Never Dull is a ‘special purpose’ solvent base detergent that has been developed for ‘high end’ vehicle cleaning. The Never Dull formula incorporates extract of citrus, a
totally natural cleaning ingredient that also provides this product's orange
scent. It is an excellent Truck Wash/Degreaser that is gentle enough for the
most expensive finishes. It can also be useful for a variety of other cleaning
applications. Any time you are unsure of suitability do a test on a small
inconspicuous area. This product can be used as a single step cleaner or step
#2 in a two step cleaning process which includes an acid product as step #1. For the absolute very best results downstream inject using the Allison Super
Suds Sucker (p/n 1964).
Related Chemical Products: For faster rinsing add one gallon of Speed-X 777
after mixing a drum pack of Pro Blend. Offer customers the add-on service of protecting their vehicles after washing by
applying Wax N Shine. When using Pro Blend in an application that requires dwell time consider adding
Laurox Lo foam enhancer to make the product dwell on the surface longer. This is extremely helpful for heavy grease removal (Use with foamer p/n 969410).
Mixing Instructions: Read and understand these instructions before starting to
mix this product. Use warm water (never hot - not to exceed 120 degrees F).
Warm water helps powders go into solution more easily. Hot water, on the other
hand, will blow apart many of the surfactants utilized in the formulary
process. It is possible to use cold water but additional manual agitation may
be required. Use a clean poly drum and fill it approximately 30% full with warm
water. Place the nozzle of a high-pressure washer close to the bottom of the
drum and continue filling while adding the liquid product. WASH AND DISCARD
LIQUID CONTAINERS BEFORE DISPOSING. At 40% full, start adding the powder. When
the drum is 90% full all the powder should be in solution. Continue filling
until the drum is full. The result is 55 gallons of liquid concentrate that is
now ready for use.
Dilutions: The amount you dilute Never Dull depends on many factors and cannot
be covered by one statement. The following guidelines are a starting point from
which you should adjust. Chemical dilution rates need to be adjusted because of
weather conditions, cleaning difficulty, washing method used, including PSI and
whether or not you brush, and desired result. Remember that a typical
downstream injector is already diluting the product approximately 1 part
detergent to 9 parts water (10%) for most injectors or 2 parts product to 8
parts water (20%) with an Allison super suds sucker injector.
Starting Dilution: 1 part product to 175 parts water using cold water equipment.
Cool down all surfaces prior to product application. (Salesmen will tell you
very high dilution rates attempting to make you think their product is the
best. Actual washing experience is the only way to determine what is right for
you. Remember, detergent is much cheaper than labor.)
Washing technique (single step): Coat the surface to be cleaned with Never Dull
at low pressure. High-pressure wash the surface removing the detergent and
released dirt. Never apply detergent to an area larger than you can wash off
prior to the detergent drying on the surface. Always apply chemical from the
bottom to the top and rinse from the top down for best results.
Washing technique (two step): Apply first step (acid) product to the surface to
be cleaned. Immediately apply Never Dull on top of the first step product.
High-pressure wash the surface removing the detergent and released dirt. Never
apply detergent to an area larger than you can wash off prior to the detergent
drying on the surface. Only use phosphoric acid with this product in two step
cleaning.
Note: It is important to always rinse well and when you think you are done -
rinse again. This should be common practice with all cleaning solutions. Pay
special attention to horizontal surfaces that may trap detergent allowing it to
run down onto surfaces after you have washed them. Examples of where this
occurs would be run-off from tractor roofs and trailer tops. Try not to put
detergent in these areas, if you do be sure to get it rinsed off to leave a
streak free surface.
Recommended surfaces that can be cleaned with Never Dull: Primarily Truck Bodies
but can also be used with cold water on the following - Car Washes, Vinyl
Siding, Painted Wood , Aluminum Siding, Steel Siding, Stucco, Stainless Steel,
Chrome, Bare Metal, Most plastics (test), Most awnings (test).
Make it a practice to always read and insist your employees read and understand
the MSDS that accompanies this product.
