Simoniz Ultra U390005 is advertised as a high 13.2 PH soap. Several people have suggested it is a better additive to the Correct and the Kleen-rite Ultra products than Simoniz Foamy Additive, which I've used for years. So what exactly does the high PH do as a cleaning additive. Is it different that say the Kleen-rite Vanilla Ultra, which someone said is made by Simoniz. I've had no problems with the Foamy Additive but wonder if I am into dangerous territory by mixing these chemicals if one is "high PH" and the other, Correct, is also advertised as an alkaline soap? Thanks

I don't have trouble mixing two alkalines together. You do want to make sure that the surfactants are compatible.

legal disclaimer: I made a C in chemistry.

I’ve seen Ultra as the hi pH part of a hi/lo pH setup, but never as an additive. There are a bunch of operators around me using one pass of Simoniz Touchless (lo pH) followed by one pass of Ultra (hi pH). Results seem pretty good from what I have seen.

Correction / sorry - I meant
Touchless followed by Plus. I am not familiar with Ultra. Got mixed up. Haven’t used Simoniz products in a while.
