Traffic Film Removers
Your Ultimate Vehicle Cleaning Solution
Introduction
Traffic film removers (TFRs) are specialist cleaning solutions designed to tackle the stubborn layer of grime, dirt, and environmental contaminants that build up on road vehicles. TFRs are used by car washes, valeting services, and fleet operators for their effectiveness in restoring vehicles to a clean, presentable condition.
What Is Traffic Film?
Traffic film refers to the greasy, sticky residue that accumulates on a vehicle’s exterior because of exposure to exhaust fumes, road salts, oils, dust, and other pollutants. Unlike regular dirt, traffic film is notoriously difficult to remove with standard shampoo or water alone, as it forms a thin, tenacious layer bonded to paintwork and glass.
How Do Midex Traffic Film Removers Work?
Traffic film removers are solutions formulated to break down and emulsify oils, grease, and other contaminants. When applied to the vehicle’s surface, these chemicals penetrate the traffic film, loosening its grip and allowing it to be rinsed away easily with water, using a pressure washer for best results.
