FAQ
What types of surfaces are these products suitable for?
The detailing sprays and wheel cleaners are generally suitable for most painted car surfaces, including alloy wheels. However, always test a small area first, especially with darker or more delicate finishes, to ensure compatibility.
How often should I use the interior protectant?
We recommend using the interior protectant every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if your vehicle is exposed to harsh conditions like sunlight or dirt. Regular application helps maintain a clean and shiny surface.
Are these products safe for rubber trim?
Most of our products are formulated to be safe for rubber trim, but prolonged exposure can cause discoloration. Test on a small area first and rinse thoroughly after use.
Do I need special equipment to use these products?
No, you don’t require any specialised equipment. A standard spray bottle, microfiber cloths, and a soft brush for wheels are generally sufficient for most applications.
How do I clean alloy wheels effectively?
Apply the wheel cleaner directly onto the wheel surface, ensuring it coats all areas. Let it dwell for the recommended time (usually 2-3 minutes), then thoroughly rinse with water and dry with a microfiber cloth.
What is the pH level of these products?
The pH levels are generally formulated to be mildly acidic, which helps in breaking down road grime. However, always refer to the product's packaging for specific pH information.
Can I use these products on a new car’s paintwork?
Yes, you can absolutely use these products on a new car, but it’s advisable to do a test spot first to ensure compatibility. New paints are often more sensitive to cleaning agents.
What is the shelf life of the detailing sprays?
The detailing sprays have a shelf life of approximately 12-18 months if stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always check for changes in colour or consistency before use.
Are these products biodegradable?
While we strive to formulate environmentally conscious products, the biodegradability varies between individual formulations. Please refer to the specific product’s packaging for detailed information regarding its environmental impact.
What if a product doesn't perform as expected?
Please review the product instructions carefully and ensure you are applying it correctly according to the manufacturer's guidelines. If issues persist, please consult Amazon UK’s standard returns policy for options.
