Full details

This Holts 5-litre Shampoo & Wax is designed for car owners who need an effective and economical cleaning solution. It offers a high-foaming wash that removes dirt and grime while simultaneously applying a protective wax layer, leaving a glossy, just-washed finish.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How many washes can I expect from the 5-litre pack?

You can expect up to 300 washes, depending on the dilution ratio used and the wash method. More concentrated washes will yield fewer total washes.

Can this product be used with a pressure washer?

Yes, it is suitable for use with pressure washer foam lances. Follow your pressure washer manufacturer's guidelines for car shampoo dilution.

Will this product strip existing wax protection?

This product is designed to clean and add a layer of wax protection. It is generally not aggressive enough to strip existing wax layers, but heavy or frequent use might reduce the longevity of existing protection.

Is this suitable for all car paint types?

Yes, it is developed to be safe and effective on all automotive paint colours and finishes.

How should I dilute the shampoo for a bucket wash?

A common and effective dilution is 100ml of shampoo per 10 litres of water. Adjust based on dirt levels and desired foam.

Does the 'streak-free' claim mean I don't need to dry the car?

While the product is designed to rinse clean and minimize water spots, it is still recommended to dry your vehicle with a clean microfiber drying towel to achieve the best, spot-free finish and to maximize shine.

How long does the wax protection last?

The wax protection provides a temporary barrier that helps repel dirt and maintain shine between washes. For longer-lasting and more robust protection, a dedicated car wax or sealant would be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Product not foaming well

Ensure the product is within its expiry date. Check that you are using the correct dilution ratio; too much water can reduce foam. If using a pressure washer, ensure the foam lance is functioning correctly.

Streaks or water spots after washing

Rinse the vehicle immediately and thoroughly after washing. Avoid washing in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces, as the product may dry too quickly. Ensure a clean wash mitt and rinse bucket are used.

Waxy residue left on surfaces

You may have used too concentrated a solution. Reduce the dilution ratio for subsequent washes. Ensure thorough rinsing to remove all product residue.

Dirt not being removed effectively

Pre-rinse heavily soiled areas. Increase the concentration of the shampoo slightly or use a dedicated pre-wash if necessary for very stubborn dirt. Use a clean wash mitt and agitate dirt gently.
