How to use

Let's go back to the prewash: you can dispense the product in different ways, based on the type of dirt present on the car.

With manual sprayer for localized action on specific dirt:
The lower parts of the car are always the dirtiest.
By dispensing the product in low pressure diluted 1:10 (1 part product and 10 parts water) directly onto the dirt, you will have a high-performance and localized action that is ideal on difficult dirt such as midges and mud.

With low pressure manual pump sprayer:
You can use the product with a low pressure manual pump sprayer, dilute “Foam Gun Prewash” 1:50 in winter (1 part product and 50 parts water), i.e. 2 capfuls in 1 liter of water, or 1:100 in summer (1 part of product and 100 parts of water) 1 capful in a liter of water.

Dispense the product and wait 1 minute for the product to act to detach the dirt from the surface.
Finally, proceed with a thorough rinse at high pressure, using the water jet to eliminate the coarsest residues of dirt.

In this way, thanks to the kinetic energy of the pressure washer, you will remove the dirt that the emollient action of the pre-wash has detached from the surface.
In summer, or if you find yourself working under the sun and at high temperatures, we suggest you wash and rinse one panel at a time.

So what is the correct procedure for a correct prewash?
For lower parts and localized dirt, spray the diluted product directly from bottom to top and rinse.

Then, dispense it in foam gun mode, always from bottom to top following these dilutions:

  • for winter dirt 1:5 (1 part product and 5 parts water), to carry out a final dilution of 1:50 at the exit;
  • for summer dirt 1:10 (1 part of product and 10 of water), to carry out a final dilution of approximately 1:110 at the exit.

Apply a thick layer of foam to the vehicle and wait for it to begin to fall (This may take up to 5 minutes).
Finally, proceed to rinse with a high-pressure jet of water starting from top to bottom.

Why Prewash Matters

Even careful hand washing can leave micro-scratches and swirls on your car’s paint. This is often caused by dirt particles that are not removed before the manual wash.

During washing:

  • Dirt trapped in the wash glove or sponge can create swirls or deeper rids.
  • Prewashing removes most of the coarse dirt without touching the paint, drastically reducing the risk of scratches.

Foam Gun Prewash is the essential first step after cleaning rims and tires, making the subsequent manual washing completely safe.

This foaming prewash is designed to clean, polish, and protect all exterior surfaces before the main wash:

  • Powerful, safe foaming formula
  • Dense, compact foam for maximum dirt suspension
  • Eliminates smog, road grime, midges, organic plant residues, and bird droppings
  • Safe for all previously applied protectants, including nanotechnology or coating-based sealants
  • Suitable for frequent use

Usage and Versatility

  • Can be applied using a Foam Gun or low-pressure manual pump sprayer
  • Compatible with pressure washers to maximize dirt removal
  • Prepares the surface for manual washing by removing up to 90% of coarse dirt
  • Economical with high dilution ratios
  • Pleasantly scented
