Make washing your vehicle safer and more effective with our Pre-Wash Solution, a powerful citrus-based cleaner designed to loosen dirt, grime, and road contamination before the main wash stage.

Formulated with surface-active agents, water-soluble solvents, soil-suspending agents, and citrus oils, this non-caustic cleaner breaks down stubborn contaminants such as general road dirt, bird droppings, and insect residue. By removing these particles early in the wash process, it helps reduce the risk of swirl marks and scratches in your vehicle’s paintwork.

Developed for professional detailers, this pre-wash solution forms an essential part of the safe washing method, helping to minimise direct contact with the vehicle surface. Once applied and rinsed, your vehicle can then be safely washed using the two-bucket method or followed with a snow foam treatment for deeper cleaning.

This versatile formula can also be used as an interior pre-spray, helping to loosen dirt and stains on carpets, upholstery, and door panels before cleaning.

✔ Non-caustic for safe use on vehicle surfaces
