Winter wash - presoak?
Hi Guys!
I'll be visiting either the coin-op or a touch less wash that I've found in the next couple of days to get the salt off of my car while the weather is a bit warmer. Would it be beneficial to presoak with WG Uber to help loosen things up, or am I just wasting good product for no reason.
As always, thanks.

Been there, tried that with Uber at slightly stiffer than rinseless ratio before a touchless wash - saw no benefit from it unfortunately.

Uber will not do much in this situation, unfortunately. APC or Bug Squash would be better on grime/road film.

Winter time I coin op, then always pre soak with Uber or Mckee's N914, then your normal multi towel RW. Then I always apply a spray wax. That is my routine in winter. For the price of product why not presoak?

The touch less wash in my area weak. Expensive & quite pathetic. Coin-op is much better for blasting junk off. Pretreat with lsp-safe apc like Optimum Power Clean or good bug remover should take care of the heavy stuff.

Never tried blasting the crud off then presoaking. Sounds like that would be advantageous for sure

I definitely presoak when doing a Rinseless Wash, but I read OP's scenario as presoaking before pulling into your traditional touchless tunnel wash. That's what I had tried and had no discernible benefit from. Though, thinking about it, that's the only time I've ever been left with squiggles down the side of the car where the jets sprayed the car.

As others stated, a good APC at 1:10 will work. Otherwise, if you have a good pressurized sprayer....mix some car wash soap and water in there and spray via the sprayer, then rinse.
