All aluminum, ceramic, acrylic plastic, and painted steel coupons were pre weighed and had one half of a gram of Vehicle Dirt soil (45% lithium grease, 39% motor oil, and 16% bike dirt) distributed onto each coupon. Three coupons of every substrate were designated to each respective cleaner. The dirty weights were recorded; three coupons of the same substrate were aligned into a Single Line Washing Unit (SLW) with Wypall X60 attached to each cleaning sled. The Wypall X60 reinforced wipe along with the coupons were all sprayed three times with the cleaner and then allowed to soak for 30 seconds. Afterwards the Single Line Washing Unit (SLW) was activated and cleaned for 20 cycles. The clean coupons were all then allowed to dry at room temperature before the final weights were recorded. The coupons were cleaned again using the same process with its respective cleaner, and all data and observations recorded.
