    Labocosmetica's 3pH Maintenance Wash System is built around a simple idea: not all dirt responds to the same chemistry. This system proves invaluable whether the vehicle is already protected or not, making it an indispensable tool for achieving optimal results in automotive maintenance.

    When washing a car, thorough cleaning is essential, but removing the dirt and contaminants that build up on the bodywork often means using a product with a specific pH, not one product for everything.

    Why Three Products

    Comprehensive cleaning. Combines alkaline, acid and neutral pH products for an all-round clean that addresses every type of dirt and contaminant.

    Safe and effective. Certified safe for all paint types, including delicate finishes and modern protective coatings.

    Maintains protective layers. Enhances and prolongs the life of previously applied ceramic coatings, waxes and sealants.

    The 3pH Maintenance Wash System acts on all types of dirt and contaminants, decontaminating car paint and removing mineral salts, road dirt, limescale, acid rain residue and chemical contaminants that aren't always visible to the eye, the kind of buildup that fades colour and lowers the performance of protection already applied to the car. Each product's pH targets a different type of dirt, without corroding the protective products already on the paint, and every product is certified safe on delicate paints and surfaces.

    Step 1: Primus 2.0, Alkaline

    1

    Labocosmetica PRIMUS 2.0

    Alkaline Foam Pre Wash
    pH 11 · Alkaline

    Removes residue of organic origin, road dirt, oil, bugs and organic residue.

    1:5Foam cannon, winter
    1:10Foam cannon, summer
    1:10Spray bottle, spot pre-treatment
    • Dispense from bottom to top
    • Leave for 5 minutes until the foam dissolves, so it can perform the cleaning action
    • Rinse starting from the bottom upwards

    Step 2: Purifica, Acidic

    2

    Labocosmetica PURIFICA

    Decontaminant Acid Shampoo
    pH 3 · Acidic

    Removes residue of inorganic origin, limescale, water marks and acid rain residue. Rejuvenates a ceramic coating, wax or sealant that's lost its hydrophobic beading, dissolving and sequestering calcium, mineral deposits and acid rain contamination gently but effectively.

    1:10Foam cannon, pre-wash
    1:10Spray bottle, spot pre-treatment
    • Dispense from bottom to top
    • Leave for 2–4 minutes until the foam dissolves, so it can perform the cleaning action
    • Do not rinse off, continue straight to Step 3

    Step 3: Semper, Neutral

    3

    Labocosmetica SEMPER

    Shampoo pH Neutral
    pH 7.5 · Neutral

    The mechanical wash step. Semper contains no waxes or gloss enhancers, so its super-lubricated formula glides smoothly during washing without leaving streaks, and it's safe on glass too. Its lather is developed to dissolve dirt, encapsulate it and keep it in suspension so it lifts away safely.

    1:1000Standard bucket wash

    Its neutral pH won't alter the decontaminating work Purifica already did in Step 2, giving you a double mechanical and chemical decontamination in one pass.
