What is a Citrus Pre Wash?  


Citrus Pre Wash is a specially formulated cleaning solution to help break down road dirt, grease and grime on your vehicle's paintwork. Most Pre Washes contain citrus based solvents, often from orange or lemon oils, which are highly effective at breaking down oily contamination.

Why should I use a Citrus Pre Wash? 


Effective Dirt Removal - It's powerful formula easily handles tough contamination by loosening and lifting dirt from the surface, making the subsequent rinse with a pressure washer more effective and safer for the vehicle's paintwork

Versatile Use - Citrus Pre Wash is safe to use on all vehicle exterior surfaces including paintwork, plastic, glass and rubber. This makes it an ideal choice for a pre wash treatment without worrying about potential damage to different surfaces.

Time Saving - Applying a Citrus Pre Wash significantly reduces the effort and time required for the main contact wash with your shampoo and mitt. Because majority of the dirt and grime has been removed, you'll spend less time worrying about rubbing dirt and grime around the paintwork.

How to use a Citrus Pre Wash?


1. Initial Rinse: We would always recommend giving your vehicle a quick rinse down to remove loose dirt and debris so the pre wash can work more efficiently.
2. Application: Most Pre Wash's have a recommended dilution ratio which we would recommend using for the best results. Apply the pre wash using either a pump sprayer or spray bottle ensuring full coverage to all exterior surfaces.
3. Dwell Time: Allow the product to dwell for a few minutes, giving the pre wash a chance to breakdown the dirt and grime. Avoid letting it dry onto the surface and stay out of direct sunlight when applying.
4. Rinse Off: After you've allowed the product to dwell, thoroughly rinse off the pre wash with a pressure washer ensuring all the product and dirt are washed away.
