Wash and prepare

Car & motorbike care
Plan the right clean, repair, or detailing job before choosing products.
Start with the surface, the task, and the finish you want before narrowing the product list.
Where to begin
Use the job in front of you to choose the right section.
Use this category as the starting point for car and motorbike care essentials, from cleaning kits and exterior wash products to paint protection, interior cleaners, wheel care, tyre dressings, glass treatments, engine-bay cleaners, and brake-care items.
The best place to start is the immediate task: a quick wash, a deeper detail, a specific surface problem, or a protective finish that helps the vehicle stay cleaner for longer.
Protect paint and finish
Use paint care for waxes, sealants, paint cleaners, wet waxes, hard waxes, protective foils, and products that help maintain gloss after washing.
Refresh interior surfaces
Choose interior care for cabin plastics, rubber trim, upholstery, leather, mats, dashboard areas, and the surfaces that get touched on every journey.
Clean wheels and tyres
Compare rim care and tyre care for brake dust, road film, tyre cleaners, tyre gloss, rim sealants, and detailing products for the lower half of the vehicle.
Improve glass and visibility
Go to window care for glass cleaners, window polishes, and water-repellent coatings that help windscreens, mirrors, and side glass stay clearer.
Handle mechanical-area care
Use engine care, brake care, or fillers, adhesives and sealants when the job is more specific than cosmetic detailing.
Choose products by surface, purpose, and finish.
Match the surface
Paint, glass, rubber, plastic, leather, fabric, alloy wheels, tyres, brakes, and engine-bay parts need different formulas. A product that is useful on one surface may be too strong or too weak for another.
Separate cleaner from protection
Cleaners remove dirt, traffic film, grease, brake dust, tar, insects, or stains. Waxes, sealants, coatings, and dressings add protection or a finished look after the surface is clean.
Check compatibility
Look for product notes on paint type, wheel finish, fabric, leather, plastic trim, rubber, glass, ceramic coating, matte finish, and motorbike-specific surfaces before applying.
Think about tools
Wash mitts, microfibre cloths, applicator pads, brushes, buckets, sprayers, and drying towels can change the result as much as the chemical product itself.
Work in the right order
Pre-wash, contact wash, decontamination, polishing, protection, glass, wheels, tyres, and interior work all have a natural sequence. Working in order helps avoid dragging dirt back onto finished areas.
Follow safety directions
Brake cleaners, degreasers, solvents, adhesives, sealants, and strong wheel cleaners can need gloves, ventilation, careful rinsing, or extra caution around painted and hot surfaces.
Pick the category that matches the job.
| Job | Start in | Check before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Regular wash or detailing setup | Cleaning Kits or Exterior Care | Included tools, dilution guidance, surface compatibility, and whether the product is for maintenance washes or deeper cleaning. |
| Paint gloss and protection | Paint Care | Wax, sealant, polish, cleaner, protective film, drying time, application method, and whether the finish is glossy, matte, or coated. |
| Cabin cleaning | Interior Care | Leather, fabric, plastic, rubber, dashboard, touch-screen, scent, residue, and whether a conditioner or protector is needed after cleaning. |
| Wheels, rims, and tyres | Rim Care and Tyre Care | Wheel finish, brake-dust strength, acid-free claims, tyre shine level, applicator type, and whether a sealant is included. |
| Glass, mirrors, and rain visibility | Window Care | Cleaner, polish, water repellent, anti-fog use, wiper compatibility, and suitability for interior or exterior glass. |
| Engine bay, brakes, or repair prep | Engine Care, Brake Care, or Fillers, Adhesives & Sealants | Degreasing strength, safe materials, drying time, ventilation, flammability notes, and manufacturer instructions for use around mechanical parts. |
Car or motorbike
Use the same logic, but check the details for the vehicle.
Car and motorbike care often overlaps, especially for paint, glass, tyres, plastic trim, rubber, and general cleaning. Motorbikes can also expose more metal, chain areas, hot components, textured plastics, and smaller painted panels, so the product label and retailer page matter before use.
For any cleaner, coating, dressing, adhesive, or sealant, check the surface, application temperature, curing time, and whether the product needs rinsing, buffing, drying, or follow-up protection.
Retailer stock, product formulas, compatibility notes, delivery, and returns can change. Treat the retailer page and product label as the final source before buying or applying any car or motorbike care product.
