My car hasn’t been washed since the start of October and sits under a tree most nights, so you can probably imagine what it looks like by now. Oh, and did I mention it has white VAG paint?
Last time I tried to remove this much grime my regular snow foam mix didn’t even make a dent in the layer of crud on the surface, so I feel a stronger prewash applied by pump spray would be better. The only true prewash I have is OCD Citrus Preclean, but I hear there is still a question over its compatibility with waxes – does this mean it will affect sealants also, or only at certain dilutions? I have AS G101 and Glimmermann APCs but feel they would definitely be too strong for a prewash.
Car has been wearing 2 coats of Z2 since August, which has been regularly topped up with Z6 and Z8. Can still see visible beading on the surface, which makes me think there is still a good deal of protection remaining, but could citrus preclean (or any citrus prewash/APC) affect sealant layers, if at all? Or does it really matter seeing as I will probably be finishing with Z6/Z8?
Thanks,
R.
