Introduction

Setup

Before beginning the wash process, ensure your vehicle is cool to the touch and out of direct sunlight to prevent premature drying of the shampoo. Gather your washing equipment, including two buckets (one for wash solution, one for rinsing your wash mitt), a grit guard for each bucket, a high-quality wash mitt, and a hose or pressure washer.

Dilution Instructions:

CARPRO Reset is highly concentrated. A small amount is sufficient for effective cleaning.

• For Bucket Wash: Add approximately 1 ounce (30ml) of CARPRO Reset to a 5-gallon wash bucket. Fill the bucket with water, preferably using a strong stream to generate suds.
• For Foam Cannon/Gun: Dilute 50ml of CARPRO Reset in 750ml of water in your foam cannon reservoir. Adjust dilution as needed based on your foam cannon and desired foam thickness.

Operating Instructions

1. Pre-Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle with water to remove loose dirt and debris. This helps prevent scratching during the wash process.
2. Foam Application (Optional but Recommended): If using a foam cannon, apply a generous layer of foam over the entire vehicle. Allow the foam to dwell for 3-5 minutes to loosen dirt, but do not let it dry on the surface.

3. Two-Bucket Wash Method:
   • Dip your clean wash mitt into the wash solution bucket.
   • Wash one section of the vehicle at a time, working from top to bottom.
   • After washing each section, rinse your mitt thoroughly in the rinse water bucket before returning it to the wash solution. This prevents transferring dirt back to the vehicle's surface.
4. Final Rinse: Rinse the entire vehicle thoroughly with clean water, ensuring all soap residue is removed. Work from top to bottom.

5. Drying: Dry the vehicle immediately using a clean, soft microfiber drying towel or a car blower to prevent water spots.

Maintenance

CARPRO Reset is specifically designed to maintain the performance and longevity of ceramic coatings and nanotechnology-based sealants. Its pH-neutral formula ensures that it cleans without stripping or degrading these protective layers. Regular use of Reset will help to:

• Preserve the hydrophobic properties of your coating.
• Prevent mineral deposits and water spots from accumulating.
• Maintain the gloss and slickness of the coated surface.

For optimal results, wash your vehicle regularly with CARPRO Reset to remove contaminants before they can bond to the surface.

Troubleshooting

While CARPRO Reset is a straightforward product, here are some common considerations:

• Poor Suds/Foam: Ensure proper dilution ratio. Hard water can sometimes reduce sudsing; consider using filtered water if this is a persistent issue. For foam cannons, check the pressure washer's PSI and GPM, and ensure the foam cannon is clean and functioning correctly.
• Water Spots: Always wash and rinse the vehicle in a shaded area and dry immediately after rinsing. Do not allow the shampoo or rinse water to dry on the surface.
• Residue After Rinsing: Ensure thorough rinsing of all vehicle surfaces. If using a foam cannon, ensure it's properly calibrated and not applying too thick a solution that might be difficult to rinse off completely.
