Autobrite Direct Citrus Pre Wash

Autobrite Direct Citrus Wash is a versatile, citrus-oil-infused cleaner designed to remove road grime, bugs, and dirt from vehicles, safe for paint, plastic, rubber, and metal. It is highly economical, with dilution ratios ranging from 10:1 (heavy degreasing) to 100:1 (light cleaning), leaving a streak-free finish.

1. Superior Cleaning Performance

   Unlike snow foam, which primarily removes loose surface debris, this citrus-infused formula uses natural solvents to penetrate and dissolve bird droppings, bug splatter, and heavy road traffic film.
2. Protection Safe

   It is widely regarded as "LSP safe," meaning it effectively cleans the car without stripping away existing layers of wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings.
3. Why we use it?

   2 minute dwell time - Used before the main wash to ensure we don't scratch the paint by rubbing grit into it.

Bilt Hamber Auto Foam

Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam is a heavy-duty, water-based snow foam that is widely considered the gold standard for touchless cleaning power. Unlike many "aesthetic" foams that stay thick like shaving cream but don't clean well, Auto-Foam is a "functional material" designed to systematically burst its bubbles to wet and penetrate road grime.

1. Biodegradability

   Auto-Foam is explicitly made with biodegradable compounds and meets all EU biodegradability requirements.
2. Non-Caustic

   It contains no caustic soda (sodium hydroxide). While many high-cleaning foams use caustic agents that can dull paint binders over time, Auto-Foam is formulated to be harmless to paint even with regular use.
3. Why we use it?

   5 - 8 minute dwell time - A purely touchless product, designed to remove heavy road film, salt, and mud without a wash mitt.

Alien Magic Ceramic Sealant

Alien Magic Gravity is essentially the "cheat code" for a strictly touchless routine because it delivers the durability of a manual wax through the convenience of a foam lance.

1. Insane Durability

   uses SiO2 nano-technology to create an ultra-slick surface that aggressively repels water and grime. In a touchless setup, this is vital because it means dirt has a harder time sticking to the car in the first place, making the next wash even easier.
2. True Professional Durability

   Unlike many "spray-on, rinse-off" products that last only a few weeks, Gravity is rated for up to 6 months.
3. Mirror-Like Gloss

   engineered for a "wet-look" finish. It fills microscopic clear coat imperfections (swirls) and enhances colour depth, giving you that freshly-waxed look without the manual buffing.

Ava P70 Pro

The AVA P70 is a "prosumer" powerhouse that bridges the gap between domestic washers and professional static units. For a strictly touchless guy, the P70 is the most important tool I own because its specs are designed to solve the "static bond" problem that usually forces people to use a wash mitt.

1. No Pulse

   For a touchless clean, you need a steady stream to ensure an even "sweep" of the panel. Pulsing pressure (common in cheaper units) leaves "zebra stripes" of traffic film behind.
2. Precision

   Cleaning a car touchless takes longer because I have to be methodical. The Zero-Force trigger prevents hand fatigue, allowing me to maintain the perfect 45-degree angle to the paint for 15+ minutes straight.

Bilt Hamber Korrosol

Is the surgical "chemical clay bar" in my tool kit. While the citrus pre-wash melts organic oils, Korrosol handles the microscopic shards of hot iron (brake dust) that physically hook into your clear coat.

For my strictly touchless regime, Korrosol is arguably your most important decontamination tool because it achieves what water pressure alone cannot.

1. The Chelation Process

   It contains a specific chelating agent that reacts with iron to make it water-soluble. It "shrinks" the embedded particles so they can be finally flushed out of the paint pore.
2. The "Bleeding" Indicator

   A rapid colour change to deep purple shows exactly where the contamination is being dissolved. If it doesn't turn purple, your paint is iron-free.
3. Why I use it?

   Mostly used on heavily soiled, rarely cleaned vehicles, a one off process that prepares the lower panels for the snow foam clean and cermaic coating.

Kerrosol is a product reserved for older, high milage vehicles, and those that haven't been cleaned for a while. While it's completely safe to use, I'll generally only use it when its required.
