FAQs
Is Caiman Predator Wash & Wax safe for ceramic coatings?
Yes, the silicone-free formula is safe for vehicles with ceramic coatings, paint protection films, and other sealant types.
How much product should I use?
For a standard wash bucket, use approximately 1-2 ounces per 5 gallons of water. For foam cannons, refer to the cannon's instructions and adjust based on desired foam thickness.
Can I use this in direct sunlight?
It is best to wash vehicles in the shade or when the surface is cool to the touch. Washing in direct sunlight can cause the product to dry too quickly, potentially leading to streaks.
Does this product contain wax?
Yes, the 'Wash & Wax' in the name indicates that it contains ingredients to add a layer of shine and protection, similar to a light wax, during the wash process.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap sealed, the product typically maintains its effectiveness for 2-3 years.
What does 'silicone-free' mean for my car?
Silicone-free means the product will not leave behind silicone residues. This is crucial for subsequent detailing steps like polishing or applying paint sealants, as silicone can interfere with their bonding.
Troubleshooting
Excessive foam production
Reduce the amount of product used per gallon of water. Ensure the product is correctly diluted according to the instructions for your washing method (bucket or foam cannon).
Product leaves streaks or residue
Ensure the product is fully rinsed off the vehicle. You may need to adjust the dilution ratio or ensure proper technique during the wash and rinse phases. Check that no product has dried on the surface before rinsing.
Dirt not lifting effectively
Verify the correct dilution ratio is being used. Ensure the wash mitt or foam is allowed sufficient contact time with the surface. For heavily soiled vehicles, consider a pre-wash or a more aggressive pre-soak.
