Product Overview
Maniac Line Foam Gun Prewash
Foaming pre-wash for foam gun
DESCRIPTION:
Why, even if you wash the car by hand, personally and carefully wash after wash, you see micro-scratches and lines appear on the bodywork?
And when you empty the bucket, have you ever found dirt residues, such as soil at the bottom?
If the answer is YES, it means that no one has ever taught you the correct washing procedure: Let’s see it together:
Following the correct washing procedure, we start with cleaning rims and tires and their decontamination.
The next phase is the Pre-wash it is carried out BEFORE proceeding with manual washing with shampoo.
PREWASH is the fundamental step that makes all the difference: we will in fact remove up to 80% of the coarse dirt present on the bodywork, without mechanical action, therefore without touching it.
Dirt particles firmly anchored to the bodywork, if you do not carry out a correct pre-wash, during manual washing will be transported by the glove or by the washing sponge with the risk of creating micro scratches (called “swirls” in the jargon) or worse deep scratches (called in jargon “rids”).
Only after having carried out a correct prewash can you proceed with manual washing in total safety. To learn more about the correct washing procedures, we invite you to watch the dedicated video.

MECHANISM OF ACTION
Why is it that even if you wash your car by hand, personally and carefully wash after wash, micro-scratches and lines appear on the bodywork? And when you empty the bucket, have you ever found dirt residues, such as soil at the bottom? If the answer to any of these question is YES, it means that no one has every taught you how to correctly wash a vehicle. Lets take a look together: following the correct washing procedure, we start with washing the rims, the tires and removing any contamination. The next step involves Prewashing. This is carried out BEFORE you wash the vehicle by hand using car shampoo.
PREWASHING is essential and makes all the difference: in fact, it removes up to 80% of the coarse dirt present on the bodywork, without any mechanical action, i.e. without touching it. If prewashing is not carried out correctly, dirt particles stubbornly anchored to the bodywork will be transported by the sponge or mitt with the risk of creating micro-scratches (commonly known as swirls) or even worse, deep scratches (commonly known as rids). We can only proceed with manual washing once the correct prewash procedure has been carried out. Take a look at the dedicated video to find out more about the correct washing procedure.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The product can be applied directly to the bodywork without wetting it first, even in the presence of very stubborn dirt such as midges and on the lower parts of the car that are always the dirtiest. Remove mud first with a jet of water before applying the product. Ensure the car is in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight, and that the surface is not hot. Otherwise, cool the car first with a jet of water.
PRECAUTION
Do not use on motorcycles.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is recommended to use the product with a foam gun, but it is also excellent for pre-washing using a manual sprayer.
Using a high-pressure foam gun, in winter dilute the product with a ratio of 1:5 (1 part product in 5 parts water), for a final-output dilution ratio of around 1:50, and in summer with a ratio of 1:10 (1 part product in 10 parts water) a final-output dilution ratio of around 1:100. Spray a thick layer of foam on the vehicle and wait for it to run off (this may take up to 5 minutes).
Rinse the vehicle from top to bottom. Using a low-pressure manual pump sprayer, in winter dilute with a ratio of 1:50 (1 part product in 50 parts water), 2 caps in 1 liter of water, and in summer with a ratio of 1:100 (1 part product to 100 parts water), 1 cap in 1 liter of water. Spray the product on the vehicle and wait 1 minute without letting the product dry on the bodywork, then rinse.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use the product even without a foam gun? Yes, you can use the product with the “Nebula Foam” hand pump. In this case, dilute as follows:
-
- Winter dirt 1:50 (2 caps of the product in 1 litre of water).
- Summer dirt 1:100 (1 cap of the product in 1 litre of water).
- We recommend that you apply the product always from the bottom up, working on half the car at a time ensuring that the foam is never allowed to dry on the surface.
Can I clean it without a pressure washer? Yes, although you won’t achieve the same results. You will however, get the emollient action that helps soften the dirt, making it easier to remove later.
Can I apply the product directly onto the dirty surface or do I have to completely wet the car first? Our advice is to wet the car first to cool the surface, especially in the summer season and to remove dust and coarse dirt, thereby increasing the safety of use.
Once the product has been applied to the surface, can I work with a brush or sponge? No, because in this stage you are going to detach the coarse dirt from the surface, even strongly anchored dirt. Let the product work and take advantage of its chemical action. After you have rinsed it off, you can then proceed with the thorough washing of the car using a sponge, mitt and brushes for the most difficult areas and features such as emblems or grids.
What are the key steps before proceeding with the prewash of the car? We always recommend that you start washing from the wheels and tires with “Wheel&Tire Cleaner” and remove any iron contaminants with “Iron Remover”
After the prewash, what can I use for the hand wash with the mitt? For a maintenance wash, use the Neutral Foam Shampoo. For dark or wrapped cars, use “Black&Wrap Shampoo”. Use "Ceramic Shampoo” to add a ceramic action to your wash and thereby achieve greater protection and a water repellent effect.
