Heavy-Duty Pre-Wash Power for a Safer Hand Wash

Fireball Alkaline Pre-Wash is a high-strength, pH>12 pre-wash designed to break down stubborn dirt, bug splatter, and road grime before you touch the paint. By removing tough surface contamination first, it helps reduce the risk of swirls and scratches during the wash process.

Formulated for professional detailers but easy enough for anyone to use, Alkaline Pre-Wash is safe on all exterior surfaces, including paint, ceramic coatings, plastics, trims, and PPF.

Why We Recommend It:

• Very high concentration – use as little as 1:50

• Powerful cleaning with pH >12 alkaline formula

• Breaks down road grime, bugs, traffic film, and grease

• Designed for foam cannons or pump sprayers

• Stronger than pH-neutral foams

• Foams less, but cleans more

• Safe on paint, coatings, trims, and PPF

• Available in 500ml or 4L trade size

How to Use:

🧴 For General Pre-Wash Use (Foam Cannon):
Dilute between 1:30 to 1:50 depending on grime level.
Spray onto a cool, dry surface. Let dwell for 2–5 minutes.
Do not let dry. Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer.

🧴 For Ceramic Coating Maintenance:
Dilute at 1:150 to safely maintain and deep clean coated surfaces.

⚠️ Note:
Alkaline pre-washes do not foam as much as pH-neutral versions—but they clean more powerfully. This is ideal for heavily contaminated vehicles or as a prep before polishing or ceramic application.
