Unit price perOxidation is the most common problem we all experience with any metal surface, including aluminum wheels or diamond rings, it’s the nature of exposed metal surfaces to oxidize and tarnish when exposed to the air.
3D Metal Polish is unique in the metal polish category because unlike the majority of other metal polishes on the market, our polish does not use harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, nor does it rely on old school abrasive technology to remove the oxidation.
The chemists at 3D Products started with the goal being how to remove oxidation and restore a brilliant mirror shine without dulling or scratching the surface in the process. They came up with a proprietary blend of chemical cleaners and an abrasive technology that can remove oxidation without at the same time leaving its own scratches behind in the surface. The result is a metal polish that can remove years of oxidation and tarnish while creating a better-than-new mirror shine.
With many metal polishes, you’ll smell the distinct foul odor of ammonia, this is the old school way of chemically attacking oxidation. Most metal polishes also use archaic abrasive technology which is cheap. Does this approach work? Yes and no. Sure, these types of products will remove oxidation and make metal shine, but simply an outdated process that will never produce the same or better results than 3D Metal Polish.

Unit price per- Quickly loosens and wipes away protein build up from bugs, insects, and tree sap
- Safe on paint, wax, clear coats, plastic, rubber, chrome, aluminum, windows, mirrors
- No scrubbing, simply spray and rinse away from surface
- Great for cars, RVs, boats, trucks, motorcycles, home or office use
One of the worst and most common problems we encounter while driving our vehicles are flying insects. It’s an unavoidable problem and for some geographical areas, you experience seasonal bug problems where millions of bugs hatch and then fly around as a part of their mating ritual.
Bug guts are acidic and when bugs impact onto your car’s paint finish, if not neutralized and removed in a timely manner, the acids are corrosive enough they will eat away portions of your car’s clearcoat paint and when this happens, the only true repair is to repaint the affected panels. Clear paint protection film or PPF, used on the front of cars to protect them from rock chips is even more prone to damage from the acids in bugs and for this reason it’s even more important to remove dried bug splatter as soon as possible.
3D Bug Remover is a professional grade product designed for professional detailers but safe enough for enthusiasts to use too. You can use this product as a stand-alone product meaning you can use it even if you’re not planning to wash the car. This makes it perfect for road trips because anytime you pull over for fuel, snacks, or lodging, you can use 3D Bug Remover with a few microfiber towels and remove all the dead bug bodies off the front of your car, windows, side mirrors, headlights, turn signal lights and front bumpers.
You can also use 3D Bug Remover as a pre-soak before washing your car. Simple spray 3D Bug Remover onto any surface with dead bugs and allow the product to work for 45 seconds or longer. Then wash these areas using a clean wash mitt and your favorite 3D car wash soap to remove the dead bug carcasses and bug gut splatter.
3D Bug Remover is safe for any surface and will not remove any pre-existing wax, sealant, or paint coatings. Unlike some bug removers, 3D Bug Remover will not leave a film behind on the surface but instead leaves the paint clean and glossy.
Bug splatter damage can be very costly to fix, for example, just to repaint the average passenger car hood can cost as little as $500.00 and can go even higher depending upon the make and model of the vehicle. A more cost-effective and pro-active remedy is to keep a bottle of 3D Bug Remover together with a collection of clean microfiber towels in a storage place in your vehicle and remove dead bugs and bug splatter as soon as possible anytime you pull off the road.

Unit price per- Premium ceramic coating surface prep
- Removes excess oils, lubricants, and residue from paint prior to applying ceramic coating
- Strengthens bind between paint and ceramic coating layer for longer lasting protection
- Simply spray and wipe small surface areas for proper preparation
This is a professional grade panel wipe
Generically these types of products are called panel wipes. As the name implies, you use these types of product to wipe down a panel. The idea being to chemically dissolve and remove any polishing oils or other substances left on the surface of car paint typically after any paint correction steps that have been performed.
Normal steps for a full exterior detail
When it comes to applying a conventional car wax or synthetic sealant, the normal steps include,
- Wash and dry the car.
- Clay the paint if there are any above surface bonded contamination detected via the Baggie Test.
- Compound and polish the paint to remove any below surface defects like swirls and scratches.
- Apply a car wax or synthetic paint coating.
After step 3, you can simply move onto the final step, which is applying a car wax or synthetic paint sealant without doing anything else to the paint. Just apply the wax or sealant, wait for it to dry to a haze, wipe off the dried product and you’re done.
With ceramic paint coatings – there’s an extra step
With a ceramic paint coating there is an EXTRA STEP required before installing the coating and this is the most important step because the product you use must be strong enough to remove any residual polishing oils or other substances but safe enough to prevent dulling or marring the paint.
The normal steps to install a ceramic coating include,
- Wash and dry the car.
- Clay the paint if there are any above surface bonded contamination detected via the Baggie Test.
- Compound and polish the paint to remove any below surface defects like swirls and scratches.
- Use a panel wipe to chemically strip each body panel to prep it for the coating.
- Install the ceramic coating section by section, panel by panel.
* Step 4 is the extra step. Herein lies the problem.
Clearcoat paints are scratch-sensitive - Generally speaking, modern clearcoat paints tend to be harder than traditional single stage paints like lacquers and enamels used before 1980. While most clearcoat paints are harder than old school paints, they still scratch very easy. And because the clearcoat is like a WINDOW to the color coat, (called the basecoat), any swirls, scratches, scuffs, or towel marring – shows up like a sore thumb. This is because when you scratch something clear, the scratch is opaque or whitish in color and any medium to dark colored basecoats will reflect these whitish scratches back to our eyes making them very easy to see.
Most solvents are not good lubricants - The historic problem with most panel wipe or paint surface prep sprays, are the solvents used to do the actual work of dissolving polishing oils and other foreign substances are NOT good lubricants.
Now let me tie this together - If you take a conventional panel wipe, (a product that’s not a good lubricant), and wipe down a scratch-sensitive clearcoat, it’s really easy and also very common for this process to put towel marring back into the paint you just invested hours into buffing to perfect. In case you don’t know, towel marring is the fluffy way to describe light towel scratches.
See the problem? You need to use a panel wipe to prep the paint for the coating but using the panel wipe risks putting scratches back into the paint.
So, after you've invested hours into doing all the prep work, this includes washing, drying, claying, compounding, and polishing, the paint is now PERFECT – and the next step is to take a panel wipe and scratch the paint. Not good.
Here’s the good news… 3D isn’t no conventional car wax company and 3D WIPE isn’t any old conventional panel wipe. It’s better because 3D’s chemists are the best in the industry.
3D WIPE is a pro-grade product that is formulated to strip the paint without marring the paint at the same time. 3D Wipe is a water-based panel wipe that uses highly refined and filtered water as a base. We use a reverse osmosis process to remove all the total dissolved solids out of the water. Why? Because the water is the foundation for the formula. For cleaning ability, 3D WIPE uses a proprietary blend of surfactants.
3D WIPE is both safe and effective. It’s strong enough to remove any oils or other substances that would interfere with the proper bonding of the 3D Ceramic Coatingto the paint but offers more than enough lubrication to prevent accidental towel marring. Plus – unlike most panel wipes, it’s safe for you, your skin and it smells great too.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.
What is it? - This is a panel wipe, which is a product used to chemically strip a paint surface before installing a ceramic paint coating.

Unit price per- Removes brake dust, iron oxidation, and fallout on car wheels and paint
- Great car wash prep spray to entirely decontaminate surface
- The more purple, the more BDX is working to remove iron oxide and fallout build up from surface
- Protect your surfaces for longer by getting rid of deepest contamination
3D BDX safely removes brake dust off your car’s wheels. It’s also a wide-spectrum chemical contamination remover for the exterior of your car painted body panels.
What is it? - 3D BDX is a spray-on product formulated to chemically dissolve and remove a wide spectrum of chemical contamination off the exterior of your car including wheels, body panels and other exterior surfaces. This product is specifically formulated to be safe on modern clearcoat finishes as well as all types of wheels, including painted, chrome, polished and coated aluminum. 3D BDX is Acid-Free, and pH balanced. 3D BDX is also VOC complaint, green technology and biodegradable making it an earth-friendly car detailing product.
Color Changing Effect - If contamination is present on the wheels or the painted body panels, there’s a chemical reaction that takes place when 3D BDX chemically dissolves the contamination. The visual appearance of this process is the 3D BDX (and the dissolved contamination), turn a dark, purple red color. This is a sign contamination is in fact present. The good news is by dissolving the contamination so that it can be flushed off with rinse water, you have stopped any corrosion taking place on the finish of your car’s wheels or on your car’s paint. Considering how thin modern car paint is – it’s important to keep it clean and contamination-free. After washing the car, you can move onto the next step knowing your car’s wheels and paint are clean and free from any chemical contamination.
What if I don’t see any color changing effect? - After spraying your car’s wheels or any of your car’s body panels, if you do not see any color changing taking place in the spray on the surface, this is even better news. It means there is no contamination and more important – this means there was no corrosion taking place on the finish of your car’s wheels or on the exterior paint. Believe it or not, even though everyone loves to see the color-changing effect, also called the bleeding-effect, it’s better for your wheels and paint to see nothing at all. And now you have the confidence to move onto the next step knowing your car’s wheels and paint are clean and free from any chemical contamination.
What does it do? - After spraying onto a surface, it seeks out and dissolves a wide spectrum of chemical contamination so that it can then be washed and/or rinsed off your vehicle’s wheels and/or body panels. Including,
- Brake Dust
- Iron Contamination
- Traffic Pollution
- Industrial Fallout
- Road Film
When do you use it? - For cleaning brake dust off your car’s wheels and also for chemically decontaminating the body panels that make up your car’s exterior.
Wheels - Use 3D BDX anytime you wash your car. Every time you use your brakes, the friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors creates brake dust as your brakes wear down with each use. This brake dust builds-up on your car’s wheels. Because wheels naturally become dirty with brake dust it’s normal to use a brake dust remover every time you wash your car regardless of the type of wash process you use.
Body Panels – the exterior of your car - There are two categories of car washing, Prep Wash and Maintenance Wash. Generally speaking, you only use 3D BDX when doing a Prep Wash and skip the 3D BDX step for body panels when doing a Maintenance Wash.
What’s the difference between a Prep Wash and a Maintenance Wash? - Great question, I’m glad you asked.
Prep Wash - A prep wash is where you are washing a neglected car to get it surgically clean before doing any paint correction steps. Paint correction steps can include things like,
- Mechanical decontamination with detailing clay or the 3D Nano Pad or 3D Nano Prep Towels.
- Dedicated compounding and polishing steps with 3D compounds and polishes
- Doing one-step paint correction with products like 3D SPEED.
When doing any type of paint correction, anything already on the surface of the painted body panels is going to be abraded off, conventional car waxes, synthetic paint sealants and ceramic paint coatings. For this reason, it’s recommended to use 3D BDX for a Prep Wash.
Maintenance Wash - A maintenance wash is a wash process intended to clean cars already detailed, in excellent condition and regularly maintained. As such, there’s less need for extreme cleaning processes and products like iron removers and chemical decontamination sprays. In fact, the whole point of a Maintenance Wash is to be as careful and NON-invasive as possible so as to avoid marring the paint during the process as well as preserving whatever the protective coating was chose to seal the paint surface, be it a ceramic coating, conventional car wax or synthetic paint sealant.
Body Panels - When doing a maintenance wash, the type of LSP or Last Step Product used on the painted body panels is a key deciding factor as to whether to use 3D BDX or not.
Cars with Ceramic Coatings - A quality ceramic coating properly installed is chemical resistant, at least a lot more chemical resistant than a conventional car wax or synthetic paint sealant. Thus, if you feel the need to check for or ensure there is no iron or chemical contamination on your car’s finish it’s perfectly okay to use 3D BDXon a ceramic coated car as the ingredients in this product will not interfere with the coating.
Cars with Conventional Car Waxes or Synthetic Paint Sealants - The downside to using conventional car waxes and synthetic paint sealants are they are not near as chemical resistant as a ceramic coatings. Thus, using iron removers and chemical contamination sprays will tend to remove these types of sacrificial protective coatings pre-maturely. It’s just the nature of the beast. So generally speaking, you don’t use iron removers when doing a maintenance wash on cars protected with car waxes and/or synthetic paint sealants.
Why use 3D BDX over other options? - Most iron removers are formulated for a single purpose and that is to remove iron or in scientific lingo, Fe or ferrum, which is Latin for iron.
3D BDX is a more complicated product. It’s formulated to safely dissolve and remove all types of iron contamination, which includes brake dust and dissolved iron in our water supplies, both city water and well water but 3D BDX goes further and also safely removes other common forms of chemical contamination on vehicles including, brake dust, iron contamination, traffic pollution, industrial fallout, and oily road film.
Summary
- 3D BDX can be used to wash and clean brake dust off wheels anytime you wash your car.
- 3D BDX can be used on body panels any time you’re doing a Prep Wash.
- 3D BDX should not be used for body panels when used as a part of a Maintenance Wash unless the car being washed has a ceramic coating.
- Removes Brake Dust.
- Removes Iron Contamination.
- Removes Industrial Fallout.
- Non-Acid – Safe on ALL wheels.
- Safe on Automotive Paint.

Description
The science behind why you want a high foaming upholstery and carpet shampoo
One of the reasons everyone enjoys buying a brand-new car is because it’s new, meaning the outside is clean and shiny and even more noticeable - the inside is so clean and sterile. No one else has soiled the seats, the arm rests, the steering wheel, the center console, or the carpets. Part of the reason the inside of a brand-new car feels luxurious is because it’s so fresh and clean. It’s a universal phenomenon that people from all walks of life, describe a new car as having that new car smell. And this is because – everything is still spic-and-span clean, kind of like an operating room in a hospital – everything looks and smells surgically clean.
It’s this clean factor, this overpowering perception that the inside of a new car is 100% completely clean and germ-free that makes getting into a new car so inviting, so welcoming. You want to get inside of a brand-new car because you know it’s so clean.
Sad news is, we can’t all simply go down to the dealership and buy a new car just because the inside of our current car loses that new car smell and starts to show signs of normal, day-in, day-out wear-n-tear.
What we can do is clean it. And the parts or areas of a car that get the dirtiest are any part or area that is made from some type of fabric, upholstery, or carpeting. Cleaning fabric, upholstery or carpeting is challenging because unlike smooth hard surfaces, where the dirt and grime is sitting on the surface and easy to wipe-off, with fabric, upholstery or carpeting, the dirt and grime can be both on the material and in the material.
Another difficult aspect of cleaning fabric, upholstery or carpeting is once any liquids penetrate past the outer surface, or get behind or under the surface of the material being cleaned – how do you then remove any excess moisture? You need to remove any liquids or moisture, or this can lead to the formation of mold and mildew where you cannot see it or reach it to clean it.
This is why we made 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Shampoo to be a high foaming cleaner. Foam is basically suds or bubbles. Bubbles are the product (a liquid) enveloped around pockets of air and it is these foam bubbles that sit on TOP of the surface where you want them so you can work them against the surface of the material and then wipe-off the residues.
This simple foam structure of the cleaner helps you to effectively clean the material while avoiding getting too much liquid into whatever is behind the surface of the fabric, upholstery, or carpeting.
In the case of cloth seats, there is foam cushioning under the top layer of fabric. Foam absorbs liquids. If you put a straight liquid cleaner on to the surface of a cloth-covered foam seat, a lot of the liquid will saturate past the cloth surface and go into the foam. Now the problem becomes, how can you get this liquid it out? Unremoved liquids are what can lead to mold and mildew issues inside your car’s seats. This same principal applies to carpets and even cloth-covered door panels, arm rests or center consoles.
When it comes to cleaning any type of fabric by hand – you want a high foaming cleaner so the cleaner will sit on the top surface. And that’s the science behind 3D’s high foaming Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner.
Besides the high foaming feature, 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner uses 3D’s green technology to create a wide-spectrum cleaner that can tackle just about any dirt, grime, or stain that’s common to car interiors. This wide-spectrum cleaner also includes a proprietary bacterial enzyme, which completely eliminates foul odors, not just mask them over cover them up.
And to really add some zing to the clean, we included what are known in chemistry jargon optical brighteners. These optical brighteners working with the cleaners, restore a crisp, richness-of-color to the pigments and dyes used to give your car it’s unique color scheme.
And 3D’s chemists didn’t stop there, they also made sure this product leaves a residue-free surface to avoid future dirt build-up.
If you want your car’s interior to look, feel and smell like a brand-new car, use 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner to hand-clean any cloth, fabric, carpet, or upholstery. You can even use it to wipe down hard, non-absorbing surfaces like vinyl and modern coated leather.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.
What is it? - Foaming upholstery, fabric, and carpet cleaner
What does it do? - Cleans carpet, fabrics, and upholstery by removing ground-in dirt, grime, food stains, liquid spills, pet stains, cosmetic stains, skin lotions stains and body oils.
When do you use it? - After first thoroughly vacuuming and removing any loose dirt and debris out of weave of fabrics, carpeting and textiles.
Why use 3D Upholstery & Carpet Shampoo over other options? - This high foaming carpet and upholstery cleaner keeps the cleaning foam on the surface where you want it, not simply soaking and saturating into and under the surface where you don’t want it. Powerful cleaning agents, optical brighteners, and bacterial enzyme odor eliminators clean while restoring a factory new bright appearance with a residue-free, fresh lemon scent.
Diluting 3D Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner
3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner is sold as a concentrate. Before using this product, you must dilute it. The dilution ratio for general cleaning is a ratio of 1:16 – or 1 part concentrate to 16 parts water. The number 16 in the expressed ratio is the ratio number.
Dilution Formula
When using U.S. Standard ounces as our unit of measure, a dilution formula is expressed like this, Final volume divided by ratio number = ounces to add to final volume container.
Dilution for a 32-ounce spray bottle
To figure out a dilution level to make a 32-ounce bottle of ready-to-use product, here’s the formula. 32 divided by ratio number = number of ounces to add to 32-ounce bottle. To correctly mix 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner at a ratio of 1:16 the equation would look like this, 32 divided by 16 = 2 ounces per 32-ounce bottle.
Dilution for a 1-gallon jug
Using the same above formula, only substituting 128 ounces for 32 ounces but still using 16 as the ratio number, the dilution equation would look like this, 1-gallon = 128 ounces. 128 divided by ratio number = ounces per gallon.
To correctly mix 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner at a ratio of 1:16 the equation would look like this, 128 divided by 16 = 8 ounces per gallon.
In simple terms, using a clean, 1-gallon mixing container, you add 8 ounces of upholstery & carpet cleaner concentrate and then fill the rest of the container with clean water and mix thoroughly. This will make 1-gallon of ready-to-use upholstery & carpet cleaner at a 1:16 dilution ratio.
Next you will want to pour this mixture into a clean spray bottle. To create a thick foam, you’ll also want a foaming spray head. A normal spray head will not work as well as a foaming spray head.

Directions
IMPORTANT: Always work on a cool surface in the shade.
Professional Technique Tip – Dry Extraction - Always start by vacuuming any upholstery or carpet to be cleaned. This is called dry extraction. The idea is to remove as much of any loose dirt possible by lifting it out of or off of the surface. By removing dry, loose dirt first – you don’t risk liquefying this dirt with your spray liquid cleaner and then having to remove it. It’s easier, faster, and more effective to remove loose dirt via air extraction or even via blowing out the fabric, carpet, or upholstery with compressed air than it is to remove it once it’s wet.
Step 1: After vacuuming, spray 3D Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner directly onto surface to be cleaned and immediately scrub the surface with a horsehair or textile brush.
Step 2: Use a clean, absorbent cotton terrycloth towel or absorbent microfiber towel and wipe and blot the cleaner and any emulsified dirt off of and/or out of the surface. Repeat this step switching to a fresh, dry towel often to absorb and remove as much residue as possible.
Step 3: Re-vacuum surface to lift out any remaining residues and then give the surface a final wipe with a dry towel.
Step 4: After all interior surfaces have been cleaned, wiped and/or blotted dry, place an air mover, or fan inside car and turn to the highest setting. Roll windows down about 1 inch so the air mover or fan can circulate air in and out of the car to evaporate and remove any remaining moisture. Run fan for at least one hour in normal ambient temperatures and humidity. Longer for colder, moist climates.

- Quickly loosens and rinses dirt and road film from paint
- Wash your car anywhere, anytime fast and easy
- High lubrication reduces chances for marring or swirls
The best way to wash any car is with a source of running water, like a traditional bucket wash where you have free-flowing water from a garden hose. The thing is, we don’t all have access to running water all the time and in some cases, a waterless wash is a better and even a greener solution.
A lot of people don’t know this, but 3D introduced the very first waterless wash in the car care industry. Our 3D Waterless Car Wash was introduced before most people even understood the concept. This is because here at 3D one of our foundational goals is to create environmentally friendly products. Together with our slogan, do more with less and detailing made simple, our chemists continually strive to create state-of-the-art formulas that meet and exceed these goals.
Because our corporate headquarters and U.S. manufacturing plant is in Santa Clarita, California, we understand how precious our water resources are and thus this inspired us to create the first waterless wash.
3D Foaming Waterless Car Wash takes our original product, 3D Waterless Wash to a higher and foamier level. This new version (of the original) gives you all the cleaning power you need PLUS when used with a pump-up foam sprayer or any spray bottle with a quality foaming spray head, the high-foaming formula will create a thick, rich layer of waterless car wash foam over any surface you need to clean.
The cleaning ingredients go right to work dissolving and emulsifying surface dirt and road grime. As these soils are penetrated, they are lifted outwards and suspended in the foam, which at its core are simply millions of tiny bubbles. These tiny bubbles hold the suspended dirt and grime away from the surface enabling you to wipe them off safely thus reducing the potential for any marring, swirls or scratches.
The thick, rich, creamy foam offers excellent lubrication between your microfiber towel and the surface being cleaned to cushion the wiping action while you remove the foam and all the dirt along with it. 3D Foaming Waterless Wash is the next best thing to a traditional hose and bucket car wash.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.
What is it? - Waterless car wash formulated to create a foam as it’s sprayed from a bottle or pump-sprayer.
What does it do? - Cleans your car safely by lubricating the surface with a rich, thick layer of foamy waterless car wash.
When do you use it? - Anytime you want to clean your car and you don’t have access to running water or prefer to not use running water or other car wash options.
Why use 3D Foaming Waterless Car Wash over other options? - Here at 3D, we make our own products. We have our own Research & Development Laboratory staffed with our own in-house chemists who are top in their fields of expertise. We can create new and unique formulas and test them multiple times in a single day tweaking them as we go until we have a perfect product.
Other brands simply are NOT manufacturers and must rely on outside companies and thus are at the mercy of a middleman for both the quality and availability of any category of product. Most, if not all other product manufacturing farms don’t have the ability to create, test, get the feedback and make changes in a single day and in most cases, it requires MONTHS.
This is the leverage 3D has over all the competition and a valuable benefit to you when you buy from the real deal, the actual manufacturer of the product.
No matter what the category, if 3D creates a product – it’s guaranteed to dominate the competition on price and performance. You have our name on it.
Waterless washes are real time savers and the perfect answer for those times when you don’t have the option to wash your car any other way – 3D’s Foaming Waterless Wash is the ultimate option waterless wash option and after you use it just one time, you’ll know why this product is so popular among professional detailers and car enthusiasts around the world.

Drier cleaning from rich, thick foam spray
Foam is basically suds or bubbles. Bubbles are the product (a liquid) enveloped around pockets of air and it is these foam bubbles that sit on TOP of the surface where you want them so you can work them against the surface of the material and then wipe-off the residues.
This simple foam structure of the cleaner helps you to effectively clean the material while avoiding getting too much liquid into whatever is behind the surface of the fabric, upholstery, or carpeting.
In the case of cloth seats, there are foam cushions under the top layer of fabric. Foam absorbs liquids. If you put a straight liquid cleaner on to the surface of a cloth-covered foam seat, a lot of the liquid will saturate past the cloth surface and go into the foam. Now the problem becomes, how can you get this liquid it out? Unremoved liquids are what can lead to mold and mildew issues inside your car’s seats. This same principal applies to carpets and even cloth-covered door panels, arm rests or center consoles.
When it comes to cleaning any type of fabric by hand – you want a high foaming cleaner so the cleaner will sit on the top surface. And that’s the science behind 3D’s aerosol Foaming Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner.
What is it?
Carpet and upholstery cleaner that is thick and foamy due to the pressurized aerosol can delivery method.
What does it do?
Cleans carpet, fabrics, and upholstery by removing ground-in dirt, grime, food stains, liquid spills, pet stains, cosmetic stains, skin lotions stains and body oils.
When do you use it?
After first thoroughly vacuuming and removing any loose dirt and debris out of weave of fabrics, carpeting and textiles.
Why use 3D Aerosol Foaming Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner over other options?
This high foaming aerosol carpet and upholstery cleaner comes out of the can as a rich, thick creamy foam and it’s this characteristic that keeps the cleaning foam on the surface where you want it, not simply soaking and saturating into and under the surface where you don’t want it.
The aerosol delivery system enables you to clean the surface of fabrics, upholstery, and carpet without saturating these things or what’s under them with liquid that cannot be easily removed.
