Pre-wash – the most important step in a safe car wash
A thorough pre-wash for your car is essential to minimize the risk of scratches and swirls. By dissolving dirt, traffic film and grease before touching the paintwork with a wash mitt , you ensure a more gentle and effective car wash.
What is prewash?
Pre-wash is the first step in a proper car wash. Special products such as pH-neutral foam pre-wash , degreasers and insect removers are used to loosen and dissolve dirt so that it can be rinsed off before hand washing.
Foam prewash and snow foam
Foam pre-wash, often applied with a foam lance (snow foam), lays a thick layer of active foam over the car. The foam works its way into the dirt and lifts it from the surface, allowing you to rinse away most of the contamination without touching it.
Degreasing and traffic film remover
Degreasing products are particularly effective against oil, road film, salt and stubborn dirt – especially in the winter months. A good degreasing product for cars ensures that the paintwork is completely clean before further washing and possible protection.
Insect remover for front and mirrors
Insect residue can burn into the paintwork if not removed in time. A dedicated insect remover effectively dissolves insects and residue so they can be easily rinsed away as part of your pre-wash.
That's why you should always start with a pre-wash.
- Reduces the risk of laundry scratches
- Removes most dirt before touching
- Improves the effect of subsequent hand washing
- Provides a more professional end result
Choose the right pre-wash for your car
Light dust and dirt can be removed with a foam pre-wash, while heavy traffic film and winter pollution require a stronger degreasing. Many combine several types of pre-wash for optimal effect and maximum safety during the car wash.
Optimize your car wash with the correct pre-wash
Whether you wash your car as an enthusiast or want a quick and efficient solution, pre-washing is an indispensable step. Explore the selection and find the right solution for your car and your washing habits.
