The Ceramic
Wash System
A complete three-stage wash routine
The Ceramic Wash System is built for controlled, contactless cleaning and ceramic protection of automotive paintwork and exterior surfaces. It is supplied with two pump-action foam cannons so both foams stay loaded between stages. Read this guide fully before first use and retain it for reference.
- Exterior vehicle washing and maintenance
- Application of Krieger+Wolff cleaning and ceramic products
- Enthusiast and light-duty domestic use
The three-stage routine
On a lightly soiled car, Stages 1 and 3 are a complete routine. Add Stage 2 when the car needs a proper contact wash.
Pre-Wash Snow Foam
Loosens grit, salt and road film before you touch the paint. Dilute 50ml of Pre-Wash Snow Foam into 2 litres of water in Cannon 1. Pressurise, apply top to bottom, and dwell for 3–4 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. No contact required.
Ceramic Shampoo Heavily soiled cars
A contact wash for when the car needs more than a pre-wash. Add 25ml (2 capfuls) to 10 litres of water in a clean wash bucket and wash with a clean mitt. Skip this stage on lighter days.
Ceramic Snow Foam
Cleans while laying down SiO2 ceramic protection as you rinse. Dilute 50ml of Ceramic Snow Foam into 2 litres of water in Cannon 2. Pressurise, apply, and dwell for 3–4 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Protection builds with every wash.
Operation
Each cannon is a manually pressurised, pump-action sprayer with a 2-litre capacity. It operates on hand-pumped air pressure only.
- Unscrew the pump head and fill with diluted product. Do not overfill.
- Refit the pump head securely and check all fittings are tight.
- Pump to pressurise. Do not exceed 15 full strokes. Stop if resistance increases sharply.
- Press the trigger to apply. Adjust the nozzle to control foam thickness.
- After use, release all pressure via the safety valve before unscrewing the head.
Inspect both cannons. Check that the bottle, hose, pump and nozzle are free from damage and securely fitted. Do not use a cannon if any part appears damaged, deformed, cracked or altered.
- Wear suitable protective equipment where appropriate, including gloves and eye protection.
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth. Rinse with water if contact occurs and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
- Do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
- Use only Krieger+Wolff products in the cannons. Never mix chemicals unless the manufacturer specifically allows it.
- Do not use solvents, fuels or corrosive substances.
- Store indoors, away from frost, direct sunlight and extreme heat.
- Recommended storage temperature: 5°C to 30°C.
- Store cannons depressurised. Do not leave a cannon pressurised in storage.
- Reseal all bottles after use.
- Rinse each cannon with clean water after use to prevent product build-up.
- Pump clean water through the nozzle until it runs clear.
- Store with the pump head loosened to relieve seal pressure.
For safety, do not:
- Modify, block or interfere with the safety valve or any component.
- Over-pressurise, or pump beyond the stated stroke limit.
- Attempt repairs to the tank, hose, handle or connections. Replace a damaged cannon rather than repair it.
- Use the cannons with incompatible, corrosive or aggressive chemicals.
- Use the cannons for any purpose other than their intended use.
Failure to follow the instructions, pressurisation limits and safety guidance in this manual may result in product damage, personal injury or loss of performance. Always operate the cannons within their designed limits.
