The Importance Of Pre Wash

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

• Removing the soiling before your contact wash helps eliminate the risk of inflicting swirl marks and other paint defects.
• Using a Citrus Based Pre Wash makes your pre-wash easier every single time you clean your vehicle.
• Knowledge is power and learning how to perform the perfect pre-wash is the foundation to any good detail.

The pre-wash is one of the most important, if not THE most important, stages in car detailing. It's here where the most harmful contaminants are removed from the vehicle surfaces in the safest possible way, prior to contact washing, in a bid to avoid inflicting damage, particularly on paintwork.

Heavy grit, grime and road salt can cause swirl-marks and defects when dragged around on your wash mitt, and this is the reason that we remove them first - simply to cut down on the risk of causing damage that will inevitably have to be rectified later.

Very often these contaminants are firmly stuck onto surfaces, so to aid the process we advise to use a Citrus Based Pre Wash as a pre-cleaner to power through the dirt, breaking it down, lifting and encapsulating the harmful particles, allowing them to be rinsed away.

But, why would you need Citrus in summertime, when cars just don't get as dirty? Do you still need to pre-wash your vehicle? Well, the answer is always yes. You see, while you'll still find a small amount of corrosive salt and grime on the road (especially here in the UK where the weather, for the most part, isn't what you'd call tropical), what's even more abundant in the spring and summer months is the concentration of bugs floating around in the air, splattering themselves all over your paintwork and glass as you drive. In fact, there's far more bugs in the warm evenings than there ever will be in the winter, and that's why you should always have this ready-to-use, spray-on cleaner in your detailing kit.your vehicle as and when you need to.
