Concentrated alkaline cleaner and degreaser for stubborn road film on trucks and equipment.
Sizes, instructions & ordering →Thunderbolt or Hellcat?
Both are alkaline truck-wash detergents. Choose for your water, soil and application system.
Ver-tech Labs
Hellcat
High-pH truck wash detergent formulated for polished and stainless metals.
Sizes, instructions & ordering →Water hardness
Ver-tech lists Thunderbolt for 0–10 grains and Hellcat for 0–20 grains. Check your water rather than assuming a stronger mix will solve hardness problems.
Application matters
Thunderbolt has separate high-pressure, brush and Foam Maxx dilution guidance. Hellcat lists touch-free, debugger and degreasing dilutions. Follow the exact product instructions; ratios for different application systems are not interchangeable.
Both are manufacturer-listed alternatives for the second step after Citric Clean. Review the two-step path.
