We Say
The best time to remove gritty road film is before your wash mitt touches the paint.
Good contact washing starts with getting as much dirt off the car as possible before the mitt comes out. That matters most on the lower panels and front end, where road film and insects can be particularly stubborn.
BETTER Ripper is a citrus pre-wash concentrate designed for use through a pump sprayer. The supplied source guidance gives a 1:10 product-to-water dilution, making it easy to prepare a repeatable mixture rather than guessing each time. We see it as a purposeful first cleaning step rather than a replacement for snow foam or shampoo.
Work from a measured solution, keep an eye on dwell time and rinse thoroughly before contact washing. On protected cars, balance the cleaning strength against how much grime you're dealing with. There's no virtue in using a stronger mix than the job requires.
