Instructions for use:
The product is recommended for use with a foam gun, but it is also excellent for pre-washing with a manual sprayer. When using a high-pressure foam gun: in winter, dilute the product in a ratio of 1:5 (1 part product to 5 parts water) so that the final output dilution is 1:50, and in summer in a ratio of 1:10 (1 part product to 10 parts water) so that the final output dilution is 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 in a ratio of 1:50 (1 part product to 50 parts water), 2 caps of product per 1 litre of water, and in summer dilute the product in a ratio of 1:100 (1 part product to 100 parts water), 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 personally, by hand and carefully all the time, do micro-scratches and grooves appear on the bodywork?
And when you empty the bucket, have you ever found dirt residue, such as soil, 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 of fundamental importance: 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 the pre-wash is not carried out correctly, the dirt particles that are strongly anchored to the bodywork will be transported by the sponge or glove and bring the risk of micro-scratches (commonly known as "swirls") or, in worse cases, deep scratches (commonly known as "circular scratches"). You can proceed to manual washing only after carrying out 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 in the case of very stubborn dirt such as midges and on the lower part of the car, which is always the dirtiest. Remove mud with a stream of water before applying the product. Make sure 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 gun?
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, you will get 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 completely wet the car first?
Our advice is to pre-wet the car to cool the surface, especially in summer, and to remove dust and coarse dirt, which increases the safety of use.

Can I work with a brush or sponge after applying the product to the surface?
No, because at this stage you are about to loosen coarse dirt from the surface, including heavily embedded dirt. Allow the product to act and take advantage of its chemical action. After rinsing it off, you can proceed to thoroughly wash the car with a sponge, glove and brush to wash the most difficult places and elements, such as emblems or grilles.

What are the most important steps before starting to pre-wash the car?
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 "MANIAC - neutral shampoo" neutral shampoo. For cars with dark paint or film applied, use "MANIAC - shampoo for black or foil surfaces". Use "MANIAC - ceramic shampoo" ceramic shampoo to add a ceramic effect and thus achieve greater protection and water repellency.
