Stain Cleaner, re-launched: new label, new sizes, new price!

Another product from the Soft99 range has been given a fresh start: Stain Cleaner – the super-versatile spray for cleaning almost anything on the outside of a car – now has a new label, is available in new sizes, and rounds it all off with a new, lower price.

We've recently seen "re-launches" of the refreshed Glaco De Cleaner, Iron Terminator and Luxury Gloss. Stain Cleaner has now joined that distinguished group – a multi-purpose alkaline cleaning product. Here's what you should know about it.

New label

The front label of Stain Cleaner features new distinguishing elements: a yellow stripe and the Japanese kanji characters nihonryū, 日本流 – meaning "Japanese style" or "Japanese way." Thanks to a metallic printing technique, this part of the label catches the light pleasingly, so you'll be able to spot the Soft99 product from a distance!

On the back, we've described how to use the product. There isn't much to it, because Stain Cleaner is exceptionally straightforward to use. In total, several language versions have been released across European markets – from Polish, English and German to Spanish, Finnish and even Icelandic!

The product itself comes in an elegant white bottle, similar to the previous version. It's complemented by a high-quality trigger sprayer that turns the product into a fine mist and distributes it in a circular pattern, with no drips or runs.

Ruthless on insects and dirt

Insect residue, bird droppings and other organic contamination? Stain Cleaner helps you deal with them quickly – it's simply indispensable for any kind of organic contamination. If a bird has left an unwelcome surprise on your paintwork or glass, apply it directly to the spot, wait approximately 30 seconds, then wipe the area with a microfibre cloth. But Stain Cleaner's usefulness doesn't end there.

The product also works brilliantly as a pre-wash aid. In this case, rather than applying it to a single spot, you apply it to specific areas – and if the situation calls for it, you can spray the entire front of the car. Left on the paintwork this way, Stain Cleaner will dissolve dirt across a large surface, making the whole car washing process significantly easier. The only downside is faster product consumption – which is precisely why we've created the larger sizes, more on which below.

We gave a small demonstration of what Stain Cleaner can do in our How to Apply guide, removing dried insect residue from the bodywork of a white BMW 4 Series.

How to use Stain Cleaner?

Stain Cleaner is a straightforward product to use, but it's still worth knowing how to get the most out of it. Bear in mind that it's an alkaline product with a pH of 9.5 – don't leave it on the vehicle for too long. It's better to apply it several times than to overdo it!

The product also works well alongside accessories: don't be afraid to spread it with a detailing brush or a microfibre cloth.

	Tip
	Never apply the product in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.

	Tip
	For stubborn deposits and/or unpainted surfaces, work the product into a foam using a brush or other accessory, then rinse away the residue with pressurised water or wipe off with a soft microfibre cloth.

New sizes

Stain Cleaner isn't just for the everyday car owner! We've expanded the range with canisters: the smaller holds 5 litres, and the larger a full 20 litres. These sizes are a European standard in the world of car care.

Who are the new versions aimed at? Primarily anyone who regularly works on car washing. The new Stain Cleaner canisters will find a home in car washes, detailing studios, dealerships, used car forecourts, garages, and lorry and trailer service and maintenance facilities. In short, we're extending a helping hand to the professionals!

New price

For many people, price is the deciding factor when it comes to a good car care product. We understand that, which is why we've reduced the price of Stain Cleaner to just 15.99 EUR for the 500 ml version!

It's a significant change, and a gesture of appreciation towards our European users.

Summary

We hope the refreshed Stain Cleaner will win you over. Adding this product to your decontamination process or paint preparation before protection will certainly pay off handsomely. Safe, fast and easy removal of stubborn dirt is now easier than ever!
