Labocosmetica INITIO Alkaline Pre-Wash 1L

Labocosmetica INITIO Ready-to-Use Alkaline Pre-Wash – Professional Touchless Pre-Cleaner with DryShield™ Technology

Start every wash the right way with Labocosmetica INITIO Ready-to-Use Alkaline Pre-Wash—an innovative, professional-grade touchless pre-wash designed to safely remove stubborn road grime, insects, traffic film, oils, and environmental contaminants before contact washing. Engineered for both beginners and professional detailers, INITIO delivers powerful cleaning performance with maximum simplicity—no dilution, no foam cannon, and no complicated mixing ratios.

Simply spray, allow it to dwell, and rinse away heavy contamination before your hand wash. By removing dirt prior to touching the paint, INITIO dramatically reduces the risk of swirl marks and wash-induced scratches, making it an essential first step in any safe detailing routine.

At the heart of INITIO is exclusive DryShield™ Technology, a breakthrough innovation that slows evaporation during the dwell phase. Even when the product appears to have dried, its cleaning action doesn't stop—it pauses. As soon as it comes into contact with water during rinsing, the surfactants reactivate and continue breaking down contamination for maximum cleaning performance. This makes INITIO exceptionally effective even in warmer conditions or on sun-heated panels.

Developed by Labocosmetica and Mafra Laboratories, INITIO is a ready-to-use alkaline pre-wash that delivers professional results while remaining safe on virtually every exterior automotive surface—including paintwork, plastics, glass, wheels, rubber seals, aluminium, ceramic coatings, waxes, and paint sealants.

Certified to stringent VDA material safety standards, INITIO is one of the safest ready-to-use alkaline pre-washes available, providing powerful cleaning without compromising delicate finishes or existing protective coatings.

Apply to:

• Paintwork

• Glass

• Wheels

• Plastic trim

• Rubber seals

Step 3 – Allow to Dwell

Professional Detailing Tip
