How To Use Rinse Protection

If you've ever wanted to add protection to your paintwork in minutes rather than hours, rinse protection products are about as close to magic as detailing gets. Applied to a wet vehicle and activated with nothing more than a pressure washer, rinse protection leaves behind a durable hydrophobic layer that boosts gloss, improves water behaviour and makes future maintenance washes easier than ever.

Step 1: Wash The Vehicle Thoroughly

Before applying any rinse protection, make sure the vehicle has been properly cleaned. Wash using your usual pre-wash and contact wash routine, ensuring all dirt, traffic film and contamination has been safely removed. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly, but don't dry it. Rinse protection products are designed to be applied to wet surfaces.

Step 2: Apply Sparingly

Working panel by panel, lightly mist the product directly onto the wet paintwork. Less is definitely more here. Over application can lead to smearing or uneven results, so a light, even mist is all that's required. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or onto hot panels wherever possible.

Step 3: Rinse Immediately

Once applied, immediately pressure rinse the panel thoroughly. You'll instantly see the protection activate as water rapidly sheets away from the surface. Continue around the vehicle until every panel has been treated. Finally, dry the vehicle using a quality drying towel.

Pro Tips & Tricks

Protect Your Wheels - Rinse protection works brilliantly on painted, lacquered and gloss wheel finishes. Apply after cleaning your wheels to boost gloss and help repel brake dust, making future cleans quicker and easier.

Don't Forget The Door Shuts - Door shuts are often overlooked but are constantly exposed to dirt and moisture. A quick application here helps keep them cleaner for longer and makes maintenance wipes effortless.

Freshen Up Under The Bonnet - Modern painted engine bay panels and inner wings can also benefit from rinse protection. Apply sparingly to painted surfaces only to add gloss and help repel dust and grime.

A Little Goes A Long Way - One of the biggest mistakes people make is using too much product. A light mist is all you need to achieve outstanding results.

The Result?

Glossier paintwork, insane water behaviour and a vehicle that's easier to wash next time around — all in just a few minutes.
