Technician’s Choice TEC99410 Work Horse All-Purpose Cleaner is a versatile, professional-grade solution designed to clean a wide range of washable surfaces efficiently. Engineered with a balanced blend of water-miscible solvents, nonionic surfactants, and alkaline hydroxides, this formula delivers effective soil-lifting and emulsification to remove dirt, grease, and stains without causing harm to the surface. Whether you are maintaining vehicle interiors, marine applications, or general commercial spaces, TEC99410 offers reliable cleaning results with minimal effort.
The product’s dense, foaming action helps the active ingredients stay in place on the surface, providing better contact time and reducing the chance of oversaturation. This makes it particularly well-suited for delicate materials like fabric upholstery, velour, and carpets, where controlling moisture is essential. The foam is designed to lift contaminants while leaving the surface clean and residue-free. Its non-soaking properties allow surfaces to dry quickly, making it a practical option for professionals who need fast turnaround times.
TEC99410 is VOC/OTC compliant, biodegradable, and body shop safe, making it a responsible choice for detailing environments that prioritize both performance and environmental standards. Its non-chlorinated formula is safe for chrome, vinyl, leather, plastic, and other washable surfaces, providing flexibility for multiple applications in both automotive and non-automotive settings.

Step-By-Step Application Process
- Shake: Shake the can thoroughly before each use and occasionally during prolonged applications.
- Test: Test on an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with the surface.
- Spray: Hold the can upright, 6 inches from the surface, and apply an even layer of foam to a manageable area (approximately 2 square feet at a time).
- Dwell: Allow the foam to dwell for 30-40 seconds, giving it time to break down and lift soils.
- Agitate: For heavily soiled areas, gently agitate with a soft brush or sponge.
- Wipe: Remove foam and loosened dirt with a clean microfiber towel or sponge.
- Repeat: Repeat the process if necessary on areas with stubborn contamination.
Best Practices
- Work in small sections to ensure thorough cleaning and avoid allowing the foam to dry on the surface.
- Apply in shaded areas and on cool surfaces to prevent premature drying.
- Follow up with an appropriate protectant on leather or vinyl after cleaning to maintain surface integrity.
- Regularly clean high-contact areas to prevent buildup and stains from setting in.
