Super effective, 100% biodegradable so-called cold degreaser. Effectively removes e.g. road salt and its substitutes, fat and oil-based dirt, light pitch stains, etc.. For dry and wet surfaces, to be used alone or as a pre-wash booster.
King Carhur NextGen Degreaser is a completely new type of super-effective pre-cleaner/lime detergent that combines the cleaning power of a so-called cold degreaser and the removal properties of particularly difficult dirt stains, as well as the safety of biodegradable detergents for the user and the environment. Despite the great cleaning power, there are no warning signs on the substance's label, but it can also be used without worry in washing in the home yard, unlike substances that are harmful to the environment, e.g. petroleum-based. The washing performance of NextGen Degreaser is between solvent detergents and small removers, i.e. it also effectively removes dirt that normal pre-detergents may not be able to remove. The substance also bites brilliantly, e.g. to road salt and its substitutes, light tar stains, grease and diesel residues, and engine oil spills. Especially during the winter, it makes washing significantly easier by removing salt and its substitutes easily even before washing the gloves.
Although NextGen Degreaser works as a super-effective pre-wash when used alone, it is not directly intended to replace the traditional pre-wash performed with a foamer, but to supplement it and improve the effectiveness of the pre-wash and especially the removal of particularly difficult stains even further. It can be used on both dry and wet surfaces, i.e. the substance can be sprayed on the surface of the car before pre-washing with foam, and after pre-washing to remove tougher stains. Spraying on wet surfaces also enables easy re-treatment, if the car has such stubborn dirt that it requires several treatment times. In situations where the car is particularly dirty (encrusted by a salt picker in the winter, diesel has spilled on the side, in the summer the car has accumulated so-called traffic film on the surface for a long time or has been driven through a fresh asphalt construction site), the use of NextGen Degreaser during the pre-wash enables maximum dirt removal.
An excellent agent for washing engine rooms, heavy equipment, work machines, etc.: when NextGen Degreaser is sprayed on the surface (especially on oily surfaces) first, and then foamed with e.g. KC's Total, even the most difficult stains can be removed with a single treatment. Unlike traditional solvents/cold degreasers, NextGen Degreaser does not contain petroleum or other toxic ingredients, but its power is based on ethyl acetate. Therefore, it is safe for all exterior surfaces of the car, including sensitive plastic parts that may absorb strong solvents. In terms of usability, a big plus in addition to safety is also the smell of the substance: a pleasant cherry scent tickles the sense of smell.
Among the organic solvents, ethyl acetate is considered one of the least harmful to the environment. It is both very effective and easily degradable both in air and water (biodegradable). Ethyl acetate is produced industrially by sulfuric acid catalyzing the reaction between acetic acid and ethanol.
Choose King Carthur NextGen Degreaser if:
You are looking for a substance that bites into salt, fat, etc.
You value maximum effective pre-washing
You want to do the laundry quickly
Dude's tip : In winter, in the spring after winter, and in situations where the car is particularly dirty, spray NextGen Degreaser on a dry surface a few minutes before foaming the pre-washer (e.g. KC Total ). In this way, the substance gets maximum effect time and thus pre-wash, and also small pitch stains and other difficult dirt can be removed already in the pre-wash phase.
Dude's comment : "A super-handy substance to make the pre-wash even more effective! An absolute help, especially for winter washes, when salt and especially the substances used as a salt substitute, which stick really tightly to the sides, can be dissolved directly. Reduces the need for small remover and other strong solvents."

Mix the detergent thoroughly before use.
Use as a pre-cleaner: Spray on a dry or wet surface (the best cleaning effect is achieved on a dry surface), let it work for 2-10 minutes (DO NOT LET IT DRY) and rinse the surface carefully. Continue to wash gloves.
Use as a pre-detergent booster: Spray on a dry surface, let it work for a few minutes (don't let it dry), then spread the actual pre-detergent as a foam on the surface. Let the substances work for as long as possible, but do not let them dry. Rinse thoroughly and proceed to actual glove washing.
NOTE! Do not use on warm surfaces or in direct sunlight. Do not allow the surface to dry.
