Customer photo review of PRE Pre-Wash

Didn’t remove bugs like I expected but I only had a 16 oz bottle going to need some more testing with this so I’ll probably order a gallon , unless you guys want to send me on to test , lol just kidding but worked well on lower panels for removing road film and grime

PRE Pre-Wash

I used PRE on my in-laws’ vehicles while I was on vacation, and it did exactly what I wanted a pre-wash to do. It helped loosen up the road film, dirt, bugs, and heavier grime before I started doing the contact wash. That’s one of the biggest reasons I like PRE. I’d rather remove as much dirt as I safely can before putting a wash media on the paint, and PRE gives me that extra cleaning step. I also like being able to adjust how I use it depending on how dirty the vehicle is instead of automatically reaching for something extremely aggressive. After using it on real family vehicles that needed some cleaning, I came away liking it even more.

PRE Pre-Wash

Great for removing bugs and dirt. At a 50:1 dilution in a pump sprayer a little goes a very long way. This stuff melts the bugs and dirt away like butter
