Rip
$47.00
Step 2: Detergent
Rip is a high pH alkaline detergent formulated as Step 2 of the two-step truck and fleet wash process. Applied directly after Grip (low pH acidic pre-wash), Rip’s foaming formula neutralises residual acidic pre-wash while cutting through grease, diesel soot, exhaust buildup, oil, and organic road grime, delivering a streak-free, polished finish. The high-foaming action clings to vehicle surfaces for improved dwell time and cleaning contact before a thorough high-pressure rinse. Safe on paint, metal, glass, and rubber when used as directed. Available in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, and 275-gallon totes. For drum and tote pricing, contact Suppliers Chemical.

Features
- Step 2 of Two-Step Fleet Washing: Rip is specifically designed to follow a low pH acidic pre-wash (Grip), neutralising its residual acidity while completing the cleaning cycle by attacking organic carbon-based soils that the acidic step cannot remove.
- Powerful Degreasing Action: Rip’s high pH formula breaks down grease, oil, diesel exhaust soot, bug residue, and organic road grime on truck surfaces, lifting contaminants from paint, metal, and glass for a thorough clean.
- High-Foaming Formula: The foaming action clings to vertical and contoured surfaces, extending dwell time and chemical contact with soils, improving cleaning performance on truck bodies, trailers, and fleet vehicles before rinsing.
- Neutralises Acidic Pre-Wash: When applied over Grip’s acidic residue, Rip initiates a neutralisation reaction that cancels out the electrostatic bond holding road film and grime to the vehicle surface, releasing contaminants for efficient rinse removal.
- Streak-Free, Polished Finish: Rip rinses quickly and cleanly without leaving residue or water spotting, producing a bright, polished surface finish when used in the complete two-step process with Grip.
- Safe on Vehicle Surfaces: Formulated to clean without damaging paint, metal, glass, or rubber when applied and rinsed at the correct dilution rate. Always review the SDS before use.
- Available in Bulk Formats: 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, and 275-gallon totes available to match fleet size. Contact Suppliers Chemical for drum and tote pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a high pH alkaline detergent do in a two-step truck wash?
In a two-step truck wash, the high pH alkaline detergent is applied as Step 2 after a low pH acidic pre-wash. The alkaline formula neutralises the acid and the electrostatic bond holding road film to the surface, while attacking organic carbon-based soils including grease, oil, diesel soot, and bugs. The reaction between the two steps releases contamination for efficient rinse removal without brushing.
What is the difference between a low pH and high pH truck wash detergent?
How long should you let a high pH truck wash detergent dwell before rinsing?
Can a high pH alkaline detergent damage truck paint or metal surfaces?
Can you use an alkaline truck wash detergent as a standalone one-step cleaner?
