Always refer to the specific instructions on the product label for the most accurate dilution ratio, as it can vary slightly. A common ratio is typically around 1:50 or 1:100 parts shampoo to water, but check your container.
While primarily designed for bucket washing, many car shampoos can be used in foam cannons. Check the product label for specific guidance on foam cannon use and recommended dilution ratios for this application.
When diluted correctly and rinsed thoroughly, it is generally safe for most standard automotive paint finishes. However, for any specialized or aftermarket coatings, it's always best to test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
The amount of water depends on your chosen dilution ratio. For example, if the ratio is 1:100 and you use 50ml of shampoo, you would mix it with 5 liters of water.
This shampoo is designed for general dirt and grime. For tougher spots like tar or dried insects, you may need a dedicated tar and bug remover as a pre-treatment before washing.
This product description does not indicate that it contains wax. It is a cleaning detergent focused on removing dirt.
Store the shampoo in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is securely fastened.
The product may not have been diluted correctly, or the vehicle was not rinsed thoroughly. Ensure you are using the recommended dilution ratio and rinse the vehicle completely with clean water after washing. Avoid washing in direct sunlight, as the solution can dry too quickly.
For very heavy or baked-on dirt, pre-rinsing the vehicle with water might be necessary. You may also need to use a slightly more concentrated (but still within recommended guidelines) solution or allow the shampoo to dwell for a minute longer before agitating.
Wear rubber gloves when handling the concentrate and the diluted solution to protect your skin. If irritation occurs, wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water and discontinue use if necessary.
Setup: This product is a liquid concentrate and requires dilution before use. Mix the shampoo with water in a bucket according to the instructions on the product label.
