FAQs
Is this shampoo suitable for home use?
No, this product is specifically labelled and intended for professional use only due to its concentrated formula and professional-grade performance.
How much shampoo should I use?
The recommended dilution is 1 part car shampoo to 150 parts water. For a standard 10-litre bucket, this means approximately 67ml of shampoo.
Can I use this on a matte finish car?
While it is suitable for most car paints, matte finishes can be sensitive. It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and avoid altering the finish.
Does the wax provide long-term protection?
The integrated wax provides a glossy finish and some water repellency. For long-term paint protection, a dedicated car wax or sealant would be recommended after washing and drying.
What surfaces can I use this shampoo on?
It is safe for use on paintwork, bodywork, plastic, Perspex, and aluminium.
How should I store the 5L bottle?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap sealed, the product typically has a shelf life of around 24 months.
Troubleshooting
Product leaves streaks or spots
Ensure the correct dilution ratio (1:150) is used. Avoid washing in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a clean microfiber towel.
Shampoo appears cloudy or separated
This can sometimes occur with bulk products. Stir the contents thoroughly before diluting. If separation persists or the product has an unusual odor, contact the supplier.
Difficulty removing heavy dirt or grime
For heavily soiled vehicles, pre-rinse with water to remove loose debris. Use a slightly stronger concentration (e.g., 1:120) for stubborn areas, but test on a small area first and rinse immediately. A wash mitt or soft brush may be needed for agitation.
