One Cleaner, Every Job
Impact's ultra-concentrated formula adjusts to whatever is in front of you. Spray it strong on a filthy chassis or dilute it right down for a fabric interior refresh - the same bottle covers both ends of the job without compromise.
Why Impact
Concentrated performance across every surface in your workflow
Dial from 1:1 for heavy contamination right down to 1:60 for extractor use - one product, every scenario.
Breaks down insect impacts, grease, brake dust and built-up dirt without prolonged dwell time.
Non-corrosive chemistry that is kinder to the environment without sacrificing cleaning power.
Safe on paint, wheels, chrome, engines, metals, upholstery and carpets in a single formulation.
Impact vs. Generic APC
Not all all-purpose cleaners are built the same. Here is how Impact stacks up against a typical budget APC on the factors that matter on a real detail job.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra-concentrated (dilutes to 1:60) | Yes | No |
| Removes waxes and sealants for panel prep | Yes | No |
| Eco-friendly, non-corrosive formula | Yes | No |
| Compatible with extractors and tornado machines | Yes | Yes |
| Safe on automotive paint | Yes | Yes |
| Safe for use on plastics and leather | No | No |
Professional Grade Chemistry
Impact's non-corrosive, eco-friendly formula is tough enough to strip wax residue and baked-on insect impacts, but safe enough to use on paint, upholstery and fabrics - giving professional detailers a single APC they can reach for across the whole job.
Reviews
Carpet and seat fabric on a client's bakkie were in a rough state - pet hair, mud, the lot. Mixed at 1:30, agitated with a stiff brush, extracted and the difference was night and day. Goes a long way at that dilution too.
Solid degreaser for wheel wells and engine bays. At 1:10 it clears grease buildup without a second pass. Knocked it to four stars only because you need to keep it away from any plastic trim - worth reading the instructions first.
Questions
Use a 1:1 ratio for the worst contamination - caked grease, heavy brake dust or a very dirty engine bay. Step down to 1:10 for general heavy-duty cleaning once the worst is off.
Yes. At the appropriate dilution it works well as a pre-wash or decon step on painted surfaces. Be aware that at higher concentrations it will strip existing waxes and sealants, so factor that into your process if you have protection you want to keep.
Impact is listed as safe on wheels and chrome. It is non-corrosive, but as with any cleaner, rinse thoroughly and avoid letting it dwell for extended periods, especially on bare or polished metal surfaces.
No. Vonixx specifically states Impact is not recommended for use on leather seats or interior and exterior plastics. Use a product formulated for those surfaces instead.
The moderate cleaning ratio of 1:30 is a good starting point for fabrics and upholstery. For maintenance-level fabric cleaning, 1:50 works well. After agitating with a soft brush, extract with a wet-vac and allow to dry fully before use.
Yes. Vonixx recommends up to 1:20 for tornado machines and up to 1:60 for water extractors. Always confirm your machine's compatibility with alkaline cleaners before use.
At higher dilutions Impact actively removes waxes and sealants, which makes it useful as a panel prep step before correction or coating. After use, rinse the surface well and confirm it is clean and residue-free before applying any coating or sealant.
At a 1:30 dilution for general cleaning, 1.5L of concentrate yields 45 litres of ready-to-use solution. At 1:10 for heavy-duty work you get 15 litres. The concentrate stretches significantly when you dial the ratio to suit the task.
