Optimum car wash is designed to remove the toughest automotive grime while it leaves behind a great shine. The rich foaming lather traps and encapsulates dirt and rinses completely clean leaving no film behind. Optimum car wash is very concentrated and using 1 oz. or less per gallon of water will give you the desired results. Some car wash products, as well as automated car washes will strip any wax (and UV protection) off the surface of your vehicle, leaving the clear coat unprotected. Optimum car wash will not strip the wax off your vehicle and will leave it with a great shine. This product is gentle and safe and only bio-degradable ingredients are used so it is safe for the environment as well.
