Maniac Descale Foam Shampoo is a 2-in-1 descaling acid shampoo, designed to eliminate limescale contamination that dulls the bodywork. Descale Foam Shampoo is a valid ally for eliminating mineral deposits after a sandy rain or for removing stains left after a snowfall. It can also be applied to remove annoying stains caused by an incorrect car washing or drying phase.
- Removes limescale contamination often caused by water stains or sandy rain.
- Restores the shine of dull bodywork
- Rejuvenates and enhances the performance of sealants and nanotechnological coatings.
- Removes intense dirt and limescale
- Renews plastics and chrome parts.
- It can also be applied to remove chemical residue and stains caused by incorrect car washing or drying phase.
Thanks to its formula that produces a dense foam, Descale Foam Shampoo offers high lubrication, ensuring a safe and delicate wash thanks to the “Pillow Foam” technique that reduces the risk of creating scratches and abrasions on the paintwork, together with the use of a microfibre mitt.
The Pillow Foam technique is an advanced method that helps protect the vehicle’s paintwork by reducing the risk of scratches and abrasions during washing. The process begins by applying an even layer of highly lubricated foam to the surface of the car, using a foam gun or a handheld sprayer such as our Nebula 2.0. The foam not only lifts and removes dirt, but also creates a protective barrier between the mitt and the bodywork.
If you want to further improve the lubrication when washing your car, a simple trick is to add 1 or 2 capfuls of Descale Foam Shampoo to the “Wash” bucket. This addition will ensure a smoother action, making it easier for the mitt to pass over the surface of the vehicle, minimising friction and, consequently, the risk of scratches.
In case of particular conditions, such as after a sandy rain that leaves more stubborn residues on the bodywork, you can increase the dose to 3 capfuls. This will ensure greater ability to lift and remove the most difficult dirt, making the wash even more effective and ensuring extra protection for your car’s paintwork. The car will be cleaned in a safer and more delicate way, maintaining the shine and quality of the paintwork intact.
Once the foam has been applied, proceed with the manual washing, delicately passing a microfibre mitt directly over the foam. Thanks to the soft and enveloping consistency of the foam, this technique minimizes direct contact between the glove and the paintwork, acting as a real “cushion” that prevents any accidental scratches. This method is particularly suitable for those who want to obtain a deep and safe cleaning, maintaining the integrity and shine of the bodywork without risking damaging it.
Dilution
- Can be used with a foam gun or manual sprayer such as our Nebula Foam 2.0.
- With Foam Gun on stubborn dirt, dilute 1:5; for normal dirt, dilute 1:10.
- With a foamer, like IK Foam Pro 2, dilute 1 litre of water to 1 capful of product, then using the orange nozzle.
Pillow Foam Technique (foam cushion):
- Cover the surface of the car with plenty of foam. This will act as a “cushion”, minimising the risk of accidental scratches on the bodywork when using the microfibre glove.
- Without rinsing the foam, dilute 3 to 5 caps of product in 5 litres of water in the “Wash” bucket, depending on the contamination present, and proceed as a normal car wash with the Double Face microfibre glove or with a microfibre pad such as our Comfort Car Wash Pad.
Rinsing and drying:
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with the Super Dryer microfibre cloth
Helpful tips:
- Add 1-2 caps of shampoo to the Wash bucket for greater lubrication of the foam, or 3 caps to remove stains caused by sandy rain.
- For maintenance washing, use the Descale Foam Shampoo with Pillow Foam Technique alternating with a neutral shampoo such as our Neutral Foam Shampoo.
- When preparing the bodywork for polishing or applying waxes, sealants and protectors, Descale Foam Shampoo can be used after decontaminating the car with Iron Remover for a subsequent mechanical decontamination phase.
Cleaning Maintenance of rims and removal of intense dirt:
- Dilute Descale Foam Shampoo 1:10 in the graduated bottle.
- For the maintenance of rims, after a deep cleaning with Wheel & Tyre Cleaner spray diluted Descale Foam Shampoo, leave it to act for a few seconds, then rinse thoroughly.
- Use a soft bristle brush to reach the gaps such as parts of the rim that are difficult to clean, plastic and chrome.
- On the lower parts of the bodywork, in the presence of more intense limescale stains, always spray the product diluted 1:10, leave it to act for a few seconds and proceed with the Pillow Foam technique for a complete wash.
