Best High pH Pre Wash for Heavy Grime
Will CarPro Lift leave white residue on my plastic trim?
No this product is specifically formulated to offer maximum wetting and rinses away easily without leaving behind unsightly white streaks or chalky residues on rubber and plastic. The high quality alkyl surfactants ensure that the cleaning agents bind to the dirt rather than the surface. Always ensure you rinse the panels thoroughly with pressurized water to remove all emulsified grime.
Does CarPro Lift strip my existing ceramic coating or wax?
This product is safe for high quality ceramic coatings like CQuartz when used at the recommended dilutions because coatings are designed to withstand alkaline chemicals. However it contains the punch of an all purpose cleaner and will likely strip or significantly degrade traditional carnauba waxes and light sealants at a 1:10 ratio. Use this as a prep tool when you plan to refresh your protection layers.
How do I fix CarPro Lift drying on the paint during a hot day?
If the foam begins to dry you must immediately re-apply a fresh layer of foam or water to re-wet the surface before rinsing. Never attempt to wipe away dried soap as this can lead to marring. To avoid this common mistake always work on cool surfaces in the shade and rinse the vehicle panel by panel if you are working in a warm environment to keep the chemistry active.
Can I store a pre-mixed bottle of CarPro Lift for several months?
It is best to use your diluted mixture within a few weeks to ensure the surfactants remain fully stable and effective. While the concentrated product has a long shelf life when stored in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight pre-mixing with tap water can introduce minerals that might slowly degrade the performance over time. Always shake the foam cannon bottle well before each use.
