Instructions for use:
The product is recommended for use with a foam cannon, but it is also excellent for pre-washing with a manual sprayer. When using a high-pressure foam cannon: in winter, dilute the product at a ratio of 1:5 (1 part product to 5 parts water) for a final dilution of 1:50, and in summer at a ratio of 1:10 (1 part product to 10 parts water) for a final dilution of 1:100. Spray a thick layer of foam onto 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 the product at a ratio of 1:50 (1 part product to 50 parts water), equivalent to 2 caps of product per 1 litre of water, and in summer dilute the product at a ratio of 1:100 (1 part product to 100 parts water), equivalent to 1 cap per 1 litre of water. Spray the product onto the vehicle and wait 1 minute without letting the product dry on the bodywork, then rinse.

Mechanism of action:

Even if you wash your car meticulously by hand, do micro-scratches and swirl marks appear on the bodywork?
And when you empty the bucket, have you ever found dirt residue, such as grit, at the bottom?
If the answer to any of these questions is YES, it means that no one has taught you how to wash your vehicle properly. Let's take a look at it together: by following the correct washing procedure, start by washing the wheel rims, tyres and removing any contamination. The next step is pre-washing. This is done BEFORE manually washing the vehicle with car shampoo. PRE-WASHING is important and crucial: it effectively removes up to 80% of the coarse dirt on the bodywork without any mechanical action, meaning without direct contact. If the pre-wash is not performed correctly, dirt particles strongly adhered to the bodywork will be carried by the sponge or wash mitt, posing a risk of micro-scratches (commonly known as "swirls") or, in worse cases, deep scratches (commonly known as "spiderwebbing"). You can proceed to manual washing only after performing the correct pre-wash procedure. See the relevant video to learn more about the correct washing procedure.

Recommendation: The product can be applied directly to the car body without prior wetting, even for very stubborn dirt such as midges and on the lower parts of the car, which are always the dirtiest. Remove mud with a stream of water before applying the product. Ensure the car is in the shade, avoid direct sunlight, and that the surface is not hot. Otherwise, cool the car with a stream of water first.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use the product without a foam cannon?
Yes, you can use the product with the “Nebula Foam” manual foamer. In this case, dilute the product as follows:

Winter dirt 1:50 (2 caps of product per 1 litre of water).

Summer dirt 1:100 (1 cap of product per 1 litre of water).
We recommend that you always apply the product from the bottom up and always work on one half of the car first and then the other, taking care to ensure that the foam never dries on the surface.

Can I clean without a pressure washer?
Yes, although you won't achieve the same results. However, it provides a softening effect that helps to loosen dirt and makes it easier to remove later.

Can I apply the product directly to a dirty surface, or do I need to wet the car completely first?
We recommend pre-wetting the car to cool the surface, especially in summer, and to remove dust and coarse dirt, which increases the safety of use.

Can I use a brush or sponge after applying the product to the surface?
No, because at this stage you are loosening coarse dirt from the surface, including heavily embedded dirt. Allow the product to act and leverage its chemical action. After rinsing, you can proceed to thoroughly wash the car with a sponge, wash mitt, and brush for the most difficult areas and elements, such as emblems or grilles.

What are the most important steps before starting the pre-wash?
We always recommend starting by washing the wheel rims and tyres with "MANIAC - Wheel and Tyre Cleaner". Remove any ferrous dirt with "MANIAC Line - Iron Remover".

What product can I use after the pre-wash stage for hand washing with a wash mitt?
For maintenance washing, use the "MANIAC - Neutral Shampoo" neutral shampoo. For cars with dark paint or applied film, use the "MANIAC - Shampoo for Black or Foil Surfaces". Use the "MANIAC - Ceramic Shampoo" ceramic shampoo to add a ceramic effect, thereby achieving greater protection and water repellency.
