Citrus Power Pre-Wash

Citrus Power bug & grime remover is a versatile citrus pre-wash an essential that no car detailing kit should ever be without. Designed to aid the perfect swirl-free pre-wash, this powerful blend of degreasers, cleaning agents and advanced surfactants safely removes heavy soiling, bugs and traffic films, without the need for scrubbing and without deteriorating any previously-applied car wax, sealants or ceramic coatings.

The pre-wash stage is one of, if not THE, most important processes in detailing and should be performed regardless of the time of year. This is where the heaviest, and most harmful, particulate grime is removed without making contact with the vehicle. Sharp particles and gritty contaminants can easily inflict swirl-marks and paint defects when dragged around on paintwork with a wash mitt. So, for the safest wash possible, these contaminants must be removed before your 2-bucket contact wash, and this is where our flagship pre-cleaner can be utilised to attack, and safely extract, even the most stuck-on grime.

Supplied ready-to-use for quick and simple spray-on application, this advanced, contact-less aqueous agent uses powerful surfactants to break down, lift and encapsulate harmful particles within the solution, keeping them away from surfaces and allowing them to be rinsed away safely, without scratching paint, clear coat, gloss plastic or vinyl layers. These surfactants are attracted to both grime and water on a microscopic scale, allowing them to lock on to heavy soiling and then physically pull it away from surfaces, surrounding any harmful particles ready for them to be purged by rinsing.

Safe for use on all exterior surfaces, such as paintwork, glass, rubber and plastic - including matte and satin paint or vinyl wraps - while the gentle nature of Citrus Power makes it the ideal product for the most sensitive applications, it’s also able to power through the oil-based contamination and staining, making it suitable for light degreasing of car engine bays, inside fuel flaps, motorcycle engines and even painted/lacquered door jambs and bonnet/tailgate shuts. Simply spray on liberally and lightly agitate using a Detailing Brush. Here the agitation of Citrus Power isn’t in order to physically scrub away grime, it’s merely to refresh the solution, moving away ‘spent’ product – solution already encapsulating grime – and replenish the area with new solution to break down any remaining grime. Once your agitation is complete, you can safely rinse (or wipe) away the encapsulated grime from these areas. It really is that simple.
