?

SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate from SWAG Detailing Cosmetics should remain on the surface for up to 5 minutes to allow the dirt to dissolve, but must never be allowed to dry on the surface. Rinse off with a pressure washer from the bottom up within this time for the best results.

What sets SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate from SWAG Detailing Cosmetics apart from other pre-wash products (TFR)?

SWAG Basic TFR Alkaline Foam Concentrate from SWAG Detailing Cosmetics is supplied as a high concentrate with dilution up to 1:15, giving greater coverage per litre than pre-mixed TFR products.

More car shampoos and wash products complement the pre-wash during a full valet.
