{"product_id":"elements-xpert-tfr-cx-traffic-film-remover","title":"TFR CX Commercial Traffic Film Remover \u0026 Rinse Aid","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraffic film is the grey-brown layer of diesel soot, road salt and oily spray that builds up on lower panels over a winter and will not shift with shampoo alone. Elements Xpert TFR CX is a commercial traffic film remover concentrate that strips it in one pass, and it carries a rinse aid in the blend, so the rinse water sheets off and the vehicle dries without the streaking a plain TFR leaves behind. It is supplied in a 20L drum for people washing vehicles all day rather than once a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlkaline detergent blend that lifts traffic film, oil, grease and general road soiling in one pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequestrants hold hard-water minerals in solution, so it keeps performing in hard water areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in rinse aid breaks the surface tension of the rinse water for faster drying and a streak-free finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDilutes up to 66:1 — a 20L drum makes roughly 1,340 litres of ready-to-use solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns through hot or cold pressure wash equipment, or premixed for brush application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes the work chemically, so heavy agitation is not needed to lift the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinter, mainly, and anything doing motorway miles: vans, tippers, horseboxes, trailers, plant and the lower half of any car that has been on gritted roads. Run it as the pre-wash step so salt and grit are off the vehicle before a mitt ever touches paint. It is also the answer to a yard full of vehicles on a Friday afternoon, where a 1L trigger bottle is not going to get you home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20L drum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTraffic Film Remover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDilution — pressure washer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDraw neat, set the machine to 1–3% depending on soiling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDilution — premixed or brush\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 66:1 with water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemistry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlkaline builders, surfactants, sequestrants and rinse aid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot or cold pressure wash equipment, or manual agitation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGoggles, gloves and a mask should be worn when handling the concentrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElements Xpert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStraight from us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart weaker than you think. 1% through the lance clears an ordinary winter's road film, and jumping straight to 3% on a lightly soiled van just costs you money for no extra clean.
