Cleaning and polishing products keep a vehicle's paintwork, glass, wheels, tyres and interior clean and protected. The range includes car shampoos and wash and wax, traffic film remover, waterless wash products, waxes and quick detailers, ceramic sprays, glass cleaner, tyre shine, dashboard and interior cleaners, microfibre cloths, wash mitts and pads, clay mitts, polishing compounds and machine polishing heads.
Washing
- Shampoo: a pH-neutral car shampoo cleans without stripping an existing wax or sealant. Wash and wax products leave a light protective layer as they clean.
- Traffic film remover: a stronger pre-wash for heavy road grime; dilute it exactly as the label says.
- Waterless wash: for light dust and marks where a hose is not practical.
- Mitts and cloths: wash mitts, pads and lint-free microfibre cloths for washing, drying and buffing.
Polishing and protection
Clay mitts, polishing compounds and foam or wool polishing heads are used to prepare and correct paintwork before it is protected. Finish with a wax, sealant or ceramic spray for protection and gloss, and treat glass, plastics, dashboards and tyres with products made for each surface.
Using products safely
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety data for every product. Do not let wash water, detergents or traffic film remover run into surface water drains, as this pollutes rivers and streams. Where possible, wash where the run-off goes to the foul sewer.
