I rarely pre treat but I sometimes use Zout Action Foam with triple enzymes. Works well on oily stains, grass and blood.

Well, now,
After living in Europe for over 25 years now...yes, we do so pre-treat upon occasion.
And soak.
It is true that the US has to put up with very weak laundry detergents, but I really doubt that all those shelves of Gallseife and Oxi-diesesundjenes are there because Metro doesn't mind losing valuable sales territory for the fun of it.
Persil color gel, as mentioned above, is a very good pre-treatment, especially if you have to worry about unstable colors.

Have to agree with Jon and Rob above
I find things like Vanish and other in-wash boosters absolutely useless when a good detergent like Ariel bio powder is used.
The people I know who swear by it seem to supplement it with crappy detergent like surf, own brand non-bio liquids or colourcare products on whites, so it's really not suprising. I suppose it could be useful for the Quick wash and low temperature abusers too.
The only thing I do find useful sometimes are the pre-treatment sprays, but only on the most stubborn stains like the mud and grass on my brothers football kits. I recently rescued my favouite top that had vicks vaporub on it using one too.
The only thing I would disagree with is that my whites are as white as can be at 40c, although I certainly wouldn't go below that.
