Car-Chem

Car-Chem is a car care manufacturer with an on-site laboratory, a dedicated research chemist and a production facility in Nottingham. The company says it has researched, developed and produced car care since 2010, and that its products are trusted by professionals and enthusiasts in over 40 countries. In 2024 it was acquired by Leading Solvent Supplies, a UK chemical group, and alongside its own Car-Chem range it develops and produces private label products for other businesses.

The Drivers HQ stocks Car-Chem across the whole wash and protection routine, with several products in 500ml and 5L sizes. For washing there is Pre Soak+ Snow Foam, Citrus Clean, Total Clean Traffic Film Remover, 1900:1 Shampoo and Clean Wheels. Protection comes from Sapphire Ceramic Wax, Connoisseur Carnauba Wax and Hydro Quick Detailer, with Prep Panel Wipe to ready the paint. Inside there is Interior Clean Coat, Hide Leather Cream and Refresh Odour Eliminator, and for glass, Pre Icer and Screen Wash Water Resistant.

Car-Chem suits enthusiasts who want to build a complete kit from one maker, and detailers who get through a lot of product, since the 5L sizes are handy for refilling smaller bottles. A typical routine starts with snow foam and a citrus pre-wash to loosen dirt before a careful contact wash with shampoo, then the wheels. Panel wipe removes oils before a ceramic or carnauba wax goes on, and a quick detailer keeps the finish topped up between washes. Glass and interior products finish the car inside and out.
