Elements Xpert TFR X is a concentrated traffic film remover — a blend of alkaline detergents, surfactants and sequestrants that releases traffic film, oil and grease chemically, so it leaves in the rinse water instead of off the end of a brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcentrated alkaline detergent blend that lifts traffic film, oil and grease without heavy scrubbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequestrants hold hard-water minerals in solution, so it keeps working in hard water areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDilutes up to 33:1 for brush work — a 5L drum makes roughly 165 litres of solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawn neat through pressure wash equipment at 2–3%, set by how dirty the vehicle is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns through hot or cold pressure wash equipment, or premixed for manual application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5L is the size for a busy week without committing to a 20L drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom October onwards, on anything doing motorway or country-road miles: vans, tippers, trailers, horseboxes and the bottom third of any car that has been on gritted roads.
