These innovative products from Labocosmetica are designed to enhance cleaning efficiency and protect your vehicle's surfaces. By understanding how to effectively use these two formulations, you can achieve superior cleaning results while minimizing the risk of surface damage.

Step 1: Understanding Preludio Alkaline and Acidic

Before using these products, it's important to grasp their specific functions:

• Preludio Alkaline:

  • Formulated to dissolve stubborn organic dirt.
  • Ideal for tackling grease, oils, and other organic contaminants.

• Preludio Acidic:

  • Targets inorganic dirt, particularly mineral residues like limescale.
  • Works effectively to restore shine and remove dullness caused by mineral contamination.

Practical Tip

Always choose the right product based on the type of dirt you need to clean. Using the wrong formulation may not yield the desired results.

Step 2: Preparing for the Wash

Gather your materials and prepare the area:

• Materials Needed:

  • Preludio Alkaline
  • Preludio Acidic
  • Soft microfiber cloths
  • Bucket (for rinseless method)
  • Spray bottle (for application)

• Preparation Steps:

  1. Choose a shaded area to perform the wash to prevent product drying too quickly.
  2. Ensure the vehicle surface is cool to the touch.

Common Pitfall to Avoid

Avoid washing in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces as it can lead to streaking and ineffective cleaning.

Step 3: Applying Preludio Alkaline

Follow these steps when using Preludio Alkaline:

1. Dilute the Product:

   • If necessary, dilute according to the instructions on the label.

2. Application:

   • Spray Preludio Alkaline directly onto the areas with organic dirt.

3. Agitate:

   • Use a microfiber cloth to gently agitate the surface, allowing the emollient to penetrate and lift the dirt.

4. Wipe Off:

   • Wipe the area clean with a fresh microfiber cloth.

Practical Tip

Use a different cloth for wiping than the one used for applying the product to prevent recontamination.

Step 4: Applying Preludio Acidic

After using Preludio Alkaline, proceed with Preludio Acidic:

1. Dilute the Product:

   • Follow the dilution guidelines provided on the label, if applicable.

2. Application:

   • Spray Preludio Acidic on surfaces affected by mineral deposits.

3. Agitate:

   • Use a microfiber cloth to agitate and help lift residues.

4. Wipe Off:

   • Clean the area with a separate microfiber cloth for a flawless finish.

Common Pitfall to Avoid

Do not mix the alkaline and acidic products directly, as this can neutralize their effectiveness.

Step 5: Combining with Idrosave

For optimal cleaning results, you can use Preludio in combination with Idrosave:

1. Use the 3pH Combined Washing System:

   • This system leverages the strengths of both products to tackle various types of dirt effectively.

2. Follow the Application Sequence:

   • Start with Preludio Alkaline, followed by Preludio Acidic, and finally, use Idrosave as a final rinse or protective step.

Practical Tip

This combination is especially useful for detailing professionals looking to save time while ensuring high-quality results.
