Auto Finesse Citrus Power Pre-Wash Cleaner

Auto Finesse Citrus Power Bug & Grime Remover is a must-have citrus pre-wash for any car detailing kit. Designed to deliver a swirl-free pre-wash, its powerful blend of degreasers, cleaning agents, and advanced surfactants effectively lifts and removes heavy soiling, bugs, and traffic film without scrubbing. Best of all, it won’t strip away existing waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings, ensuring your car’s protection remains intact.

The pre-wash stage is critical to safe detailing, regardless of the season. Removing the heaviest contaminants before making contact with the vehicle minimizes the risk of swirl marks and paint defects. Citrus Power tackles stubborn grime, safely extracting it before your two-bucket contact wash, ensuring a thorough yet gentle clean.

Ready-to-use straight from the bottle, this easy-to-apply spray-on solution uses advanced surfactants that encapsulate grime, lifting it from the surface for a safe rinse. These surfactants work at a microscopic level, bonding to grime and water, pulling contaminants away without scratching paintwork, clear coats, gloss plastics, or vinyl layers.

Safe for use on all exterior surfaces including paintwork, glass, rubber, and plastics - even matte and satin finishes - Auto Finesse Citrus Power is gentle enough for delicate applications yet powerful enough to tackle oily residues in engine bays, fuel flaps, and door jambs. Simply spray liberally and agitate with a detailing brush to refresh the solution and maximise its effectiveness.

Auto Finesse Citrus Power is also an ideal cleaner for protected wheels. When used with products like Auto Finesse Mint Rims Wheel Wax, it helps maintain the longevity of wheel coatings by safely lifting grime without compromising the protective layers. Regular use prevents the buildup of corrosive contaminants, ensuring a pristine finish.

For a complete detailing routine, consider pairing Auto Finesse Citrus Power with complementary products from Auto Finesse as part of the pre-wash stage



Auto Finesse Avalanche Snow Foam – Pre-wash snow foam that clings to surfaces, breaking down grime gently.


Auto Finesse Lather Car Shampoo – A luxurious, high-foaming shampoo that provides excellent lubrication for safe washing.


Auto Finesse Iron Out Contaminant Remover – Targets embedded iron particles for a deep decontamination process.



Experience the power of Citrus Power Bug & Grime Remover and achieve a safer, more effective car cleaning routine.

I use this as a tire cleaner and for getting in the small tight areas with a detailing brush. I find it very effective and doesn't seem to hurt waxes etc like other products do. Excellent product. The 1 litre bottle lasts a long time so is good value for money

Useful but a little bit disappointing... Thought I would try this product based on claims that it would not affect waxes, sealants etc but they are not accurate. I compared Citrus Power on half the car against the other half snow foamed, and the CP definitely removed some beading - revealed both on initial rinse and post-shampoo wash and rinse. It has a use - wheels, tyres, wheelarches and areas of really heavy soiling, (and it's nothing like as aggressive as TFR) but I wouldn't recommend it for bodywork if you already have a wax or sealant coating (Collinite plus Sonax BSD in my case) unless you are about to replace it.

I'm impressed with this product. Very friendly to the paint and smells pleasant while you use it. After doing over 400 miles in a fortnight the car was pretty bad especially with the autumn rain. There was a lot of dirt on the lower sections of the car which needed attention, this product worked perfectly as a pre-wash. Spray on the vehicle while it is wet and give it 5-10 mins to do its thing. Rinse off and watch the loose dirt fall off the car so smoothly before you begin the main shampoo stage.

Citrus Power can be quite a niche product. It doesn't have the power of a tar and bug remover such as Auto-Finesse Obli-TAR-ate but it also doesn't strip sealants and waxes. I tend to find the best times and places to use this product are the lower sills and bumpers of the car between sealant and wax applications. It isn't required every wash but rather when a vehicle hasn't been washed for several weeks and bugs have bonded to the paintwork and become stubborn to remove. This product deals with them instantly without the need for elbow grease. Will it remove tar from paintwork, no. Will it remove stubborn bugs, yes. Will it remove sealant and wax, no. Will it last longer and be cheaper to use between sealant applications, yes. At £8.95 this is a cheaper product to use bi-weekly than a tar and bug remover. Save obli-TAR-ate for just before you apply a wax or sealant.

Awesome product from Auto Finesse, I use it as a TFR for lower half of the car underneath a coat of snow foam, it really can give you a touch less wash. brilliant at removing bug splatter in summer and just as good on winter grime.

Very good pre wash, not as good as snow foam but no jet wash required! Easy to apply and loosens dirt effectively to enable removal of most with normal hose.
