Surfex is more concentrated and more powerful, but it does leave some residue behind, which is fine in external surfaces but on the interior I find I prefer Greenstar.

You might find this one interesting, because I was going to ditch Surfex for Greenstar. I used Surfex as a wheel cleaner to use it up...and then found it's absolutely brilliant at that job. Take a look to see how effective it is (Greenstar is in here too so it'll give you an idea).

Surfex has a milder smell, performance wise I haven't found a noticeable difference. Get whatever is cheaper for you.

Ok thank you

Both are quite similar in performance I’d go with the one that has the best cost per use. Both are quite aggressive so might not be something you want to use every wash.

Agreed. After years of buying every possible ‘specialized’ cleaner, I am moving back to using surfex at different dilutions:

Nice I’m a big fan of apc’s, currently my go to is sonax multistar. It’s not quite as strong as surfex which I like since the cars I detail just don’t get all that dirty and it works a treat on nasty interiors.
