Liquid Labs - Ignite Citrus Pre-Wash – Powerful Concentrated Pre-Cleaner – 500ml & 5 Litre

Liquid Labs Ignite Citrus Pre-Wash – Powerful Concentrated Pre-Cleaner – 500ml & 5 Litre

Take on road film, traffic grime, grease and stubborn dirt before you even touch the paintwork with Liquid Labs Ignite Citrus Pre-Wash.

Ignite is a powerful citrus-based pre-wash designed for the first stage of your vehicle cleaning process. Used before snow foam or your contact wash, it helps break down heavy contamination so it can be safely rinsed away, reducing the amount of dirt left on the vehicle before your wash mitt touches the paint.

Available in 500ml and 5 Litre, it’s suitable for everything from enthusiast maintenance washes to professional valeting and detailing.

🔥 Why Choose Liquid Labs Ignite?

🍊 Powerful Citrus Pre-Wash – Formulated to tackle road film, grime, grease and stubborn contamination.

💪 Highly Concentrated – Can be diluted depending on how dirty the vehicle is, making the 5-litre size particularly economical for frequent users.

🚗 Ideal for Lower Panels – Excellent for bumpers, sills, wheel arches and other areas that collect heavy road grime.

💦 Perfect First Cleaning Stage – Helps remove contamination before snow foaming and contact washing.

🧽 Reduces Contact Washing – Removing as much dirt as possible beforehand can help minimise unnecessary contact with the paint.

How to Use Liquid Labs Ignite Citrus Pre-Wash

1. Dilute to suit the job

The product label recommends:

100:1 – Light Duty
Ideal for lighter contamination and regular maintenance cleaning.

50:1 – General Use
A good everyday dilution for typical road dirt and grime.

10:1 – Heavy Soiling
For heavily contaminated vehicles where significantly more cleaning power is required.

2. Apply to the vehicle

Using a suitable pressure sprayer or trigger bottle, apply the diluted solution evenly over the dirty areas.

Concentrate on the front bumper, lower doors, sills, rear bumper, tailgate and other high-contamination areas.

3. Allow it to dwell

Give Ignite time to break down the contamination. Work on a cool surface and never allow the product to dry on the vehicle.

4. Pressure rinse thoroughly

Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with a pressure washer, working methodically to remove the loosened grime.

5. Continue your wash

For a full detail, follow with your preferred snow foam, rinse again, then complete your normal contact wash with car shampoo.

⭐ Protect & Shine Detailing Tip

Pre-washing is one of the most important stages of safely cleaning a dirty vehicle. Rather than immediately attacking the paintwork with a wash mitt, let Ignite do the hard work first.

During winter, pay particular attention to the lower third of the vehicle, where wet roads can leave particularly heavy traffic film and contamination.
