Full Description

Duel Assault pre-wash snow foam

A pre-wash product designed to provide high-intensity cleaning power and thick foam to remove even the toughest road grime. This product is perfect for those who want to protect their vehicle's existing wax or sealant, as it is safe to use on these protective coatings.

One of the key benefits of Assault pre-wash snow foam is its super foamy formula, which creates a thick layer of foam that clings to the surface of your vehicle. This foam helps to loosen and remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants that can damage your car's finish.

Additionally, the product has excellent cleaning power that effectively removes all types of dirt and grime, leaving your vehicle looking clean and fresh. Its long dwell times allow the foam to penetrate the dirt and grime, making it easier to remove during the rinse.

Another significant advantage of Assault pre-wash snow foam is its ability to clean your car without harming its existing wax or sealant. This feature makes it ideal for those who have already invested in protective coatings for their vehicle and want to maintain them.

Finally, the product has a pleasant apple scent that makes using it a more enjoyable experience.

Expert Notes

Duel Autocare's Assault is an alkaline pre-wash snow foam with an apple scent, designed to cling to painted panels as a thick foam while it dwells and softens road grime and traffic film before the contact wash. It carries a pH of around 11 to 12, mixes at 50ml of product to 450ml of water in a foam lance, and is stated safe on existing wax and sealants, making it a suitable regular first step for a two stage wash. It suits anyone with a foam lance or foam cannon who wants a proper pre-wash on a car with light to moderate road grime. Pair it with a wash mitt, a two bucket wash method and a shampoo for the contact wash that follows.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • All paint types and colours
  • Existing wax and sealants
  • Glass
  • Plastic trim
  • Rubber seals
  • Cars
  • Vans
  • Motorcycles

Caution: Do not let the foam dry on the panel in direct sunlight or on a warm surface, and always rinse thoroughly afterwards.

It takes its time over new products: Flex Polymer Sealant was developed over more than 12 months and Element Hybrid Wax over 14 months. Auto Express has recognised several of them, including Flex, Assault, Profile, Axis and Logic.

Duel wash, wheel and protection products

Pre-wash and wash. Assault is an alkaline snow foam that lifts traffic film without stripping wax or sealant: 50ml with 450ml of water in a foam lance covers a car, left for three to five minutes. Engage is the pH neutral foam for maintenance washes. The Snow Lux coloured snow foams come in Banana Blizzard yellow, Strawberry Storm red, Berry Blanket blue and Apple Alpine green. Nitty Gritty is a non-caustic pre-wash and degreaser for engine bays, door shuts and wheel arches, and Bahama Blue is a concentrated pH neutral shampoo, 15ml to a bucket. For contamination there is BlackJack for tar and glue, and Toxin, a gel iron fallout remover that turns purple as it works.

Wheels and tyres. Axis is an acid-free, alkaline wheel cleaner for clear-coated, painted and diamond cut wheels. Dilute it up to 20:1 for a light clean, about 10:1 for general brake dust and about 5:1 for heavy dirt, and leave it two to three minutes. Cleanse strips old dressing from the tyre wall, then Profile dresses tyres and trim without sling: one layer gives a satin finish, more layers add gloss.

Protection and finishing. Flex is a polymer sealant you spray through a foam lance onto the wet car and rinse off, protecting paint and glass for six to eight weeks, with 20 applications per bottle. Oxide does the same job by hand as a quick detailer and spray sealant. Element Hybrid Wax blends prime yellow T1 carnauba with synthetics for three to four months of protection, and one 100ml tin covers ten or more cars. Nitro is a bilberry scented quick detailer for every exterior surface, and Panel Prep removes oils and polish residue before a wax, sealant or coating.

Duel interior care, air fresheners and microfibre

Interior and glass. Logic is a concentrated interior cleaner for plastics, trim, vinyl, fabric and upholstery, diluted up to 10:1, so a 500ml bottle makes up to five litres. Test fabrics for colour fastness first, and do not use it regularly on leather. Satin cleans and dresses the dashboard, door cards and console in one wipe, leaving an anti-static, low-sheen finish and a lime scent; keep it off the steering wheel, pedals and gear knob. Optical is a high-alcohol glass cleaner that flashes off fast for a streak-free finish: spray it onto the cloth, not the glass. For fabric there is the Pet Hair Remover, a rubber block that pulls hair out of carpets and seats, and the Finger Scrub Mitt, two to a pack.

Air fresheners. Duel's spray scents are Cherry B (Bakewell tart), Fizz Pop (sweet shop), Havana (sugar cane and lime), New Car, Passion (pornstar martini), Pineapple Express, Pour Femme (floral), Pour Homme and Zest (lemon and lime). Kit 2 puts Zest, Fizz Pop and Pour Femme in a mesh bag for the door pocket.

Microfibre, brushes and kit. The Triple Twisted Loop Drying Towel is 1400gsm and 40 x 60cm. The Utility Cloth, in orange or green, has a short pile side to spread or remove product and a plush side to buff. Also the Coral Fleece Cloth, Buff Twin Pack, General Purpose 10 Pack, Glass Cloth (35 x 35cm), Wash Mitt and Laundry microfibre wash, made without conditioners. Brushes come as The Soft One, a 17cm and 23cm pair for gloss black wheels and piano black trim, and The Stiff One for tougher dirt. Kit includes the Snow Foam Lance, a spare 1 litre lance bottle and lid and the 947ml dilution spray bottle with a chemical resistant trigger and marks from 1:1 to 10:1.
