FX PROTECT Gravity is an alkaline pre-wash formulated to effectively dissolve dirt, grease, insects, and organic contaminants from painted surfaces, plastics, and glass before the main wash begins. The product is applied to a dry or damp surface and allowed to dwell before rinsing.

Thanks to its alkaline formulation, Gravity breaks down grease-based contaminants without attacking the paint surface. The pre-wash helps reduce the risk of scratches during the subsequent hand wash or machine wash, as heavy soiling is removed at the pre-wash stage. See more FX PROTECT products for car care.

The 5-litre packaging is suited to professional use in detailing studios and reconditioning workshops where consumption is high and cost-effectiveness is essential.

What is an Alkaline Pre-Wash and why choose it?

An alkaline pre-wash is used as the first step in a proper wash process. By applying the product to the vehicle's surfaces before contact washing, heavy soiling, road grit, insect residue, and grease films are dissolved chemically, minimising mechanical friction against the paintwork. This is a fundamental step in professional detailing to protect the paint surface.

FX PROTECT Gravity is suitable for dilution and can be adapted to varying levels of soiling. Alkaline chemistry is particularly effective against organic and grease-based contaminants, making it a natural choice for regular pre-washing in professional environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does FX PROTECT Gravity work as a pre-wash on heavily soiled vehicles?

Yes, FX PROTECT Gravity is formulated to handle vehicles with normal to heavy soiling. The alkaline formulation effectively dissolves grease, insect residue, and organic contaminants. For very heavy soiling, a longer dwell time or a second application before rinsing is recommended.

What volume and dilution ratio applies to FX PROTECT Gravity pre-wash?

FX PROTECT Gravity is supplied in a 5-litre container, suited to professional use with high consumption. The exact dilution ratio is stated on the product packaging and should be followed for best results. The dilution can be adjusted according to the level of soiling – a higher concentration for heavy dirt.

What distinguishes FX PROTECT Gravity from a neutral pre-wash?

FX PROTECT Gravity is an alkaline pre-wash, as opposed to neutral alternatives. The alkaline chemistry is particularly effective against grease-based and organic contaminants, making it more powerful when dealing with heavy soiling. Neutral pre-washes are better suited to sensitive surfaces or frequent wash cycles where a milder chemistry is preferred. FX PROTECT Gravity is a choice for professional environments where efficiency and throughput are the priority.
