Greased Lightning Showroom Shine 1Ltr Waterless Car Wash, Wax & Polish

Product Information

It’s difficult to underestimate the importance of water when it comes to car cleaning. But what if there’s a hosepipe ban, or you simply don’t have access to a tap and running water? It’s here where the best waterless car wash makes so much sense. Honestly, I doubt anyone was a sceptical as me about this stuff but it does work and once it's been applied to the paintwork, it leaves a protective coating which seems to keep the car cleaner for longer and help to make removing subsequent grime easier. There's one other thing, we live in a hard water area and used to have a real problem with the lime residue left on the glass and paintwork by any water droplets allowed to evaporate when washing the car. Thankfully that's also a thing of the past now. I'd be quite prepared to use such a product, post washing but no way would I use it on my car when it has accumulated a typical week's dirt. Showroom Shine waterless car wash and wax delivers unrivalled, premium results with minimum effort. Washing over the grit with a wet sponge, chamois or mit wil move the grit across the paintwork anyway. Think of all the grit in your sponge. The difference is the waterless products emulsifies the dirt thus protecting the paintwork as you wipe away. Normal soap/shampoo doesn't do this. It may break up the dirt, but you are still scuffing it along the paintwork. Hence the swirling.

This depends on how many microfibre towels you use in the washing process. While it’s true you’ll use way less water than a traditional car wash, you’ll go through a load of towels as you wipe away residue. These towels will need washing, and you’ll more than likely use a washing machine for this task. So, no matter what, you’ll be using some water to clean your car. How well does it work? The only caveat we have with that recommendation is that if you've got wheels with an intricate spoke design, you'll probably want to pair the World Class Wheels with a detailing brush that can reach into the tighter areas. Bodywork and glass Brazilian-native carnauba wax comes from the leaves of the palm Copernicia prunifera and is incredibly popular among car owners. It is almost completely insoluble in rain and extremely heat-resistant, so perfectly durable for British weather. How to wax a car Our tried and tested unique formula uses carnauba wax for protection to keep your car looking great for longer and gives impressive results time and time again. Showroom shine is Greased Lightning’s big right hook; it's cake candles. We were excited to try this, curious to see if it cleaned as well as the No-H2O waterless wash we’d previously tested, while mercifully being more economical.

As regards microfibre cloths: I have bought many of these and of varioius qualities and have found them pretty useless. They seem to drag on glass if the surface becomes very dry and this results in many fine fibres being pulled off the cloth onto the glass and this can only be removed with a damp leather. When it comes to showcasing the true beauty of your vehicle, there's nothing quite like a showroom shine. The gleaming, flawless finish captures attention and speaks volumes about your attention to detail and commitment to car care. Achieving that perfect showroom shine may seem like a challenging task, but with the right steps and quality products like those available on ezcarcare.co.uk, it's entirely attainable. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the essential steps that professional detailers follow to achieve that breathtaking showroom shine. The foundation of any successful car detailing process is a thorough wash. Start by rinsing the vehicle to remove loose dirt and grime. Then, using a premium quality car wash soap, gently wash the entire vehicle, working from the top down. A microfiber wash mitt is ideal for preventing swirl marks and scratches. Pay special attention to the wheels, tires, and lower portions of the car where dirt tends to accumulate.

Using high-quality products is vital for achieving a showroom shine. ezcarcare.co.uk offers a range of professional-grade detailing products, from paint sealants to ceramic coatings. These products provide a durable and long-lasting protective layer that enhances the shine and makes future cleaning easier. Before using the Showroom Shine, we applied the Bug Buster to some areas of the bodywork to get rid of the stubborn spots and much that had been glued to the Honda for some time. Recommended advice from Greased Lightning was that for the tougher debris, let the Bug Buster sit for a short while before wiping off. We tried it on the Honda's light gathering of bugs and sap. It worked very nicely. Consequently, you will not find Greased Lightning products in stores such as Halfords, but rather your local nursery or garden centre (or online). Such is this insistence by the manufacturer that Greased Lightning products are a lifestyle choice, you expect them to carry a slogan along the lines of 'Greased Lightning: It's a way of life'. Car wax and car polish are two very different things. While car polish is used to remove defects from a car’s ‘coat’, car wax protects that coat. Car wax is essentially a protective layer which keeps a car looking shiny and new, regardless of age. After washing, it's essential to remove any embedded contaminants that regular washing can't eliminate. This includes tar, tree sap, and iron particles. Use a clay bar or a detailing clay to gently glide over the surface, ensuring a smooth and clean finish. You'll be amazed at the difference this step can make in preparing the paint for polishing and waxing.A good car wax can reduce the need or frequency of car polishing altogether. What kind of car wax is best? To achieve a true showroom shine, attention to detail is paramount. Clean and dress the tires, treat plastic trims, and polish chrome surfaces. Interior detailing is equally important, ensuring that the cabin matches the exterior's brilliance. Use specialized interior detailing products from ezcarcare.co.uk to clean and protect surfaces like leather, vinyl, and plastic. The concept we like, but the question remains: do the products work? We've been finding out. The Greased Lightning products we tested: While we do really like the one-litre bottles, which are larger than what you’ll find elsewhere, the triggers could be more ergonomic.
