Transportation Exterior cleaning

A train breaks down here, a bus needs repairs there. Short-term schedule changes are part of everyday life for bus and train operators—and they also pose a challenge for your tasks. Either there is less time available for washing, or it is delayed, so you have to deal with heavier soiling efficiently and gently at the same time. After all, material compatibility remains one of the most important concerns in maintaining the functionality and value of vehicles. 

In such cases, in addition to our classic acidic and alkaline vehicle exterior cleaners, you can rely on the sustainable, neutral products of our PUROL N system. These innovative, ecological exterior cleaners with enhanced performance wash completely neutrally. Thanks to their environmentally friendly ingredients, all products in the PUROL N system are also certified with the renowned Nordic Ecolabel (Nordic Swan Ecolabel).

What does this mean for you?
The vehicles are cleaned without the use of acids or alkalis, and their value is preserved thanks to the pH-neutral formula. Biodegradable ingredients protect the environment and wastewater treatment requires fewer additives. Together, we can tackle even your toughest challenges with ease.
