Touchless Pro 1 FAQs

Total Brite 2. Apply Touchless Pro 1 first, then foam Total Brite 2 directly over it before Step 1 dries, and finish with a high-pressure rinse.
How do I run Touchless Pro 1 through a soap injector?
Pre-mix 40% Touchless Pro 1 with 60% water in a separate container and drop your draw tube in. Use our Soap System Calculator to find the right metering tip for your pressure washer.
Is Touchless Pro 1 safe on polished aluminum?
Yes. It is rated polish-safe at the recommended dilution when it is not allowed to dry and is rinsed thoroughly.
What is the difference between Touchless Pro 1 and Touchless Pro 100?
Touchless Pro 100 is Touchless Pro 1 pre-diluted to the same 40% working strength, so it draws straight from the drum with no pre-mix.
