    PRELUDIO Acidic Presoak for Rinseless & Waterless System

    Labocosmetica PRELUDIO Acidic is an innovative acidic pre-treatment solution specifically designed for use before waterless car washing. This powerful solution effectively removes inorganic mineral contaminants such as limescale stains that traditional neutral cleaners cannot remove. Especially after rain or snowfall, a residue forms that affects the appearance of the vehicle and is difficult to remove without an acidic treatment.

    PRELUDIO Acidic penetrates these stubborn deposits, dissolves them and restores the original shine of the paint without damaging the surface. This formula is particularly effective in preparing the bodywork for a waterless wash, allowing a safe and thorough cleaning without water.

    PRELUDIO Acidic specifically addresses inorganic dirt of mineral origin that requires an acidic pH treatment to dissolve and remove. Unlike pH neutral or alkaline cleaners, it specialises in effectively removing this type of dirt that tends to solidify on the bodywork. A pH neutral or alkaline product is not sufficient to remove this microscopic mineral layer that solidifies and layers on the paint, and this is where the power of PRELUDIO Acidic is essential.

    Labocosmetica PRELUDIO Acidic’s emollient acid formula penetrates limescale deposits and mineral films, dissolving them and lifting them from the surface more quickly and effectively than a neutral or alkaline product. This allows you to remove dirt and contamination that has now softened, minimising the risk of micro scratches on the bodywork of your car. The product is less powerful than a specific product for removing limescale stains and mineral residues, but it is more delicate and respectful of the treated surfaces and can be used for frequent use.

    The acidic formula of PRELUDIO Acidic is unique, thanks to special suspending surfactants that guarantee rapid and effective removal of strongly anchored dirt without compromising the safety of your car.

    Types of dirt removed

    Mineral residues: Often caused by hard water, mineral residues can leave streaks and stains on the surface of the bodywork that an acid pre-wash can remove.

    Limescale deposits: Similar to mineral residues, limescale deposits can form due to the evaporation of water on the bodywork, leaving whitish stains.

    Mineral-laden rains: Sandy rains can leave permanent stains if not treated in time. An acid prewash can neutralise and remove these stains from the bodywork.

    Industrial dirt: Particles and residues from industrial plants can deposit on the bodywork, making it dull and dirty. An acidic prewash helps dissolve and remove these particles.

    Surface oxidation: While it may not act as a specific paint restoration product, an acid prewash can help reduce the appearance of surface oxidation.

    Renews PPF (Paint Protection Film): PRELUDIO Acidic works on the PPF by dissolving and removing residues such as mineral deposits, water stains or other substances that a neutral detergent cannot address. The acidity of the product breaks the chemical bonds between dirt and the PPF surface, allowing the film to be purified without damaging it. The PPF will appear clearer and cleaner, and the car surface will feel smoother to the touch and return to its natural hydrophobicity.

    Labocosmetica PRELUDIO Acidic Dilution Ratios

    • Heavy Dirt: 1:5
    • Moderate Dirt: 1:10
    • Ceramic Coating Rejuvenation: 1:50

    How to use Labocosmetica PRELUDIO Acidic

    • Prepare a bucket with a Grit Guard
    • Dilute IDROSAVE at a ratio of 1:256
    • Fill a spray bottle or pump sprayer with the diluted PRELUDIO
    • Spray the PRELUDIO onto a section of the car to soften the dirt. Treat one panel at a time
    • Allow to act for a maximum of 2 minutes and never let the product dry on the panel
    • Immerse a microfibre wash mitt or sponge into the bucket
    • Gently pass the mitt or sponge over the car without applying pressure
    • Dry the surface with a soft microfibre cloth
    • Treat one panel at a time
    • Repeat the steps for each panel of your vehicle

    Note:
    Never let the product dry on the surface to avoid streaking. Microfibre cloths used with IDROSAVE should not be left to dry and should be washed in the washing machine with TRC Rags to Riches.
