The new formulation contains anionic and non-ionic surfactants to increase the product/grime interaction rate and hence the speed and efficiency of removal of oily or greasy residues from any surface. The improved formulation also holds particulate dirt particles in suspension, improving the overall cleaning efficiency. New improved S.O.C. also forms a stable emulsion with water, allowing complete and rapid cleaning of most surfaces, from intricate engine parts to concrete garage floors.
