Labocosmetica PRIMUS 2.0 | pH 11 Alkaline Snow Foam Pre-Wash | VDA Certified

Labocosmetica PRÌMUS 2.0 — pH 11 Alkaline Snow Foam Pre-Wash

Prìmus 2.0 was the world's first pre-wash to earn VDA certification — independent German testing that proves a product is safe on the surfaces it touches: paint, alloys, trim, PPF, rubber and coatings. That matters here because most alkaline foams get their grunt from caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), which cleans well and quietly attacks bare aluminium, rubber and your protection layers. Prìmus carries no free caustic salts. It uses safer alkaline surfactant chemistry to do the same job — lift the heavy organic soiling — without the collateral damage.

At pH 11 it's a true alkaline pre-wash: thick, clinging foam with a long dwell time, built-in lubrication to reduce wash-induced scratching, and enough versatility to run anywhere from a heavy 1:5 winter mix down to a 1:100 maintenance rinse.

The Labocosmetica pH range (all products may be used independently too):

• Prìmus 2.0: Alkaline pre-wash (pH 11)
• Nève: pH-neutral foam pre-wash
• Purìfica: Acid pre-wash (pH below 3)

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

• VDA-certified. The gold standard for surface safety — and rare, because passing it means reformulating until the chemistry is genuinely safe, not just labelled that way.
• Alkaline power, no free caustic. Safer alkaline surfactant chemistry instead of sodium hydroxide. Strong on grime, gentle on aluminium, trim and coatings.
• Part of the 3pH cycle. The alkaline first move in the Labocosmetica wash system.
• Clinging, long-dwell foam. Holds to vertical panels so it has time to work before you rinse.
• Integrated lubrication. Reduces the risk of marring while the foam carries grit off the surface.
• One bottle, many jobs. From heavy pre-wash to frequent maintenance, just by changing dilution.

DIRECTIONS

For wheels and tyres, dilute 1:3 to 1:10. For the lower parts of the car — side members, bumpers, or removing bug splatter — use 1:20. For very dirty cars, 1:50, dispensing from the bottom up; for medium-dirty cars, 1:80; for frequent washing, 1:100.

Foam gun: respect the normal dilutions to get a delivery output like those recommended for the spray dispenser. The final dilution varies with the pressure washer used — we generally recommend 1:5 for winter dirt and 1:10 for summer dirt. After application, wait a few minutes and rinse at high pressure.

1. Dilute 1:5–1:15 depending on contamination, then foam the whole vehicle, wheels and rims with a foam gun.
2. Rinse after 3–5 minutes.

Double action

1. In a bottle, dilute 1:5 and spray the lower bodywork, where most contamination accumulates.
2. Switch to the foam gun and coat the entire vehicle with foam again.
3. Wait 3–5 minutes and rinse.

DILUTION

• WHEELS AND TYRES 1:3 – 1:10
• LOWER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE 1:20 (side rails and bumpers, or to remove bug splatter)
• VERY DIRTY VEHICLES 1:50 (dispense from the bottom upwards)
• MEDIUM-DIRTY VEHICLES 1:80 (dispense from the bottom upwards)
• FREQUENT WASHING 1:100
• WINTER DIRT (FOAM GUN) 1:5
• SUMMER DIRT (FOAM GUN) 1:10
