DUCTILE is an extremely concentrated and versatile detergent with a powerful cleaning action, safe for use on all interior and exterior surfaces.

FAQ
Is DUCTILE safe for my touchscreens? While safe on most plastics, for electronic screens we recommend using a dedicated glass cleaner like NITIDO or a very light interior detailer like IGEA to avoid any potential streaking.
Why is Alcantara® certification important? Alcantara is a sensitive material that can be easily ruined by harsh chemicals. Being certified means DUCTILE has passed rigorous testing to ensure it cleans effectively without damaging the unique texture or colour of the fabric.
Does it leave a sticky film on my dashboard? No. DUCTILE is formulated to be "easy-to-rinse" and residue-free, ensuring your plastics look clean and matte, just like they did when they left the factory.
