DIRECTIONS / TIPS / DILUTIONS

Directions

STEP 1: Deploy Stars (Acid Pre-Wash)

  • Foam Stars bottom-up, coat fully.
  • Dwell 30–60 sec, don’t let it dry.
  • Don't rinse before applying Stripes. Stars breaks down grime, bugs, and salt for Stripes’ finish.

STEP 2: Follow with Stripes (Alkaline Detergent)

  • Foam Stripes over Stars.
  • Apply bottom-up.
  • Dwell for 30–60 seconds, don’t let it dry.
  • Watch the acid-alkaline reaction melt road film before your eyes.

STEP 3: Rinse with Purpose

  • Pressure wash bottom-up for coverage, then top-down to flush.
  • Hold 12″ away from the surface for max impact.
Tips / Tricks

Try not to wash in direct sunlight:

  • This will greatly accelerate drying.
  • When washing mirror polished aluminum always make sure aluminum is cool to the touch before applying soap and never let soaps dry.
  • If it's too hot to touch we recommend a cold water pre-rinse.

Prevent water spots:

  • After rinsing, dry the surface to prevent any water spots from forming. However, if you plan to follow up your wash with Snake Oil, apply Snake Oil before drying your vehicle.
  • Consider using a leaf blower for efficiency or, even better, a drying towel with a spray detailer for a flawless finish.

For better results:

  • 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.
