Expert Notes

Angelwax Alchemy is a 150g metal polish for the bare metal on a vehicle, including exhaust tips, chrome trim, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass. Its blend of cleaning agents and fine abrasives removes oxidation, tarnish, corrosion and staining while refining the surface, bringing dull metal back to a bright, mirror-like finish. We treat it as a finishing job once the car is washed and dry, or as a standalone restoration task on older or neglected parts, including engine bay metalwork. Apply it with a soft cloth, buff off with a clean, dry microfibre and keep it away from paintwork. Pair it with dedicated metal polishing cloths and applicators that never touch your paint.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Exhaust tips
  • Chrome trim
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminium
  • Copper and brass
  • Engine bay metalwork
  • Bare metal surfaces

Caution: Alchemy contains fine abrasives, so keep it off paintwork and test it on a small hidden area first, especially on thin plating or coated metal.

How To Use

Application

  1. Make sure the metal is cool, clean and dry before you start.
  2. Apply a small amount of Alchemy directly to the metal using a suitable cloth.
  3. Work it over a small section at a time to lift tarnish and contamination.
  4. Buff the treated area with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to a polished finish.
  5. Repeat on heavily tarnished areas until the finish is even.

Aftercare

  1. Wipe any polish residue off surrounding paint, rubber and plastic trim.
  2. Wash metal polishing cloths separately from your paintwork towels.
  3. Replace the lid firmly after every use.
  4. Store the polish somewhere cool and dry, away from frost and direct sunlight.

Top Tip: Use a separate cloth for exhaust tips, as soot and carbon quickly load the fibres and can smear onto bright metal.

The Brand

Angelwax

Angelwax is a car detailing brand that describes its team as innovators, chemists and perfectionists, with over 25 years of experience in the chemical industry behind its formulas. According to the brand, all of its products are designed, formulated and manufactured at its headquarters in Paisley, Scotland. Its range covers the whole detailing process, from exterior wash and decontamination products to wheel cleaners, interior cleaners, polishes and compounds, hand-poured waxes and ceramic coatings for both professional and consumer use. Angelwax also produces a nautical care range for boats and has a network of certified installers for its professional coatings.

The Drivers HQ stocks a wide Angelwax range with car waxes at its centre. Hand-poured waxes such as Dark Angel and Formulation #1 sit alongside Bilberry Wheel Wax, while the wash stage is covered by FastFoam snow foam, Cleanliness concentrated pre-wash and Blue Rinse. For wheels there is the Bilberry wheel cleaner, and interiors are looked after by Absolution Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, Heaven for Leather and the AnGel Plastic & Interior Dressing. The range also includes quick detailers, Alchemy Metal Polish, Excelsior Soft Top Cleaner, Clarity screenwash, the Cleanse Clay Bar, Brush-Up detailing brushes, the Angelwax Detailing Bag and a Bilberry hanging air freshener.

Angelwax suits enthusiasts who enjoy a hands-on wash and wax routine, as well as detailers who want one brand across every stage. A typical routine starts with snow foam and a pre-wash to loosen grime before the contact wash, with a dedicated cleaner for the wheels. Blue Rinse can finish the wash stage by helping water sheet away before drying. Where the paint feels rough, a clay bar removes bonded contamination, and a wax then adds gloss and protection, with Dark Angel made specifically for black and dark paintwork. Interior cleaners, metal polish and glass care complete the job inside and out.

AngelWax Bilberry RTU – Superior Automotive Wheel Cleaner - The Drivers HQ

Designed and Made in Scotland

Angelwax describes itself as more than just another detailing brand. In its own words, the people behind it are innovators, chemists and perfectionists with over 25 years of experience in the chemical industry, who have spent years developing and refining their range of detailing products. The brand says every formula is crafted with precision and tested across the globe.

All Angelwax products are designed, formulated and manufactured at the brand's global headquarters in Scotland, which it lists at the Airlink Industrial Estate in Paisley. Several of its product descriptions refer to formulas developed in-house at its UK laboratory, including the Cleanliness pre-wash and Blue Rinse. Alongside its Scottish base, the brand also lists a European distribution centre and a distribution office and warehouse in the USA.

Formulation #1 has a long history with the brand. Angelwax says it was the very first detailing wax the brand developed, and that it has remained a favourite with enthusiasts and professional detailers since its original launch in 2009. Scent is part of the brand's character too, as its tagline Heaven Scent, Wicked Finish suggests: Dark Angel carries a chocolate fragrance, and the brand says its bilberry fragrance was made famous within its detailing range.

Waxes, Wheel Care and Wash Essentials

Waxes are at the heart of the Angelwax range. Formulation #1 is a carnauba detailing wax that the brand says is hand-poured in small batches from natural waxes and oils, delivers a deep wet-look gloss and needs only a thin application layer. Dark Angel was developed specifically for black and dark-coloured vehicles, blended with natural waxes and conditioning oils to enrich dark paint tones and help reduce the appearance of light swirls and wash marks.

The Bilberry name runs through the brand's wheel care. Bilberry wheel cleaner is a non-acidic formula for removing brake dust and road grime, and Angelwax describes it as safe for all wheel types, including painted, lacquered and powder-coated finishes. Bilberry Wheel Wax then adds a protective barrier against brake dust and road grime to help keep wheels cleaner for longer, and the same bilberry fragrance is available as a hanging air freshener.

For the wash, Angelwax says FastFoam produces a thick foam that clings to the car to loosen dirt and traffic film before contact washing, and that it is safe for waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings when used correctly. Inside the car, Absolution is made for seats, carpets, floor mats and fabric trim, Heaven for Leather is a pH-neutral cleaner for leather upholstery, and Excelsior cleans canvas, mohair, cloth and vinyl soft tops.
