No situation is the same in the world of washing & degreasing. Different seasons, paint conditions, power washers, etc all play a huge role in how you wash.

STARS + STRIPES arrives SUPER concentrated. Stretch it out or go a little heavier. This is up to you. Wash a small section and adjust your soaps if needed. Use this technique when ever starting a new wash.  

Before applying STARS, we recommend performing a high-PSI pre-rinse to remove any heavy buildup.

Step 1: Apply Stars (Blue)

• Use a foamer or soap nozzle
• Foam bottom-up to avoid streaking
• Dwell time: 30–60 seconds (do not let dry)

Step 2: Apply Stripes (Red)

• Foam directly over Stars, no rinse in between
• Apply again, bottom-up
• Dwell time: another 30–60 seconds

If you’re working on a vehicle with heavy grime or buildup, you can extend the dwell time for better results—just be careful not to let the soap dry on the surface.

Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly

• Rinse left to right, starting at the bottom of the foamed section
• Use high-PSI and stay within 12" of the surface
• Missing a section while rinsing may leave behind road film

(Optional) Step 4: Add Snake Oil For Protection

• Apply after rinse, while vehicle is still wet
• Let sit for 30–60 seconds
• Rinse to reveal a slick, glossy, water-beading finish
