How to Apply
Read the entire label before use and always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations.
- Prepare: switch off the engine and all electrical installations, then remove the cabin air filters and any other filter systems.
- Fit the hose: shake the can well and attach the extension tube to the nozzle.
- Spray: insert the tube about 30 cm into the air inlet of the air conditioning system and spray until the system is full of foam.
- Wait: allow at least half an hour; the foam discharges through the air conditioning drain.

- Ensure the engine and all electrical installations are switched off before spraying.

- Aerosol cans will conduct electricity. Keep away from all live electrical sources including battery terminals, solenoids, electrical panels and other electronic components. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious injury from flash fire and/or electrical shock.
- First aid, swallowed: avoid giving milk, oils or alcohol. Skin: flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available), remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream, do not use solvents, and seek medical attention in the event of irritation. Eyes: immediately hold the eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously for at least 15 minutes with fresh running water, ensuring complete irrigation by keeping the eyelids apart and away from the eye and occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids, then transport to hospital or doctor without delay. Inhaled: remove to fresh air, lay the patient down, keep warm and rested.
