Operation SurfX: The All Purpose Cleaner for Interior and Exterior Missions

MISSION BRIEFING // SURFX

Every detailing mission requires the right equipment. But maintaining your vehicle's interior and exterior shouldn't mean reaching for a different chemical every time you encounter dirt, fingerprints, or road grime.

Meet SurfX — All Purpose Cleaner by Top Secret Formulas, a Pro-Grade, pH-neutral formula engineered for routine cleaning across multiple automotive surfaces.

From dirty dashboards and door panels to bug-splattered bumpers, wheels, and tires, SurfX delivers versatile cleaning power without the aggressive chemistry of a heavy-duty degreaser.

One formula. Multiple surfaces. Total mission flexibility.

Why Deploy SurfX?

Unlike specialty cleaners designed for one specific task, SurfX is engineered for both interior and exterior maintenance.

Its pH-neutral formula helps remove everyday contamination while leaving surfaces clean and natural rather than greasy or artificially shiny.

The mission advantages:

Interior Versatility: Removes fingerprints, body oils, dust, and everyday grime from compatible dashboards, door panels, consoles, plastics, and vinyl.
Exterior Cleaning: Helps loosen road film, fresh bug residue, light grease, and everyday dirt from exterior surfaces.
Wheel & Tire Maintenance: Removes fresh brake dust, road grime, and light tire contamination during routine washes.
Coating-Friendly Formula: Designed for routine cleaning of properly maintained ceramic-coated surfaces without aggressively stripping protection.
Adjustable Strength: Ready to use straight from the bottle or dilutable up to 4:1 for lighter maintenance tasks.
Clean Finish: Leaves behind a clean surface without the oily residue associated with dressing products.

One bottle. Multiple missions. Less clutter in your detailing arsenal.

Deployment Protocol: How to Use SurfX

Mission 01 // Interior Cleaning

Interior surfaces collect body oils, fingerprints, dust, and everyday contamination. A consistent cleaning routine helps keep these materials looking their best.

01 — PREPARE

Choose the appropriate microfiber towel or soft detailing brush. Test SurfX on an inconspicuous area when working with delicate or unfamiliar materials.

02 — APPLY

For controlled interior cleaning, spray SurfX onto a clean microfiber towel rather than directly onto dashboards, electronics, or sensitive trim.

03 — CLEAN

Gently wipe the surface to remove everyday grime. Use a suitable soft brush for textured plastics and tight areas when necessary.

04 — INSPECT

Check for remaining contamination and repeat where needed. For finished automotive leather, use conservatively and test compatibility before cleaning.

05 — DRY

Wipe the surface with a fresh microfiber towel to remove remaining moisture and residue.

FIELD NOTE: Avoid oversaturating upholstery, leather, electronics, or other moisture-sensitive areas. Some stains and delicate materials may require specialized cleaning methods.

Mission 02 // Exterior Cleaning

Road grime, bug residue, and light grease can accumulate on exterior surfaces between washes.

SurfX provides a convenient solution for targeted maintenance cleaning.

01 — IDENTIFY

Work on a cool surface away from direct sunlight.

02 — DEPLOY

Apply SurfX to the affected area, including compatible painted panels, bumpers, exterior trim, wheels, or tire sidewalls.

03 — AGITATE

Allow a brief working period where appropriate. Use a microfiber towel, wash mitt, or detailing brush suited to the surface and contamination.

04 — RINSE

Rinse the treated area thoroughly with clean water.

05 — VERIFY

Inspect the surface. Repeat the process if necessary, and never allow the cleaner to dry on the surface.

SurfX vs. GrymX: Which Cleaner Should You Use?

Not every detailing job requires the same cleaning strength.

SurfX — Routine Maintenance

Choose SurfX for regular wheel and tire cleaning, fresh brake dust, road film, and light contamination.

Its pH-neutral formula is designed for frequent maintenance when heavy-duty cleaning isn't necessary.

GrymX — Heavy-Duty Cleaning

When wheels and tires develop stubborn brake dust, old dressing buildup, or significant tire browning, a stronger cleaner may be appropriate.

GrymX Heavy Duty Wheel & Tire Cleaner is formulated for these more demanding cleaning operations.

The takeaway: Use SurfX for routine cleaning and GrymX when heavier contamination requires additional cleaning power.

One Cleaner. Adjustable Strength.

SurfX arrives ready to use, so there's no need to dilute it before your first cleaning mission.

However, the formula can also be diluted up to 4:1 according to the product directions for lighter maintenance applications.

This flexibility lets detailers adjust product usage based on the cleaning task.

For stubborn contamination, use the appropriate product strength and agitation method instead of assuming that every surface requires a heavy-duty chemical.

Complete the Mission: Clean, Then Protect

Cleaning removes contamination. Protection helps maintain the appearance of the surface afterward.

Once the area is properly cleaned and dried, consider the appropriate finishing product.

Exterior Protection // CeramX

For compatible exterior surfaces, CeramX Ceramic Sealant & Booster adds gloss, slickness, and hydrophobic protection.

Its 30% SiO₂ formula can serve as standalone ceramic protection or as a maintenance booster over an existing ceramic coating.

Apply only after the surface has been properly prepared, following the product's application and curing instructions.

Interior & Trim Protection // RevyvX

For compatible leather, vinyl, rubber, and plastic surfaces, RevyvX Ceramic LVRP Dressing provides a finishing step after cleaning.

Its ceramic-infused formula offers UV and anti-static protection with an adjustable appearance, from natural matte to a richer satin or gloss finish.

Clean with SurfX. Protect compatible surfaces with RevyvX.

Avoid applying dressing to steering wheels, pedals, screens, or other areas where added slickness is undesirable.
