Pre-treatment
First class right from the start
Depending on the facility and washing process, pre-cleaning creates the basis for being able to shine with excellent results at the end. Especially in commercial vehicle washing facilities, this first stage often helps decisively, as stubborn dirt has to be removed from trucks, buses or agricultural vehicles – often in hard-to-reach places. As a rule, good results can rarely be achieved with water alone, and if so, then only with more time and effort or technical input. Chemical pre-cleaning solutions from Caramba, on the other hand, offer you full cleaning support with their innovative formulas – and that pays off:
- Ideal chemical solutions for manual and mechanical pre-cleaning
- Powerful against statically adhering dirt, flash rust, grease, oils, insect residues and for rim cleaning
- Time-saving and relief thanks to fast, powerful action
- Acidic and alkaline products available depending on typical soiling
- Also NTA-free solutions
- Highly concentrated, highly productive, highly economical
