Matt Hall Racing
Zi-400 is the best product I have ever used for cleaning. I just love it.
“I use Zi-400 across my fleet of aircraft which includes our P51 Mustang, an 80 year-old warbird originally flown in the RAAF. Being a metal aircraft and living on the coast, corrosion is a massive threat to us. The fact that Zi-400 is scientifically proven to prevent corrosion is absolute gold.
Zi-400 is also great for cleaning exhaust gas build ups around the wings on our King Air passenger plane. When it comes to race planes, it’s really important that we don’t have bugs on it for optimal aerodynamic performance. Zi-400 is amazing. The bugs just come straight off.
It really is the best product I have ever used for cleaning. It keeps the planes looking great, but it also keeps them serviceable with the anti-corrosion features, so I just love it.”

The aircraft always look 10 times better than other aircraft cleaners.
“Zi-400 is great to use, unlike other aircraft cleaners you can let Zi-400 sit for a few minutes to soak those pesky bugs off the aircraft without leaving streak marks when washing off.
Zi-400 can be used multiple times, the aircraft always look 10 times better than other aircraft cleaners.”

Zi-400 is easy to use. It ends up taking half the time to wash the Aircraft and we are getting a corrosion prevention treatment at the same time.
“The biggest benefits are efficiency of the product; Easy set up, removes soot and grime with minimal scrubbing and ends up taking half the time to wash the Aircraft. We are also getting a corrosion prevention treatment at the same time!”

There are a lot of aircraft cleaning products on the market, but only one I completely trust.
“I have been using Zi-400 HD Aircraft Wash for over 25 years and can confidently say, that this product is the safe choice for your aircraft.
Whether it is a Cessna 150 or a Gulfstream, contaminants such as insect marks, staining, pollution debris and salts are easily removed. As a seaplane operator, after each day’s flying, we use Zi-400 HD to assist neutralize damaging corrosive effects caused by salt water.”

Aerogleam WA
With regular washing with Zi-400, corrosion rates have dramatically decreased. Zi-400 is the real deal and can save our clients a lot of money.
“Here at AeroGleam WA we have been operating an aircraft detailing business in WA for the past 8 years. We struggled the first year to find aviation approved products that were both safe for use on aircraft and actually cleaned well. After many trial and errors we finally came across Zi-400. All the claims of it being a corrosion preventative seemed a bit far fetched, so I scrutinised Charles and asked for all the test data etc (A lot) to try and prove them wrong. Long story short, everything they claimed was 100% true, I even did my own testing on various aviation materials before using it on very expensive aircraft.
We’ve been exclusively using Zi-400 HD Aircraft Cleaner for the past 7 years without a single issue. We use it daily on RFDS pc12’s and as you can imagine that soot is hard to clean off, but Zi-400 with a foamer melts it off with ease. We use Zi-400 on everything from Cessna’s, all Pilatus, Beechcraft, Gulf Stream, Phenoms, basically every aircraft you can think of and it’s never let us down.”

“Scouts Australia NSW Air Activity Centre is based at Camden Airport NSW and operate 3 Cessna 172R and 1 Cessna 172S aircraft. We pride ourselves in maintaining the highest standard in safety and aircraft maintenance.
We regularly receive compliments on the very high standard of our air-craft fleet.

“My company’s usage of Zi-400 HD Aircraft Cleaner has been both long and successful. We knew very quickly that by following the product’s user instructions and our own in-house cleaning techniques, that we could trust Zi-400 to produce the quality results we were seeking for our customer.
We could make Zi-400 sing on so many surfaces and developing the processes to detail an Airbus A320 during heavy maintenance was a very rewarding one.
Our staff would often perform a walk through after completing a deep clean to recognise and appreciate a job well done.”

Aircraft Builder
“Ever since my aircraft took out the national award for Best Amateur-Built Aircraft at the RAA Convention in 2006, I have used Zi-400 to maintain its appearance.
As a dry land farmer, I really appreciate the value of water, and as I regularly fly around 4 hours per week, using Zi-400 allows me to both keep the aircraft clean, and save water.

Aero Assist
Excellent On Plexiglass
“I’ve found Solidus Industries Cleen Screen to be excellent for the Plexiglas and noticed that removal of bugs etc, when using it for the first time, was as difficult as any other product e.g. plexus. However subsequent usage made life a lot easier – I’m sticking with Cleen Screen from now on, thanks for showing me this product.”

Highly Recommended.
It really is GREAT STUFF.
“I just want to acknowledge on paper what a GREAT PRODUCT your Cleen Screen, Windscreen and Canopy Cleaner is. As you know we at Aero Plastics and Structures manufacture windscreens and windows for aircraft and it is my job to make sure all our products are in first class condition when they leave our premises. Your Cleen Screen cleaner is used daily on these products and has a soft smooth finish and also helps with static. I highly recommend the cleaner to anyone and everyone in the aviation industry. It really is GREAT STUFF.”

Paslode
“Just a note to say how impressed I have been with Solidus Industries Zi-400 Industrial Cleaner. Previously it has been very hard to find a cleaner that ticks all the boxes for performance, cost effectiveness and is environmentally friendly.
I have found the cleaner to be extremely effective for cleaning dirt and carbon deposits from Paslode Impulse and pneumatic tools.
I have also found it effective in removing road grime from motorcycles and motor vehicles. The results are shown to the service agents that I train who have often taken up the cleaner to replace the cleaning methods they previously employed.”
Bill Mooney

Nifty-Lift
“It is with pleasure that we acknowledge our use of your cleaning product Zi-400 Industrial.
As a manufacturer of elevating work platforms (cherry pickers), we use Zi-400 at the final stage of production to clean the work platform, bodywork, accessories and vehicle, before presenting the finished work platform to our customers.
The product is also used on our specialised electrically insulated models to effectively clean the insulated booms, without having any deleterious effects on the insulation performance, which must maintain up to 275,000 Volts resistance.
Overall, we find Zi-400 to be highly effective, without being too ‘harsh’ so as to damage the surface finish of painted, powder coated and gelcoat items as is the case with many other cleaning products.
Zi-400’s credentials enable us to have minimal impact on the environment, which fits in with our environmental policy.”
Graeme Boucher
Managing Director
BP Exploration
“We have a 300m by 50mm pipeline used to carry Naphtha from the processing plant to a storage tank. Over time this line has been clogged up with a very viscous Glycol based material that had built up on the inside of the pipeline causing a 5mm reduction of internal diameter. And subsequently a differential pressure of 480 kps pressure drop on the line.
Because Zi-400 Industrial is non-flammable, environmentally friendly and doesn’t pose any hazardous concerns we decided to try it on this line.
As a result the pressure in the line had dropped from 480 kpa to 230 kpa (normal operating pressure). I would find it very difficult that this task could have been achieved over the same time if caustics and solvents were used. Furthermore, the fact that the safety and environmental aspect was reduced made the task less of a risk.
I would not hesitate recommending this product to anyone who has similar applications or where safety and environmental issues are paramount."

“Here at Custom Fluidpower we use Zi-400 Industrial Cleaner as a parts cleaner and floor cleaner.
Zi-400 is a great product to use and I am very pleased with its performance.

Mr Green Cleen
“I have been running my own carpet and upholstery business for 5 years. One of the services I provide is mattress cleaning using a steam vacuum machine.
I have never used any product that has been as effective as Zi-400 Industrial.
The only product addressing stains on mattresses that has made any real difference has been bleach, which is not really cleaning the product but bleaching it, and I don’t have to mention how toxic bleach is. I have also used Zi-400 on carpets and upholstery. This product is just as effective as the harsh products I have been using. My business has moved to using Zi-400 permanently because it is safer, better for my own health and my clients. I feel empowered to offer a safe cleaning product that can do mattresses, car interiors, carpets, and upholstery.”

“My motorcycle was filthy, Melbourne’s been a bit wet lately and the road grime was building to a point where I couldn’t stand it anymore.
Great motorcycle cleaner. The result was amazing, the mess just about fell off by itself with just a rinse afterwards and left a sparkling finish like it had been polished.
I recommend it to everyone who gets dirty.”
