With the right products, simple techniques, and a bit of know-how, you can keep your vehicle looking spotless, protected, and fresh all year round without the cost of regular professional valeting.
In this guide, we’re highlighting some of our key products and showing you exactly how they can transform your car care routine.
Waterless Wash
🚗 Clean Smarter with Waterless Wash
For busy drivers or those without easy access to a hose, Waterless Wash is a game changer.
This easy-to-use cleaner removes dirt and grime while leaving behind a protective layer that helps repel future build-up. It’s suitable for cars, vans, lorries, boats, and even caravans — making it one of the most versatile cleaning solutions available.
Why it works:
- Quick, no-rinse cleaning
- Leaves a glossy protective finish
- Helps prevent dirt from sticking
- 100% biodegradable and environmentally friendly
💡Top tip: Spray onto the surface and a microfibre cloth, leave for around 30 seconds, wipe away, and finish with a light buff for a streak-free shine.
Clean & Bright (CB25)
🚗Bring Your Alloy Wheels Back to Life with CB25
Brake dust and road grime can quickly dull even the smartest alloys. Clean & Bright CB25 is designed to cut through stubborn dirt while being safe on painted and alloy surfaces.
Originally developed for bicycles, it’s now a favourite for car and motorbike owners alike.
Why it works:
- Removes brake dust and road grime with ease
- Solvent-free formula
- Safe for modern alloy finishes
- Leaves wheels looking clean and refreshed
💡Top tip: Let the product dwell briefly before agitating with a brush for best results.
Glass Cleaner
Crystal Clear Vision with Glass Cleaner
Nothing finishes a valet like perfectly clean, streak-free glass. Our heavy-duty Glass Cleaner is designed to tackle the toughest build-up, including grease, bird lime, and road grime.
Why it works:
- Powerful alcohol and ammonia-based formula
- Fast evaporation for a smear-free finish
- Suitable for cars, boats, and yachts
- Also effective on stainless steel surfaces
Important: Avoid using on perspex. For those surfaces, Waterless Wash is a safer alternative.
💡Top tip: Use a clean, non-scratch microfibre cloth and work in sections for best clarity.
Odour Eliminator
Cars often trap unwanted smells from pets, food, smoke, and everyday use. Unlike air fresheners that simply mask odours, Wessex Odour Eliminator 750ml works at the source.
It uses friendly bacteria to break down the cause of unpleasant smells, leaving interiors genuinely fresh.
Why it works:
- Eliminates odours rather than masking them
- Works on fabrics and hard surfaces
- Suitable for cars, homes, caravans, and boats
- No residue or staining
From cigarette smoke to pet accidents, it’s a powerful solution for long-lasting freshness.
💡 Top Tip: For the best results, spray Odour Eliminator directly onto the source of the smell — not just into the air. Focus on carpets, seats, mats, boots and fabric areas where odours tend to linger. Allow it to dry naturally so the bacteria can fully break down the cause of the smell and leave your car genuinely fresh.
Plastic Cleaner
Exterior and interior plastics can quickly become dull and tired-looking. Our Plastic Cleaner is designed to restore and protect trim surfaces, bringing back a clean, glossy finish.
Why it works:
- Removes dirt, grime, mould, and staining
- Safe, non-scratch formula
- Leaves a protective layer that helps repel water
- Suitable for cars, boats, and caravans
💡Top tip: Apply with a microfibre cloth and avoid use on areas where grip is essential, such as pedals or flooring.
