Cleaner or Degreaser? Choose by Contamination

A surface-first guide to selecting the right cleaning approach for workshop and vehicle care.

Cleaner or Degreaser? Choose by Contamination

Identify the contamination first

Dust, road film, oily residue and cured deposits do not respond to the same cleaning chemistry. Selecting by contamination type is more reliable than choosing by product strength alone.

Respect the surface

Painted panels, plastics, rubber, electrical areas and bare metal can have different compatibility limits. Test sensitive surfaces and follow the contact time and removal method on the product label.

Use the least aggressive effective method

A controlled application reduces unnecessary exposure and residue. Good workshop practice combines the right product with ventilation, suitable tools and complete removal where required.
