Striker Low pH Presoak

Low pH Vehicle Wash Presoak | Striker™ 9150 Series

A low-pH concentrated acid presoak engineered as the first step in touchless and two-step wash systems. Striker uses a synergistic blend of wetting agents, emulsifiers, builders, and solvents to penetrate and lift tough road film, dirt, and grime from vehicle surfaces. High-foaming, fast-rinsing, and stable in hard water, it is formulated for the fine finishes on vehicles and gentle enough for highly polished stainless steel tankers.
