Full Description

SONAX Actifoam Energy 1 Litre (Article Number: 06183000) is a concentrated, high-foaming shampoo formulated for use as a snow foam pre-wash, foam lance cleaner or hand wash shampoo. Designed with a pH-balanced blend, it is tough on road grime yet gentle on wax, sealants and ceramic coatings, making it suitable for both maintenance washes and heavy-duty cleaning.

When applied through a foam lance or pressure sprayer, SONAX Actifoam Energy creates a thick, stable foam blanket that clings to the surface. This foam encapsulates dirt and traffic film, lifting it from the paintwork and reducing the risk of swirl marks during contact washing. Thanks to its safe formulation, it can be used frequently without stripping protective layers.

Dilution Ratios:

  • Foam Lance / Pressure Washer: Mix 30-100 ml of Actifoam Energy per 1 Litre of water, depending on the level of soiling.
  • Pump Sprayer / Pre-Wash: Use 1:10 dilution for effective traffic film removal.
  • Hand Wash (Bucket Method): Add 50 ml to 10 Litres of warm water for a lubricated, safe contact wash.

This flexibility makes Actifoam Energy suitable for year-round use. For winter road grime and heavily soiled vehicles, a stronger mix ensures maximum cleaning power. For weekly maintenance washes, lighter dilutions provide safe, economical use.

The product also features the SONAX “Energy” fragrance, giving every wash a fresh, invigorating scent. Packaged in a 1 Litre bottle, it delivers excellent value for both home users and professional detailers who need reliable, repeatable results.

Key Features:

  • Article Number: 06183000 for easy reference
  • Creates dense, clinging foam for maximum dwell time
  • Adjustable dilution ratios for foam lances, pump sprayers and buckets
  • Safe on waxed, sealed and ceramic-coated paintwork
  • Effectively removes dirt, traffic film and light oil residues
  • Helps prevent swirl marks during the wash process
  • Fresh SONAX “Energy” fragrance for an enjoyable wash
  • 1 Litre size ideal for regular detailing or trade use

Keep it away from eyes and out of reach of children, and store it upright out of direct sunlight.
