Först - Citrus Pre-Cleaner

Apply: Spray Först directly onto the affected areas of your vehicle, especially where dirt and grime accumulate — the lower half, rear bumper, and wheel arches.

Dwell: Allow Först to work for a few minutes, breaking down grime and contaminants. Do not allow to dry on the surface.

Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer. Apply only to a wet panel to prevent drying.

Is it safe to use Först on a ceramic coating?

Yes. Whilst Först is a strong alkaline cleaner, it can be used safely on fully cured ceramic coatings. Keep dwell time short and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fresh coatings.

Can I apply Först to the entire car?

It's best to focus on the dirtiest areas like the lower half and rear of the car. This ensures efficient use and prevents product waste.

How does Först compare to snow foam?

Först offers more cleaning power than snow foam because it's sprayed on at full strength without aeration. This allows for better coverage and more effective grime removal.

Do I need a special spray bottle for Först?

Our products come with spray heads to ensure even and efficient application, but for heavy use we'd recommend an IK sprayer.

Can I use Först for regular cleaning?

Yes. Först is excellent for regular cleaning, especially during dirtier seasons like winter. Its powerful formula makes it perfect for tackling tough jobs.

What causes chalky deposits after use?

Strong chemicals can briefly weaken softer finishes during use, especially in hot conditions where they can dry out. Never let a strong product dry out — apply only to a wet panel.

Why has my Först gone clear?

Due to the chemical strength of Först, the pink dye may degrade over time, especially if exposed to direct sunlight. This is normal — the product is still fully effective.
