Hand wash with bucket
- Pour 4 caps of Ceramic Shampoo into a bucket of water and use it like a normal car shampoo;
- Proceed by washing one panel at a time, always in the shade, with the vehicle wet and starting from the bottom upwards, the opposite of using a traditional shampoo. This is because Ceramic Shampoo, being a polymer, if you started from the top the pouring would risk leaving a non-uniform coverage of the surface, however starting from the bottom you will be able to guarantee uniform and effective application and coverage;
- You can use a microfibre glove or a soft pad, whatever you prefer, as long as they are made of perfectly clean soft microfibre;
- Work one panel at a time, distributing the product over all the components, including emblems and details;
- We advise you to proceed by STEP, perhaps washing half the vehicle at a time: you will avoid letting the product dry on the bodywork even on the hottest days;
- Complete the wash on the entire car and proceed to rinse and dry with the Super Dryer super absorbent microfibre cloth.
How to increase the hydrophobic and protective performances of Ceramic Shampoo?
First method
The first method is with a glove or pad also in microfibre, the same one you used for washing.
- In a graduated bottle, dilute the product in the proportion 1:5 (1 part product and 5 parts water);
- Spray the solution obtained on the same wash pad or glove and wash the entire car step by step, half the vehicle at a time, without leaving out any point, exactly as you did during the washing phase;</li >
- Rinse and proceed with drying using our Super Dryer microfibre cloth.
Second method
- First of all, pre-wash the car with “Foam Gun Prewash” and wash by hand with glove with “Neutral Foam Shampoo”
- In a graduated bottle, dilute the “Ceramic Shampoo” product in the proportion 1:3 (1 part product 3 parts water). Delivers the solution obtained with the foaming technique, over the entire car from bottom to top.
- Wait for at least 1 minute;
- Rinse with high pressure starting from top to bottom;
- Proceed to dry with the “Super Dryer” microfibre cloth.
It doesn’t matter which technique you used, in both cases the hydrophobic effect will now be even more intense and the bodywork sealed and protected for 90 days.
The hydrophobic (beading) and protective effect will already be visible during the rinsing phase.
In fact, you will see the drops of water depositing on the surface in a perfectly circular shape. It happens because they have a smaller contact angle with the protected surface and having a smaller size, they will be lighter and will slide very easily from the surface (sheeting).
Furthermore, the drops of water will incorporate the particles of surface dirt which, thanks to the protection offered by Ceramic Shampoo, do not adhere tenaciously to the surface.
Sliding quickly, they will produce a self-cleaning effect which will facilitate the subsequent maintenance wash which you can carry out, with Neutral Foam Shampoo, after a couple of weeks, based on the kilometers travelled.
Finally, dry the car with our ultra-absorbent microfibre cloth “Super Dryer” for quick and effective drying in total safety.
Our advice is to use two Super Dryerdrying cloths: one dedicated to the bodywork, another dedicated to the windows, in order to leave this last, as dry as possible. You can also use Super Dryer to finish profiles or delicate details. Furthermore, when drying the side of the car or the lower parts, fold the drying cloth to prevent it from touching the ground, collecting dirt which could create scratches.
