Wash & Maintenance
Safe, effective washing products and tools designed to remove road grime, preserve your finish and make every wash simpler from rinse to dry.
WASH GUIDE
A good wash routine is the foundation of every detail. The right pre-wash, shampoo, mitt and drying towel help remove dirt safely, reduce swirl marks and leave the vehicle ready for protection, dressing or maintenance.
THE WASH PROCESS
Work from the dirtiest areas and the safest stages first. Pre-wash, clean the wheels, contact wash with a quality shampoo, rinse thoroughly and dry with the right towel to protect the finish.
PRE WASH
Soften and lift loose dirt, road film and traffic grime before touching the paint.
Pro tip: Let the pre-wash dwell, but do not allow it to dry on the surface.
CONTACT WASH
Using a quality shampoo and wash mitt, safely lift away remaining road grime while protecting the finish from unnecessary marring.
Pro tip: Rinse the mitt regularly and work from the top down to reduce the risk of dragging contamination across the paintwork.
Rinse & Protect
Flush shampoo, loosened grime and residues away from trims, badges, shuts and panel gaps. For added gloss and protection, apply products such as Aqua Coat or Lavish before the final rinse.
Pro tip: Apply Aqua Coat or Lavish to wet panels before the final rinse to boost gloss, improve water behaviour and make drying easier.
DRY
Use a plush drying towel to remove standing water safely without introducing marring or water spots.
Pro tip: Fold your drying towel into quarters and rotate regularly to keep a dry surface in contact with the paint.

FAQs
Start with a pre-wash or snow foam to loosen grime before contact washing. This helps reduce the amount of dirt moved around the paint by your mitt.
Yes. Wheels collect brake dust and heavier contamination, so it is best to use dedicated wheel products and tools before washing the bodywork.
For a daily driver, a safe maintenance wash every one to two weeks is a good rhythm. Cars used less often may only need washing when visibly dirty or before protection is applied.
Use a clean, plush drying towel after a thorough rinse. Avoid pressure, and do not use the towel on dirty areas or dropped towels.
