Frequently  Asked  Questions 

Is Fortis Foam PRO safe for car paint? +
Yes, when used at the recommended dilution (1:100–1:200) and contact time up to 3 minutes, PRO is completely safe for all types of automotive paint. Although the concentrate pH is 13.8, the working solution has pH 12 (at 1:100) or 11.7 (at 1:200), which is within the safe range.
What dilution should I use in winter? +
In winter, we recommend a stronger dilution of 1:100 to effectively remove heavier dirt, road salt, and deposits. In summer, 1:200 is sufficient for standard dirt.
Is PRO suitable for hand car washes? +
PRO is optimized for touchless car washes. For hand washes and detailing, we recommend Fortis Foam ECO with its gentler concentrate pH of 10.5 (working solution pH 8.3–8.5).
How many cars can I wash with 1 liter of concentrate? +
At 1:200 dilution, one liter of concentrate yields 200 liters of working solution, enough for approximately 65–100 cars depending on the dosing system.
How should I store Fortis Foam PRO? +
Store in original packaging at 5–30°C, away from direct sunlight. Shelf life: 36 months from production date.
