Autoglym

Autoglym is a British car care brand that says it has been bringing clarity to vehicle care since 1965. The company says what began as a small specialist operation has grown into a brand used in over 45 countries, with products used by enthusiasts, professionals and vehicle manufacturers. Autoglym describes its snow foams, polish and wax as designed and manufactured in the UK, and it works across Retail products for drivers, Autoglym Professional for vehicle care, transport and fleet operators, and paint protection.

The Drivers HQ stocks two Autoglym products from its Polar range, both built around snow foam washing. Autoglym Polar Blast 2.5L is a snow foam pre-wash, applied through a pressure washer to cover the car in thick foam that loosens dirt before anything touches the paint. Alongside it is the Autoglym Snow Foam Lance for Karcher K Series pressure washers, the foam gun Autoglym sells as the Polar Blaster, which fixes to the pressure washer lance and draws diluted product from its own reservoir bottle.

Polar Blast suits anyone who washes with a pressure washer and wants to cut the chance of swirl marks from a wash mitt dragging grit across the paint. Autoglym says loosening heavy soiling before shampooing reduces the risk of scratches and swirl marks, and because Polar Blast is pH neutral it will not remove wax. In a typical routine you foam the car from the bottom up, let the foam dwell without drying, rinse thoroughly from the bottom up, then shampoo, dry and add your chosen protection.

Buy Autoglym from The Drivers HQ with tracked UK-wide delivery, or visit our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where Click & Collect is free. Autoglym designed the Polar Blaster to work with its Polar range, so Polar Blast and the Karcher K Series foam lance make a sensible pair if you are setting up snow foam washing for the first time. You can add wash, drying and protection products from the rest of our car care range to the same order.
