Blend Brothers Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam is an alkaline pre-wash in a 5-litre format, developed to dissolve and remove mud, road grime and salt prior to manual washing. The thick foam penetrates contaminated surfaces and helps reduce the risk of scratches during the subsequent contact wash.
The product is applied using a foam cannon or pressure washer, left to dwell for 3 minutes and then rinsed off with water. The formulation is gentle on paint, plastic and rubber, making it suitable as a standardised first step in a professional wash protocol. See more pre-wash products for vehicle care in our range.
What is Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam and why choose it?
An alkaline pre-wash is the first step in a correct wash protocol. By applying an active foam to the vehicle's surfaces before the contact wash, heavier contamination is dissolved chemically, reducing friction and the risk of paint damage during the manual wash phase. Blend Brothers Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam is formulated with an alkaline pH level that effectively targets organic soiling, road debris and salt.
The product is supplied in a 5-litre format with adjustable dilution, providing flexibility depending on the vehicle's level of soiling. This makes it cost-effective for workshops and detailers handling a high wash volume on a daily basis.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Blend Brothers Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam work on all surface materials on the vehicle?
Yes, Blend Brothers Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam is safe to use on paint, plastic and rubber. The product is formulated to dissolve soiling without attacking these materials, making it suitable as a standardised pre-wash step across the entire vehicle exterior. Avoid contact with hot surfaces and never allow the foam to dry before rinsing.
What dilution is recommended for Blend Brothers Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam at different levels of soiling?
Blend Brothers Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam is used at a dilution of 1:10 (product:water) for heavy soiling, for example after winter driving with road salt and mud.

What distinguishes Blend Brothers Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam from a standard car shampoo?
Blend Brothers Alkaline Pre-Wash Active Foam is a dedicated pre-wash product with an alkaline formulation, unlike a neutral car shampoo used during the contact wash. The active foam is applied without contact – via a foam cannon or pressure washer – and chemically dissolves mud, road debris and salt before the manual wash phase begins. This reduces friction against the paintwork and contributes to a safer wash result, which is particularly valuable in professional detailing contexts.
