Description:

I've tried Stage One Pre Wash a few times this past December Holiday weekend '05. Stage One is a spray-on liquid that you use one the dirtiest spots of your car prior to the first rinse when washing.

Stage One lifts and loosens dirt without you having to touch the car. The obvious advantage here is that you are not grinding in dirt and grit potentially causing scratches or swirls.

Now I always use a shampoo when washing my cars because I want the lubrication it provides. And of course a good shampoo lifts dirt as well. But using Stage One before I even put a hand to the car really removed an amazing amount of grit-virtually all of it. Far more than just hosing with water. I even tried to replicate my own mix with a diluted shampoo mix. It didn't work nearly as well as Stage One.

Stage One is an almost clear, non-foaming, non-sudsy liquid. Spray a fine mist of it on a dirty car and you can watch the dirt/grit literally start to run off.

I used it on the back of my Mini Cooper S which attracts debris like a magnet. It works great on wheel well areas, around sills, anywhere that gets especially gritty. For me, this is going to be a boon in the winter season when I hate touching the car with the salt stuck all over it. Even with a soaking and shampoo filled mitt it can still cause scratching. Stage One will help a lot.

I had some concerns with what it does to wax durability but so far I have noticed no effects. (I have Zaino Z2 Pro on the test cars.)

Sorry I don't have pictures...the camera has died. But it was pretty amazing. What's more, it felt grit free.

$7.99 for 36oz.
