This 3ph is a bomb, I did it a few days ago on a car that only had an old wet-application type QD on top as protection, two months without being washed and covered in muddy-sandy rain cause that's the daily routine here in Italy. Also I didn't had Idrosave cause I forgot to get a new bottle so I've used some Absolute from P&S (it doesn't have any protection). Having only an old diluted QD and no real protection a lot of it was completely gone obviously, but it was a nice surprise to find entire panels beading nicely and completely restored even on the lower parts. GG to Labo as always
@@reggycox Okay good to know, the microfiber just looked a bit dry, so I was a bit confused. :) The last time I used Preludio, both alkaline and acidic, I applied first the alkaline solution to my car, and after dwelling - applied a pH neutral rinseless wash on top of it - and washed with a mitt. After that, I applied the Preludio acidic, and after the dwelling time - covered it with my ordinary rinseless - and washed the car again. That result was great :)
Is it possible that acidic Purifica leaves something behind that changes the surface tension? Something similar perhaps with this video for a waterspot remover from another brand? ruclips.net/video/QVK5ft1TTdM/видео.html
@@drtassos273 that was an excellent video by him. With Purifica nothing is left behind except surfactants if not properly rinsed. What Purifica does is remove the minerals that change water behavior. On a protected car it can revive the beads but on an non-protected car it can only make some sheeting by removing mineral deposits.
@@reggycox I really meant acidic Preludio but I typed Purifica. I suppose that the same applies to acidic Preludio and Energo (the fact that they leave nothing behind)?
@drtassos273, Just my opinion but I believe the video you linked is a little misleading as I can clearly see that every time he applies his soap solution it is leaving some form of surfactant behind, which made it look like he negated the effects of the WSR product used. I bet if he had sprayed the panel with 91% IPA then rinsed again you would have seen suds flying off. Not bashing him, but the surfactants in the soaps he is using aren't rinsing away cleanly. OH and just to clarify... I am NOT sold on that WSR product so I am not defending it. I would need to test it in my environment more.
Good video Reggie. Interesting stuff! As we know, maintenance is key!
Shine on you crazy diamond! 🚘
Nice video. Preludio(s) are great for sure.
Great video Reggie. Love labo products
Great video! Super good tips!
Super useful, thanks Reggy!
Great Video thx Reggy 🎉

Very informative Video Reggie thanks for putting out hopefully will use mine soon 🇬🇧

Great Video Reggy! Was looking forward to you doing this one!
Bit confused here, first you apply the alkaline solution on the dirty panel - the microfiber you remove it with afterwards - is it soaked in Idrosave?
@@jpd9047 yes, I had to downgrade the dilution of Idrosave to 1:400 to minimize the chance of adding protection.

@@jpd9047 indeed the towel was not soaked very well to emphasize the working of the preludios. Your approach sounds great🤙

Thanks man! Appreciate it! Keep up the good work :D ..

@drtassos273 aah ok I understand. For Preludio indeed is it the same concept, removing those mineral deposits.
