2. Fill the rest with water
3. Shake to mix
4. Foam the vehicle bottom-up
5. Let dwell for 30–60 seconds
6. Rinse top-down with high pressure

3. Apply foam bottom-up, dwell 30–60 seconds
4. Switch to rinse nozzle and rinse thoroughly

Dilution Guidelines

Recommended Metering Tip:

• Start with blue (70:1) or green (100:1) dosing nozzle for downstream use
• Adjust for water hardness, soap strength, and desired foam output

What Old Glory Cleans

• Road film and grime
• Bug splatter
• Bird droppings
• Organic debris
