Lightning Kleen Low pH Presoak

Low-pH Two-Step Presoak | Lightning Kleen™ 9151

Lightning Kleen™ is a high-foaming, low-pH presoak built as the first step in two-step car wash systems. This concentrated acidic formula is aggressive on dirt and road film, yet contains no hydrofluoric acid or ammonium bifluoride.
