Prime Mover – New Generation Truck and Trailer Wash 25L (26145-25)
The scope of this covers the efficient and economical removal of all normal soils, including oxide films,
from paint/enamel and metal surfaces or cars, trucks, buses, trailers, etc., with one product.
PRIME MOVER is described as a ‘Quick Break Detergent’ and has been tested to break within the 60 minute
parameter.
Application:
The selected product for this operation is Castle Chemicals PRIME MOVER, which is a liquid car and truck
shampoo for hand washing of all vehicles.
PRIME MOVER is an entirely new type of car shampoo. It is outstandingly superior to all other car
shampoos because of its ability to remove films of oxide from painted and metal surfaces. (Oxide films
occur on paint, enamel and lacquer, and also metals such as chrome, aluminium, etc.).
The removal of these oxide films has the effect of restoring lustre to previously coated surfaces, and
ensures full brightening. The subsequent rinse leaves a chemically cleaned surface, with complete absence
of streaks.
• Cleans without removing the wax finish.
• Can confidently be used on all metals, including aluminium.
• Is nontoxic and safe for manual use.
• Is readily soluble in hard or soft water, producing instantaneous and abundant controlled foam.
• Because of its near neutral pH, is not harsh on the hands or duco.
Spray / Pressure Wash:
• Dilute 1 part PRIME MOVER with 5 parts clean water for use on chassis, tyres, truck trays etc.
• Dilute 1 part PRIME MOVER with 10 to 15 parts clean water for cars, truck cabs, and paint work.
• Apply preferably by low pressure spray, allow to dry, hose off pressure rinse with clean water.
Scrub / Rinse
• PRIME MOVER can also be used as a general wash on hose off vehicle wash.
• Dilute 1 part PRIME MOVER with 50 parts clean water for brush / scrub physical application.
The oxide removal operation is not drastic enough to show a spectacular improvement with the first wash
but with successive washes the removal of the oxides will become complete, and the full brightening effect
on the surface and chrome plating will be seen. NOTE: DO NOT apply to hot surfaces. Use with caution on
poor quality paint work.
