Degreasers & Heavy-Duty Cleaners for Automotive & Fleet in Namibia

Service-bay degreasing at passenger-vehicle scale is precision work next to the truck shop: engine bays dense with electronics, alloy components that hate the wrong alkali, and a customer who inspects the result from one metre. MPC Degreaser and the Magnus bath products cover it, blended in Windhoek.

The local problems this range solves

  • Engine bays dense with sensors and connectors
  • Alloy and mixed-metal components in every assembly
  • Oil patches on customer-visible workshop floors
  • Gearbox and diff work soaking benches in oil
  • Brake and clutch dust needing controlled cleaning

Compliance & documentation

Workshop waste oil, solvent and absorbent disposal run under municipal environmental rules; our SDS pack covers the paper side.

Local tip

Keep MPC in a 5 L trigger-spray at each bay rather than one drum station — per-bay availability is what actually converts “should degrease” into “did”.

Degreasers for automotive & fleet: asked and answered

What is the safe modern engine-bay degrease?

Cool engine, covered electronics, targeted MPC application on the greasy zones, soft brush agitation, low-pressure controlled rinse — never a pressure lance into the loom, which is how degreasing becomes an electrical diagnosis. Follow with Solvene 33 on connectors that need residue-free attention, battery isolated, full evaporation before restart. The chemistry is mild about it; the water discipline is everything.

Which bath handles automotive components without eating the alloys?

Magnus 755 — the multi-metal-safe soak — for anything with aluminium in or on it, which in modern vehicles means almost everything: housings, covers, brackets. Alukleen covers dedicated aluminium cleaning. Reserve ferrous-only chemistry (Magnus 645) for the old-iron jobs it suits. The etched alloy housing is the automotive workshop’s signature bath mistake, and it is entirely a product-selection error — ask before charging the tank.

How does a service workshop keep floors customer-presentable?

The two-layer routine at car scale: Peat D on every drip as it happens (an oil spot under a customer’s car reads as negligence even when it isn’t theirs), and Magnus 92 powder scrubs of the bays weekly. Service workshops live on trust built from visible order — the floor is the first exhibit. Powder, absorbent, and a Saturday scrub rotation is the entire programme.

What is the right way to clean brake and clutch assemblies?

Wet methods only, never compressed air: brake dust may contain material you do not want airborne, so a solvent wash (Solvene 33) applied to wet the dust, caught in a drip tray, wiped and disposed — mask on for heavy accumulations. Keep silicone products such as Silprolease far from friction surfaces before and after. The rule set is simple and old; the workshops that follow it are the ones that never learn why the hard way.
