FAQ

Can I use Green Star in a foam cannon?

Yes, but stay within the recommended ratios. Start at 1:10 and rinse thoroughly to avoid streaking.

What does the VDA Class A note mean?

It limits maximum strength to 1:3 and dwell time to five minutes on sensitive automotive finishes. Always rinse before the dwell limit.

Is Green Star safe on floor sealants?

Test an inconspicuous area first. The 1:80 mix is usually safe on epoxy or sealed concrete when rinsed promptly.
