Labocosmetica is known worldwide for creating concentrated, high-performance car care products that can be diluted for the detailing task at hand. Their products are a favourite among both professional detailers and dedicated enthusiasts - and now they’ve made their system even easier to use with a brand-new range of Ready-to-Use (RTU) solutions.
The idea is simple: no dilution ratios, no measuring, no wasted time - just grab the bottle and start detailing. With precise formulations, you get consistent results every time, whether you’re maintaining your own pride and joy or working on customer vehicles.
We should also mention that each product has been a ground-up development, not watered-down versions of existing products. So what you're buying is Labocosmetica's best work in a bottle, for your convenience.
Why Ready-to-Use Products Make a Difference
Traditional concentrates have their place, but (as you probably know) they require preparation, which takes time and getting the dilution wrong can affect performance. RTU products eliminate that risk and help you:
- Save time – Perfect for quick jobs or high-volume workflows.
- Achieve consistent results – Every bottle delivers the same cleaning power.
- Work anywhere – Ideal for mobile detailers or quick touch-ups in the driveway.
Meet the New Labocosmetica RTU Range
If you haven't met the new products, allow us to introduce you to:
INITIO is your first step to a swirl-free wash. This is an alkaline pre-wash that safely loosens dirt, road grime and traffic film before your snow foam and contact wash stage, reducing the risk of scratching your paintwork.
Despite its cleaning power, it’s gentle on coatings, sealants and waxes. This is something that surely can't be true, but Labocosmetica's chemical science is next-level, so you're genuinely able to remove the toughest grime and still maintain protective layers.
🔥 Another huge selling point of INITIO is that, if by chance it dries, you can reactivate it with either more product or water!
The closest competitor to INITIO would be Stjärnagloss FÒRST, however you cannot let it dry and it will strip protective layers. So, with INITIO, you're truly getting a new go-to, ready-to-use pre-wash.
- INITIO is best for: Prepping paintwork before your maintenance wash.
- How To Use: Spray generously onto a cool, dry surface and allow to dwell for 2–3 minutes before rinsing.
VARIUS is a versatile all-purpose-cleaner (APC) that's designed to handle a wide variety of tasks inside and outside your car. From dashboard plastics to engine bays and wheel arches, it delivers strong cleaning performance without harshness.
It has performance characteristics of Ductile APC and Omnia, Labocosmetica's interior cleaner. This means you'll get fantastic results based on both of these products combined.
- Best for: Interior plastics, exterior trims, engine bays, tyres, wheel arches.
- How To Use: For interior work, spray onto a microfibre or brush instead of directly onto surfaces to avoid overspray. Agitate and wipe away. For exterior jobs, spray, agitate wipe away or rinse depending on what you're working on.
TEXIA targets dirt, stains and odours in carpets, cloth upholstery and even delicate materials like Alcantara. It deep-cleans without damaging fibres, leaving interiors looking and smelling fresh.
- Best for: Cloth seats, carpets, floor mats and Alcantara upholstery.
- How To Use: Simply spray, agitate with a detailing brush or scrub pad, wipe away or extract depending on the severity of the soiling.
- Pro tip: For stubborn stains, allow TEXIA to dwell for 1–2 minutes before gently agitating with a soft brush.
How to Integrate the New RTU Range into Your Routine
The beauty of the new Labocosmetica RTU line is how easily it slots into your existing detailing process:
- Pre-wash with INITIO to safely remove loose contamination.
- Buzz around trim and plastics with VARIUS as part of your wash.
- Refresh interiors with TEXIA for spotless, fresh-smelling upholstery.
If you already use other Labocosmetica favourites, like SÈMPER (shampoo), HYDRA (trim dressing) or CUPÌDO (spray sealant), these new products will complement them perfectly.
For the Best Results:
- Always work out of direct sunlight to prevent premature drying. This isn't so important for INITIO, but it's a solid rule-of-thumb.
- Use separate cloths for interior and exterior cleaning to avoid cross-contamination.
- Start with the least aggressive method (e.g., soft brushes) before moving up to stronger agitation for stubborn marks.
