Why are some detailers using degreaser for fabric seat cleaning? Is it safe?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 If you have thought about the question above (or not), this blog will benefit you in getting to understand the synergy between mechanical agitation and chemical cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the 2 major factors that contribute to cleaning. We will be exploring how the synergy works and how it can help to further increase effectiveness in cleaning various car surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mechanical agitation is the involvement of using a medium to loosen dirt\/gunks\/particles. More often than not, mechanical agitation is performed to loosen dirt and gunks from surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemical cleaning is the involvement of relying on various active ingredients to dissolve, purify, break down, encapsulate or react with deposits. This is perhaps the most vital aspect of cleaning as no cleaning can be performed effectively without chemical formulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mechanical agitation and chemical cleaning goes hand in hand, and it\u2019s inseparable in cleaning in any aspect of our life. In the detailing scene, mechanical agitation and chemical cleaning requires a more thoughtful approach to prevent damage, marring or chemical etching from occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dish washing requires agitation and chemical cleaning too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For example, cleaning the paintwork requires a mild chemical cleaning that does not strip last step products (LSP), while being effective enough to remove impurities from paint. While for mechanical agitation, it is recommended to use a softer approach to prevent marring on paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On interior upholsteries, the surface can take rougher scuff as fibers are tougher and able to suffer less from wear-and-tear; Which means brush is safe on fibers. While the strength of the cleaner can be formulated a tad stronger than a exterior shampoo (yet still gentle to avoid discoloration) to break down stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing when to increase and understand the limitations of both mechanical agitation and chemical cleaning will tremendously improve any detailers\u2019 approach in detailing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When dealing with a unique or severe condition of a surface, and drastic approach is required to remove impurities from a surface, both mechanical agitation and chemical cleaning can be revised to resolve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, cleaning tough black stains off a white car (this is an ubiquitous occurrence in tropical or humid weathered countries) the regular approach of washing may be insufficient. Increasing mechanical agitation may not be a good idea as it would inflict scratches or marring on paint. While on the strength of the choice of cleaner, a marginally stronger cleaner can be utilised to perform a more effective cleaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By spraying a degreaser or similar strength cleaner onto the wash mitt, it will effectively increase the chemical cleaning strength in removing stubborn stains without the need of harsher agitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
