Basically, this is cleaning a vehicle without needing to brush, sponge or rub. The Chemical does all the hard work for you. You need to ensure that you use the power of the water in your Power Hose to dislodge the road film. The chemical reduces the grip of the dirt from the paintwork, it doesn’t dissolve the dirt. The dirt and road film loses its “attraction” to the surface and is much easier to remove with your Power wash. You can still rub if you want to, however in most cases you will not need to. We do however recommend in the worst weather months you can brush or sponge about every fourth wash (i.e. once per month if washing once per week) This help the chemical do its job. The whole key is not to touch the vehicle or rub with your fingers immediately after you wash, as you will leave finger marks, Allow the vehicle to dry and you will have a streak free, gleaming shine. If this is not the case, you are getting some part of the process wrong, please see the article about “the sinners circle” to find out what part of the jigsaw you are missing.

Happy customers are both loyal customers and they then recommend us and our products to others.
You are always encouraged to dilute Cargo 4,100 with 4 parts water before you apply via a foaming bottle or via your power washer injector lance etc. This is a highly concentrated product and should never be used neat on a vehicle. If you are using a standard spray bottle, or back sprayer to apply, you should dilute at a rate of 1% product to 99% water. If you are removing heavy brake dust, you should dilute at a rate of 10% and apply via a standard spray bottle, before power washing off.
We recommend that you do not allow the foam to dry on your vehicle (which is much the same for most other chemicals for washing vehicles). We encourage you to store the product away from the direct sunlight and from the frost in winter.
We recommend that you leave the product on the vehicle for 2 – 3 minutes and then power wash off with either a hot or cold power washer. Use the water lance as your broom, working upwards from the bottom to the top in sideways motion, ensuring that you hose every part of the vehicle. Some people have told us that they visualise a wooden timber fence in their mind, with horizontal laths. In their mind, they separate the vehicle into different sections of the fence fand they are spray painting a fence, from the bottom upwards which ensures that every square inch of the vehicle is washed. When you have all washed, then rinse the vehicle down. from top to bottom. Allow the vehicle to dry, without touching it, and you should have an immaculately clean machine.
On your foam gun, you will either have 5 different settings or a screw nozzle which either increases or decreases the dilution rate coming from you foam bottle. Standard washing of a vehicle is usually done at nick number 1 (which is 2% on a Suttner ST73 foamer). If you have a vehicle very badly soiled, dirty with dirt ground in for approx 3 – 6 months, simply turn up your settings to the mid-point. This increases the dilution rate to approx 5% product and 95%water coming through your foam lance. This becomes much more active and increases the power of the product.
If you want to use as an oil remover or as a degreaser, then turn your foamer up to setting number 5 or open the valve out to the maximum. This increases the % to approx 10% product and 90% water. This should remove most oils and greases (within reason ).
If you need a stronger product to remove grease, you could purchase our Kenotek Power degreaser, which requires a hot wash power washer. Kenotek Cargo 4,100 will work very effectively with either cold or hot wash.
When washing a vehicle using conventional methods you firstly apply soap / foam, wash using a sponge or a brush and then rinse off with water from the top to the bottom.
Contactless washing is a bit different.
Soap / foam is applied through a high pressure foamer and then high-pressure water is used as a “sponge or a brush”. The water is worked back into fresh soap, either from the bottom to the top or backwards in the case of trucks and trailers etc. In this way, the soap is used more efficiently. (If you wash from the top down, you will simply wash the soap off the vehicle which defeats the purpose).
Then rinse from the top down to finish the cleaning process.
Yes. Cargo 4100 is compatible with vehicles that have been treated with Ceramic Coatings. Kenotek are a manufacturer of a range of Ceramic Coatings that are very highly respected within the Valeting industry Globally. We have designed a product called “Ceramic Boost” which adds to your protective coating which lasts for an additional 6 months. We have also designed another product, called Ceramic Wash, which contains polymers and Sio2, which guarantee a protection of 4 weeks, resulting in a long-lasting shine and protection after every wash.
Like all chemicals, if the dilution rates and instructions are followed as per manufacturers recommendation, Cargo 4100 is compatible with Ceramic Coatings. This is one of the main reasons that our products are a preferred choice at many of the larger Car Washing facilities across Europe. Vehicle care is our business.
