A safer wash starts with the right soap.
Most swirl marks come from washing, not driving. Our range of car shampoos and snow foams is chosen to lift and encapsulate dirt so it glides off the paint instead of being dragged across it. Whether you wash weekly or once a month, the right soap makes every wash safer.
Shop trusted brands like Vintex, Fireball and Sonax, plus pH-neutral shampoos that are gentle on wax, sealants and ceramic coatings.
Snow foam or shampoo? Use both.
Step 1. Pre-wash - Snow Foam
Clings to the car and softens heavy dirt, so it rinses away before you touch the paint
Step 2. Contact wash - Car Shampoo
High-lubricity suds let your wash mitt glide, lifting the remaining grime safely
What to look for in a car shampoo
-
pH neutral: gentle on wax, sealants and ceramic coatings
-
Lubrication: slick suds reduce wash-induced swirl marks
-
Concentration: a little goes a long way, so check the dilution ratio
-
Clean rinse: rinses off easily for a streak-free finish
-
Method: pick a formula made for your setup, whether that’s a foam cannon, pressure washer, pump foamer or two-bucket hand wash
Not sure what you need? Most people start with a pH-neutral shampoo. Add a snow foam and foam cannon when you want to take your wash to the next level.
