STEP 1. Versa-Clean (Pre-Treat)

• Spray Versa Clean directly on bugs, dirt, and heavy spots.
• Let it dwell for 1–3 minutes. The longer the contamination has been on the surface, the longer you should let it sit.
• Wipe clean with a hot, wet microfiber towel for best results.
• Repeat on any stubborn areas as needed.
• This preps the car for the wash

PRO TIP: A hot, wet microfiber towel removes contamination fastest.

STEP 2. Foam Wash (Soap)

Bucket Wash Method (Primary):

• Add 1–2 oz of Foam Wash to 1–2 gallons of water in a bucket. (This method will not create heavy suds. This is normal and by design.)
• Dip your towel or mitt, saturate it, and wash panel by panel.
• Wash the entire car evenly.
• Do not rinse or dry. A light film will remain and will dissipate as it dries.
• This prepares the surface for the Rapid Detail protectant.

Optional... Foam Cannon Method (for customers already using a foam cannon):

• Add 3 oz of Foam Wash to 33 oz of water (3 + 33 = 36 oz).
• Apply foam to the entire car using a mitt or microfiber cloth.
• Gently wash panel by panel.
• Rinse the car thoroughly. Foam cannons create heavy suds, so rinsing is required to remove soap and prevent streaking.
• Note: Because this method uses additional water and requires rinsing, it is not part of the simplified 5-step system. The bucket wash delivers the intended no-rinse workflow.

STEP 3. Rapid Detail (Protect)

• Fold a microfiber towel twice into a square.
• Prime the towel with 1–2 sprays of Rapid Detail.
• Spray Rapid Detail directly onto the surface, even if there’s light residue.
• Wipe gently left to right, then use a figure-8 motion to evenly distribute and absorb the product.
• Excess will evaporate. Use a second towel if needed to remove remaining residue.
• This creates the shine and protective layer.

STEP 4. Tire Shine (Finish)

• Apply Tire Shine to an applicator (a round microfiber applicator works best).
• Apply evenly a blob of product about the size of a silver dollar around the tire.
• Let it sit for a high-gloss look, or wipe lightly for a clean, satin finish.
• You may also use it on black plastics (engine bay, trim, etc.).

PRO TIP: For maximum shine, spray directly with a trigger sprayer and leave it.

STEP 5. Best in Glass (Spotless)

• Spray a generous amount of Best in Glass onto the glass.
• Wipe left to right using a figure-8 motion with a clean microfiber towel.
• Flip to a dry side and wipe again for a streak-free finish.

System Notes

• Only one wash bucket is needed, but for even better results, the 2-bucket method reduces the risk of scratching.
• The only water used is to fill the wash bucket.
• No rinsing the car at any point, unless using the foam cannon method.
• No drying the car.
• Products are designed to work together, so each step complements the next.
• The chemistry allows use in direct sunlight without baking into the paint.
• Works well even in high temperature and direct sunlight, but hard water must not be present.
• Follow the wash panel sequence.
• The drier your tire looks, the more product you should use, as it will absorb into the rubber like a sponge.
