I've read in a couple of threads about a citrus pre wash by chemical guys but can't find it anywhere.
Whats the crack with it? Can I pre-mix it in 3ltr pressure sprayer and give the car a good soaking? Does it strip wax off?
Any clues?
cheers

i use this and purchased direct from the chemical guys importer based in scotland... I will try and dig out the details...
all you do is pre-mix it as you said in a 3 or 5 ltr pressure pump thingy and gently spray it over the car... let it dwell for a few minutes but don't let it dry though
i use it combined as a 50/50 concentration mix traffic film remover and this combination seems to work very well
smells nice too! :smiley:

Hopefully a couple of useful links too...

i wouldn't use that megs stuff as a pre wash... would imagine that it would strip wax
the CG pre-wash btw doesn't strip wax... unless you use it in super strength concentrations
-
I thought you can mix it in weaker concentrations to not strip wax off. Prob wrong though!

Its a professional grade product rather than a diluted retail chemical and as such is more effective and cheaper to use.

cheers for the info and links, I now just need to get the pre wash!!!
I also need a LARGE pressure sprayer - I have no access to a hose pipe and I'm pissed off treking in and out of the hose with watering cans and buckets!!! :grin: :grin:

Can i just dilute this in my pressure washer bottle or am i better off getting one of those bottle/spray things that go on the end of the hose??

i just use my mix in a manual pressure bottle thingy... works very well... usually end up using about a quarter of it per wash
