Why Use Gtechniq W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner?
Unlike traditional all purpose cleaners, W5 Citrus is a safer choice with a concentrated formula that can be adjusted for light cleaning or heavy-duty cleaning. Use full strength on stubborn brake dust or stubborn dirt, or dilute up to 10:1 (10 parts water, 1 part product) for general cleaning on door panels, vinyl, and floor mats. For professional detailers and car enthusiasts alike, W5’s versatile cleaner is safe on delicate surfaces, won’t degrade coatings, and leaves no sticky residue. Pair with a microfiber cloth, applicator pad, or spray bottle for a streak-free finish that enhances the look of your vehicle surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner be used on leather seats?
Yes, but it can be strong for leather - so for routine maintenance, we recommend using the I2 Tri-Clean. W5 is safe for leather seats when diluted properly. Use a microfiber towel to gently wipe down interior surfaces without stripping natural oils.
Is W5 safe for use in a body shop?
Absolutely. W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner is safe for body shops, as it contains no harmful residues that can interfere with paintwork or coatings.
How do I dilute W5 for different cleaning needs?
- Full strength for engine compartments, wheels, and brake dust - 5:1 dilution for door panels and stubborn dirt - 10:1 dilution for light cleaning on vinyl, leather, and interior surfaces
Will W5 work as a wheel cleaner?
Yes! W5’s superior foaming action makes it a wheel cleaner that effectively removes road grime without damaging the finish. However, it will not remove embedded brake dust, so for similar and tougher tasks, we recommend the W6 Iron Removing Wheel & Paint Cleaner.
