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

Product Information

Instead, pay attention convenience seekers because Greased Lightning aims its products squarely at you. Its flagship product, Showroom Shine, is a waterless car wash that is meant to be fast and effective, compared to the traditional method involving car shampoo, a sponge, and your full car cleaning Spotify playlist. Allegedly, with Showroom Shine, you'll be able to wash your car in less time than one of Phil Collins' drum solos. 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'. 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 As regards the microfibre cloths, they do vary quite a lot and some seem to catch on the skin more than others. I bought some really good quality ones at Costco and they've been great but the drag you feel when cleaning surfaces is normal. One tip is not to wash them when using fabric conditioner as this apparently has an adverse effect on the fibres. Overall, we liked the Greased Lightning products because they do exactly what they’re meant to. They don’t overpromise or underdeliver. On their own or used together, they are effective and easy to use.

If you gently rub your hand over the lower parts of the side panels, you can feel the grit adhering to the paintwork and there is no way I'd use a waterless cleaner without first washing away this material. 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. 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. 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.

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. Showroom Shine waterless car wash and wax delivers unrivalled, premium results with minimum effort.

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. Showroom Shine waterless car wash & wax has been designed to help you achieve the ultimate 'high shine' finish with minimum effort. Our NEW refill now comes in a bigger, stronger 5 litre bottle, and is even better value than before with every litre costing you less.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 Each bottle cleans approximately 8-10 family cars to a high shine, getting rid of dust, dirt and tar spots, leaving a layer of protection with no streaks or smearing. Different formulas have different ingredients. However, they all are relatively versatile and very well able to work with different surfaces, including but not limited to painted steel, fiberglass, metal, regular glass, clear plastic, etc. 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.

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. Car wax tends to be made from either natural sources (like carnauba plant) or synthetic silicones. Typically, pastes are natural and liquid are synthetic, using man-made polymers or resins rather than oils.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. 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. 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.
