A clean car makes a big difference on a date when it comes to making a good first impression. However, many people are not aware that regular car washing leaves more than just a superficial impression. Regular car washes are important not only for the appearance of the vehicle, but also for the correct operation of the vehicle. And there is the "Pre-washAn important part of car care as it removes heavy soiling such as bird droppings, insects, leaves, pollen and dust before they settle and cause damage to the paintwork. It is particularly important to clean the car at regular intervals to prevent permanent damage to the bodywork. To get the best out of car care, we recommend pre-washing the car before washing.

It is important to think about the car regularly and keep it clean. A regular car wash helps the paintwork retain its original appearance, but a prewash before the car wash is just as important. The pre-wash is an important process that removes stubborn dirt and other contaminants from the vehicle to make the subsequent wash more effective and protect the paintwork. There are a few things to keep in mind when pre-washing. These include the right technology, the right cleaning agents and the right water pressure. It is also important to use the correct washing brush or sponge to ensure that encrustations, old polish residue etc. are reliably removed and the vehicle's surface is protected from scratches. And the pre-wash is also important to prevent excessive dirt and other Impurities accumulate in the car wash and make car care more difficult.
stubborn dirt doesn't stand a chance
The regular cleaning of the car using pre-wash will ensure that it stays optimally protected and clean. A pre-wash is therefore an essential part of car care. The reason for this is that this protects the vehicle from coarse dirt particles or protective films settling and settling on hard-to-reach corners, beads, edges or the rails of sliding doors etc. The effectiveness of the normal detergent is also increased by the pre-wash, which brings visibly better results. In summary, prewashing is a simple yet effective car detailing technique that can be used over and over again with little effort to keep the paintwork in good condition. The purpose of the pre-wash is to soften the dirt and remove it from the car by allowing the foam to flow off. This means that no scratches are produced when washing by hand.
Possibilities & tips for pre-washing:
- Gentle paint cleaning and as few scratches as possible can be achieved by pre-washing with foam
- Apply cleaning products using a foam sprayer / foam lance / snow foam / shampoo
- Coarse dirt from the paint can be removed with a foam sprayer
- Foam sprayers often work manually (pumps to build up pressure)
- Apply Snow Foam & Shampoo (foam the vehicle, let it take effect, spray off)
- Alternatively, spray the vehicle with foam lances (screwed onto the high-pressure cleaner).
- afterwards gently with the two bucket principle wash by hand
Carry out the hand wash directly, without prewash?
- never start hand washing immediately
- Washing buckets and washing gloves (or car washes) get unnecessarily dirty as a result
- Scratches can easily get into the paintwork (the dirt is pulled over the paintwork)
- the pre-wash is the be-all and end-all of a good and gentle hand wash
Normal pressure sprayer from the hardware store & shampoo?
- always use a Snow Foam instead of just water with shampoo in the pressure sprayer
- Snow Foam doesn't just flow off, giving it time to soften the dirt on the paintwork
- Do not use a pressure sprayer from the hardware store, as the straight water jet does not do what a real pressure sprayer can do in terms of a proper foam image
What is the cheapest pre-wash option?
- use a good pressure sprayer. This lasts a long time and is cheaper in the long run than several cheap products
- a good snow foam usually costs around €1 for 10 liter, but you only need around 15 ml for the pre-wash, so you save in the long run, because only a few cents are incurred per pre-wash
- You need shampoo for the car wash anyway, so there are no additional costs
Is the normal pre-wash with insect cleaner, rim cleaner and high-pressure cleaner not enough?
- Unfortunately, no. Before the pre-wash, the insect cleaner, the wheel rim cleaner etc. should be used according to the provider.
- Then apply the foam so that the dirt that the cleaners have loosened is removed.
Is the pre-wash dangerous for the paintwork?
- No, because Snow Foam is PH neutral.
Conclusion
An prewash is important if the vehicle is to be cleaned gently and scratch-free. The decisive factor here is the correct choice of foamer, snow foam and shampoo. Deep scratches in the paintwork that require polishing, or perhaps even paintwork, are much more expensive.
Of course, that wasn't the end of it!
