What Are Stars + Stripes?
Stars (Step 1) is a low-pH acidic pre-soak that breaks down mineral deposits, rust film, and bug residue while softening bonded road film.
Stripes (Step 2) is a high-pH alkaline foam soap that lifts organic buildup—like grease, oils, and carbon-based grime—and neutralizes Stars in the process.
Together, this acid–alkaline combo triggers a chemical reaction that deep-cleans your vehicle without scrubbing or brushing. No more road film. No more elbow grease.
