FAQs

What is Traffic Film Remover (TFR)?

Traffic Film Remover is a specialized cleaning agent designed to cut through and lift the tough layer of dirt, grease, and grime that accumulates on vehicles from road use.

Is Cleenly Traffic Film Remover safe for all car surfaces?

It is formulated to be safe for paintwork, alloys, rubber, plastic, and glass. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on older or custom finishes.

How often should I use this product?

It can be used as a regular pre-wash for heavily soiled vehicles, perhaps every 2-4 weeks, or as needed after long journeys or exposure to harsh road conditions. Avoid excessive use on pristine surfaces.

Do I need to dilute the 5L product?

Yes, the product is concentrated and must be diluted with water before application. A common dilution ratio is between 1:10 and 1:20, but this can be adjusted based on the level of dirt.

Can I use this product through a foam lance?

Yes, Cleenly Traffic Film Remover can be effectively used through a foam lance for an even application, allowing it to cling to the vehicle's surface and break down grime.

What is the benefit of using a pre-wash like TFR?

Using TFR as a pre-wash removes loose dirt and traffic film before you start the main wash. This significantly reduces the risk of scratching your paintwork with grit and debris during the shampooing process.

Should I use TFR in direct sunlight?

No, it is best to avoid applying TFR in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. The product can dry too quickly, leading to streaks and making it harder to rinse off effectively.

Troubleshooting

Product leaves white streaks or residue

Ensure the product was thoroughly rinsed off the vehicle with clean water. Try a more diluted solution for future applications or increase rinsing time. Never allow the product to dry on the surface.

Traffic film is not fully removed

Increase the concentration of the cleaning solution or allow it to dwell on the surface for a longer period (up to 5 minutes), ensuring it does not dry. Reapply if necessary on heavily soiled areas.

Product seems less effective in cold weather

While effective, extreme cold can affect chemical performance. Ensure the vehicle and product are at a suitable temperature for cleaning. A slightly higher concentration might be needed in very cold conditions.
