Mosschem pre-wash and shampoo

Mosschem pre-wash and shampoo

Snow foam. Megafoam is a highly concentrated, very thick snow foam that clings to the car for longer dwell, loosening dirt, traffic film and road grime before the contact wash. It dilutes up to 50:1: add 50 to 200ml to your foam lance bottle, depending on how thick you want the foam.

Citrus pre-wash. Citrus Wash blends detergents with citrus-based cleaning agents for road grime, traffic film, bug residue and moss on paint, plastics, vinyl, rubber and wheel areas. It is concentrated, so you dilute it to suit the job, and it goes on cool surfaces.

The full pre-wash. The Pre Wash System Bundle puts Non Acidic Wheel Cleaner, Traffic Film Remover and Ultra Snow Foam together in the order trade valeters work: wheels first, heavy grime second, then the whole car in foam.

Shampoo. Luxe Luxury Shampoo is a pearlised shampoo with rich foam and plenty of lubrication that lifts dirt and traffic film and leaves a glossy finish. It dilutes up to 2000:1 and has a cherry almond fragrance.

Mosschem decontamination, interior and tyres

Mosschem decontamination, interior and tyres

Fallout. Purify is a ready to use, non-acidic fallout remover for embedded iron, brake dust and industrial fallout on clear-coated paint, alloys, glass and plastics. It changes colour as it reacts, so you can see the contamination coming out.

Interior fabrics. Extract is a high-foaming, water-based cleaner that lifts dirt, grime and water marks from carpets, seats, mats, roof linings and fabric trim, and it is suitable for interior plastics and rubber too.

Tyres. Tyre Shine is a ready to use rubber and plastic dressing in trade sizes, for a rich, dark, high-gloss finish on tyres, rubber trims, window rubbers and plastic arches that resists wash-off.

Working safely. Test any cleaner on a hidden area first, keep products off a hot surface, and rinse decontamination products away before they dry.
