A3 – FORMULA 420 DAILY USE CONCENTRATE

These specs show why A3 is so efficient for daily cleaning. The concentrated nature means you get twice the cleaning power from a single bottle.

In short: The 1:1 dilution makes it an affordable and fast solution for your daily cleaning routine.

• One 16oz bottle yields a full 32oz of cleaning solution.
• The simple 1:1 mix ratio is easy to prepare for daily use.
• Its formula is optimized for speed, working in about 60 seconds.

How Does The Abrasivaction Technology Work?

Formula 420 cleaners are known for their exclusive AbrasivAction technology, which does the hard work for you. Instead of aggressive scrubbing that can risk scratching your glass, the formula contains fine abrasive particles that scrub surfaces as you swirl the solution. This allows the cleaner to quickly lift and dissolve fresh resin without needing intense shaking or harsh tools. For a daily cleaner like A3, a simple one-minute swirl is enough to keep your piece clear.

What Materials Are Safe To Clean With A3?

A3 is rated as safe for Glass, Pyrex, Metal, and Ceramic materials. This covers the vast majority of bongs, dab rigs, and pipes. Because quartz is a type of glass, A3 is generally considered safe for cleaning quartz bangers. However, for high-end or coated quartz, we recommend testing on a small area first. Use caution when using this product on soft plastics, acrylics, or pieces with external painted decals, as strong cleaners can sometimes cause damage. For best practices, see our guide on how to clean a quartz banger.

In short: AbrasivAction tech cleans quickly and safely on glass, metal, and ceramic, but use caution on plastics.

• AbrasivAction provides hands-free scrubbing power.
• Safe for use on standard glass, pyrex, metal, and ceramic pieces.
• Exercise caution with soft plastics, acrylics, and painted finishes.
• Generally safe for quartz, but spot-testing high-end bangers is recommended.
