Product Information

Ceramic wax is the next big thing in car wax. Proper ceramic waxing is best left to the experts thanks to the long curing time required, but it will leave a hard coating that can last for years. There are also hybrid ceramic options that blend synthetic wax with silicon dioxide ceramic to give you similar results that you can do yourself. Available as a paste, spray or liquid it won’t last as long as proper ceramic coating but it's far easier to apply. data-src="https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/washford/haluk-car-cleaning-spot1-step3-process-winter21-1382x867" Most waxes should be applied after you’ve washed the car and dried it with a chamois leather or microfiber cloth. Most detailers will recommend using a clay bar first if you're wanting to apply wax to your car. This will keep your paintwork free of any contaminants so you get a better overall finish. If you want to know more about this process, we've written a guide to clay barring. Rapid Aqua Wax is the best kept secret in car care. Our carnauba based wax can be applied directly to a wet vehicle straight after washing, giving you a stunning hard wax finish in just a fraction of the time.

I have access to a powerhose and I have a bottle of car wash shampoo, cant think of the name now, mythol or something, the blue/green coloured stuff, got it in Halfords, was recommended on here. Keeping your car’s paintwork in prime condition requires a combination of regular washing and waxing – although the latter is often put off due to time constraints. Spray wax is more of a top-up product and won't last anywhere near as long as the others but it's still useful if you're in a rush. Got some Polar Seal yesterday from a local Halfords and used it this morning. I used the recommended 4 capfuls and 200ml of water in the lance and it just ran out before I finished covering the car so next time I’ll add 225ml of water. I didn’t expect there to be a scent but as I was spraying it over the bodywork, the smell was very pleasant. Immediately upon the PS hitting the panels you could see the coating was very hydrophobic, when rinsing off the beading of water was some of the best I have seen, leaving a very glossy finish too. On the bottle it says do not apply more than once a month, if that water behaviour and protection continues for anywhere near a month then I think Autoglym have nailed it. Also used the Instadry for the first time, that is a fantastic product also. I didn’t expect it to be as small as it was but it dried a large saloon with only a few wrings out in between. It seemed to glide across the paintwork and soak up water really well.
