How to Use SOFT99 Neutral Shampoo Creamy Type
1. Pre-Rinse the Vehicle
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with water to remove loose dirt, dust, sand, and other surface debris. This helps reduce the risk of scratching during contact washing.
2. Prepare the Shampoo Solution
For bucket washing, add approximately 75–100mL of shampoo to 10L of water. Adjust the amount according to your preferred foam level and washing method.
3. Create Rich Foam
Agitate the solution to generate a thick layer of suds. If applying directly to a wet wash sponge or mitt, add a suitable amount of shampoo and work it into a rich lather.
4. Wash the Vehicle
Using a clean wash mitt or sponge, gently wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Work in manageable sections and keep the surface well lubricated.
Start with the cleaner upper panels and leave heavily contaminated lower panels and wheels until last.
5. Rinse Thoroughly
After washing, rinse the vehicle completely with clean water to remove all remaining shampoo and foam. Do not allow concentrated product to remain on the surface.
6. Dry the Vehicle
Use a clean, soft microfiber drying towel to remove remaining water droplets. This helps minimize the risk of water spots and mineral deposits.
Using Neutral Shampoo Creamy Type with a Foam Sprayer
This shampoo is compatible with both water-driven and air-driven foamers, making it suitable for pre-wash foam application as well as traditional hand washing.
For foam application:
Follow the recommended dilution ratio for your specific foamer.
Apply an even layer of foam across the vehicle.
Allow the foam to loosen surface dirt without letting the product sit on the paint for an extended period.
Rinse thoroughly before proceeding with contact washing.
Complete the wash using a clean wash mitt and properly diluted shampoo solution if necessary.
Important: Foam application is not a substitute for contact washing when bonded or stubborn dirt remains on the vehicle.
