Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does CarLab PRO Power Pre-Wash work with a standard foam cannon (pressure washer foamer)?

Yes, CarLab PRO Power Pre-Wash is developed specifically for use with a foam cannon (pressure washer foamer) at a dilution of 1:5 to 1:10. The product forms a dense and stable foam that clings to the surface and provides sufficient dwell time to dissolve road dirt and contaminants. It can also be used with a hand foamer or spray bottle at a dilution of 1:20 to 1:100.

What volume and dilution ratio does CarLab PRO Power Pre-Wash come in?

CarLab PRO Power Pre-Wash is supplied in a 1-litre container and is a concentrate that must always be diluted before use. The recommended dilution for a foam cannon is 1:5 to 1:10, and for a hand foamer or spray bottle 1:20 to 1:100. Warm water is recommended when preparing the solution. The product should not be applied to hot surfaces and should be stored at 5–25 °C.

What sets CarLab PRO Power Pre-Wash apart from other pre-wash products on the market?

CarLab PRO Power Pre-Wash combines a high concentration ratio with an alkaline pH that delivers effective cleaning of typical road contaminants without damaging existing protective layers such as wax, Ceramic Coating, or Sealant. Many pre-wash products in lower price brackets are either too weak for professional use or too aggressive towards LSP protection. CarLab PRO Power Pre-Wash is developed to meet the requirements of professional detailers and reconditioning workshops. We also offer more CarLab products for professional vehicle care in our range.
