Mafra C1 is a highly concentrated alkaline prewash detergent engineered specifically for use with foam lances and pressure washers. Unlike standard all purpose cleaners, C1 is formulated with high expansion surfactants that generate a thick and rich snow foam. This foam clings vertically to bodywork and maximizes dwell time to actively lift and suspend traffic film, grease, and dirt particles before you ever touch the paint with a wash mitt.
Designed for the professional detailer and the discerning enthusiast, C1 balances cleaning power with material safety. It effectively dissolves road grime without attacking delicate surfaces making it safe for use on anodized aluminum window trims, plastic moldings, and rubber seals.
Key Technical Features
- High Adhesion Foam Creates a dense shaving cream style foam that prevents rapid runoff allowing the chemical agents to break down dirt for longer.
- Material Safety Engineered to be safe on aluminum and chrome profiles which are common weak points for cheaper alkaline cleaners.
- Hard Water Stability Formulated with sequestering agents that allow it to foam and clean effectively even in areas with hard water preventing mineral spots.
- Easy Rinse The foam structure is designed to break down quickly under water pressure rinsing away cleanly without leaving streaks or residue.
How to Use and Dilutions
- Foam Lance: Dilute 1:3 to 1:5 (1 part product to 3 to 5 parts water) in your lance bottle. Adjust the air intake for desired foam thickness.
- Pump Sprayer: For a non foaming pre soak, dilute 1:50. (20ml product to 980ml water)
Why Choose C1?
It is the ideal first step in a safe wash process. By removing the majority of dirt in the prewash stage, C1 drastically reduces the risk of swirl marks during your contact wash.
