Truck & Marine Care

Keeping marine vessels and trucks clean requires products that can handle tough grime, salt, and road dirt effectively. Repco stocks specialised wash products like Chemtech CT18 and CT20, designed to make cleaning easier and more efficient for both professionals and everyday users.

Chemtech CT18 – Heavy Duty Truck Wash

Chemtech CT18 is formulated specifically for heavy-duty truck cleaning. It tackles grease, oils, and dirt that build up from long hours on the road. Its blend lifts grime without damaging vehicle paint or trim, making it suitable for regular use on trucks, trailers, and machinery.

This product works well in both manual washing and pressure washer setups. It’s especially useful when dealing with stubborn residues like road tar or diesel stains. Using CT18 regularly helps maintain the truck’s appearance and can make inspections easier by removing build-up that might hide potential issues.

Chemtech CT20 – Marine Wash

Chemtech CT20 is suitable for trucks but also marine environments, where salt, algae, and water stains are common challenges. This wash is gentle enough to protect boat surfaces, including fibreglass, painted finishes, and metal parts, while still being strong enough to remove salt deposits, bird droppings, and grime from docks or trailers.

The CT20 formula helps prevent corrosion, which is a particular concern for vessels exposed to saltwater and humidity. It can be applied by hand or through pressure washers, making it flexible depending on the washing setup available. Regular use extends the life of marine equipment while keeping it presentable.

Practical Tips for Using Wash Products

When washing trucks or boats, always start with a rinse to remove loose dirt. Apply the wash product according to the instructions, allowing it a few minutes to break down grime before rinsing thoroughly. Avoid washing in direct sunlight to reduce quick drying that can leave water spots.

Using soft brushes or wash mitts helps prevent scratches, and regularly changing washing water stops contaminants from scratching surfaces. For pressure washers, keep the nozzle at a safe distance and angle to protect paint and components.

Choosing the Right Product

Chemtech CT18 and CT20 cover two specific and often demanding cleaning needs at Repco. Selecting the right one depends on the environment and material being cleaned. Both products offer practical solutions without introducing unnecessary complexity, making them reliable options for maintaining vehicles and marine craft.
