Bilt-Hamber Laboratories introduces Phat-Neut®, a breakthrough pH-neutral (pH 7) multi‑mode “rinse-less” vehicle cleaner engineered to remove real‑world road film more effectively than traditional alkaline or caustic traffic film removers, while remaining safe on all vehicle surfaces.
Unlike conventional rinse-less washes shampoos and neutral cleaners that trade safety for reduced cleaning power, Phat-Neut®delivers genuine traffic‑film removal without solvents, salts, or aggressive alkalinity. Use as a rinseless wash, pump, trigger or pressure washer applied pre‑wash, wheel cleaner, or targeted contamination remover for insects, bird lime, and general road grime.
At the core of Phat-Neut® is Lift‑Mode® Technology, initiated by low surface tension that enables encapsulation of contamination, and lifting it away from the surface rather than chemically attacking the substrate. This allows heavy soil to be removed safely from paint, coatings, plastics, rubber, aluminum, glass, and sensitive finishes without marring or degradation. This method is distinctly different from either caustic high-power cleaners or gimmick based flocculating rinse-less washes. Flocculation chemically forces smaller particles to clump together – its used to clear treatment water at a water treatment works and while the effect looks impressive for a waterless wash as the bucket “water” is clear, and indeed BH made trial formulations, it is not appropriate for these products. The flocculation begins even on the painted surface and the formation of large, agglomerated masses dragged across the paint by a sponge is not desirable. Rather a RW should properly encapsulate particles, surround them and suspend. The longer this can occur the safer the paint. Correct surfactant blends are the key.
Phat-Neut® also employs a unique optional Dry‑On® Mode, where the product is intentionally allowed to dry on the surface. As water evaporates, Lift-Mode® cleaning activity intensifies, further breaking the bond between road film and the surface before being wiped or rinsed away. This makes Phat-Neut® exceptionally effective in warm conditions and panels (even up to 50 °C), or where water availability is limited.
With no hazard or precautionary labelling and full compatibility with waxes, sealants, and ceramic coatings, Phat-Neut® redefines what is achievable from a pH‑neutral cleaner.
How to Use
Optimum method for vehicles with dirty lower panels
For a vehicle with heavy dirt on the lower panels, wheels and sills, and lighter contamination on the upper
panels, use a combined Dry-On® and Lift-Mode® process.
1. Test first
Use the Dry-On® suitability test on the dirty lower panels or target area.
Only proceed with Dry-On® if the dirt film is heavy and absorbent enough for the drop to spread into the contamination.
2. Pre-treat the dirtiest areas with Dry-On®
Apply Phat-Neut® at 2-4% to wheels and heavily soiled lower panels.
Allow it to visibly dry into the dirt film.
3. Treat the upper panels with Lift-Mode®
Then apply Phat-Neut® to the upper panels using Lift-Mode®.
Work from the upper panels downwards, applying over the Dry-On® pre-treated areas as you come down the vehicle.
4. Rinse or continue with bucket wash
For best results, pressure wash or rinse immediately after the wet application of Phat-Neut® has been applied.
Where pressure rinsing is not available, the dirt will now be very loose. Rinse at low pressure if possible, then clean using the Phat-Neut® bucket method to remove the released dirt film safely and fully. If low pressure rinsing is not available, the bucket method will still be much safer than alternative wash methods.
How to use Dry-On® correctly
1. Shake and mix properly
Shake the bottle well for 10 seconds before use.
After adding Phat-Neut® to water, mix or shake the dilution vigorously for 20 seconds. Phat-Neut® is highly concentrated and must be fully dispersed before application.
2. Apply to heavy dry dirt film
Use 2-4% dilution, equivalent to 1:50 to 1:25.
Apply using a pump sprayer, preferably, or a trigger spray.
Apply only to heavy dry dirt film. Do not apply Dry-On® mode to clean or lightly soiled areas.
3. Allow to visibly dry into the dirt film
Allow Phat-Neut® to visibly dry into the dirt film.
This drying stage is what increases cleaning power. The product should be drying into contamination, not onto bare exposed finish.
4. Rinse immediately after drying
Once visibly dry, rinse immediately.
Pressure rinsing is preferred. Where pressure rinsing is not available, low-pressure rinsing may be used, followed by the bucket-stage wash to remove the released dirt film safely and fully.
5. Continue with the normal wash if required
After rinsing, continue with a normal wash or rinseless bucket stage if required.
For rinseless washing, use Phat-Neut® at 0.4% in the bucket, or 0.5% where extra lubrication is wanted. Do not use Dry-On® during the rinseless wash stage.
Why Dry-On® is different
Most neutral-pH cleaners rely heavily on contact, agitation, or weak surfactant cleaning. Phat-Neut® is designed to remove real exterior traffic film at neutral pH using very low surface tension and lubricious encapsulation.
Lift-Mode® helps wet, lift and isolate contamination from the surface.
Dry-On® extends the cleaning action in heavy dirt film, allowing Phat-Neut® to work deeper into the contamination before rinsing.
This is why Dry-On® should be tested on genuine traffic film, not artificial dirt, interior trim, or subjective foam/slickness comparisons.
