The Ultimate Solution for Bug and Grime Removal

Emporio Automotive, CITRUS BLITZ Bug & Grime Remover is an absolute must-have citrus pre-wash for any car detailing kit, setting the foundation for a truly swirl-free and safe cleaning process.

Its powerful, yet carefully balanced, blend of cutting-edge degreasers, potent cleaning agents, and advanced surfactants works in synergy to effectively lift and effortlessly remove the heaviest soiling, stubborn bug splatters, and pervasive traffic film without the need for abrasive scrubbing. Crucially, this intelligent formula is engineered to be wax, sealant, and ceramic coating safe, ensuring your vehicle's existing layers of protection remain completely intact and uncompromised.

The pre-wash stage is unequivocally critical to safe detailing, regardless of the season or level of grime. By efficiently removing the heaviest contaminants before any physical contact is made with the vehicle, you significantly minimize the risk of introducing swirl marks, scratches, and other paint defects during the subsequent contact wash. CITRUS BLITZ excels at this, tackling the most tenacious grime and safely extracting it from the surface even before your two-bucket contact wash, guaranteeing a thorough yet remarkably gentle clean for your paintwork.

Ready-to-use straight from the bottle, this easy-to-apply spray-on solution leverages advanced surfactants that work at a microscopic level. They actively encapsulate grime, bonding to both dirt and water, effectively pulling contaminants away from the surface without scratching delicate paintwork, clear coats, gloss plastics, or vinyl layers. This ensures a remarkably safe and effective deep clean.

Emporio Automotive, CITRUS BLITZ is designed for supreme versatility and is safe for use on all exterior surfaces, including paintwork, glass, rubber, and various plastics - even sensitive matte and satin finishes. It is gentle enough for delicate applications yet boasts formidable power to tackle oily residues and heavy grease in often-neglected areas like engine bays, fuel flaps, and door jambs. For maximum effectiveness, simply spray liberally onto the soiled area and, if needed, gently agitate with a detailing brush to refresh the solution and boost its cleaning power.

Furthermore, CITRUS BLITZ proves to be an ideal cleaner for protected wheels. When used in conjunction with products like Emporio Automotive, ELIXIR WHEELZ Wheel Coating, it plays a vital role in maintaining the longevity and performance of your wheel coatings by safely lifting grime without compromising the underlying protective layers. Regular use actively prevents the corrosive build-up of contaminants, ensuring a consistently pristine and well-maintained finish on your wheels.

Directions for use:

IMPORTANT: Always work on a cool vehicle surface that is out of direct sunlight. DO NOT allow the product to dry on the surface, as this can lead to stubborn streaking or residue. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection.

1. Inspect & Identify: Begin by inspecting the vehicle to identify areas with heavy soiling, concentrated bug splatter, or stubborn traffic film build-up.
2. Spray Liberally & Evenly: Spray CITRUS BLITZ liberally and evenly onto the affected exterior surfaces. Ensure complete coverage of the soiled areas.
3. Allow to Dwell: Allow the product to dwell on the surface for 3-5 minutes. For exceptionally heavily soiled areas, bug remnants, or oily residues, you may extend the dwell time slightly, but under no circumstances should the product be allowed to dry on the vehicle's surface.
4. Agitate (Optional, for Deep Cleaning): For particularly stubborn grime, baked-on bugs, or oily deposits (e.g., in engine bays, fuel flaps, or door jambs), gently agitate the solution on the surface using a soft detailing brush. This action will help refresh the solution and maximize its cleaning effectiveness.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: IMMEDIATELY and thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle with a strong, consistent stream of clean water (a pressure washer is highly recommended for optimal results). Ensure all product and loosened contaminants are completely flushed away from the surface and out of all panel gaps, crevices, and wheel arches.
6. Proceed to Contact Wash: After the vehicle has been fully rinsed following the pre-wash stage, proceed with your regular two-bucket contact wash using a suitable pH-neutral car shampoo (e.g., Emporio Automotive, PURE SHAMPOO) to complete the cleaning process.
