Expert Notes

Angelwax Cleanliness is a concentrated citrus pre-wash for breaking down heavy contamination before the contact wash. Angelwax formulated it to remove bugs, road grime, bird droppings and traffic film, and the water-based, solvent-free formula is safe for waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings, so it suits protected cars as well as neglected ones. Dilute 1:1 for heavy contamination or up to 5:1 for maintenance washes, apply by foam lance or pump sprayer, leave it to dwell for several minutes without drying, then rinse. Removing grit before a mitt touches the paint helps reduce swirl marks. Follow it with a shampoo wash using the two-bucket method, and flush the lance afterwards. Available in 1L and 5L.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Front ends with bug residue
  • Lower panels and sills
  • Waxed or sealed paint
  • Ceramic coated vehicles
  • Glass and exterior trim
  • Cars and vans

Caution: Do not apply to hot panels or in direct sun, and never let the pre-wash dry on the surface before rinsing.

  3. Apply through a foam lance or pump sprayer, covering all surfaces evenly.
  4. Allow it to dwell for several minutes, making sure it does not dry.
  5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, working from the top down.
  6. Move on to your contact wash with a suitable shampoo and wash mitt.

Aftercare

Angelwax waxes, polishes and protection

Waxes. Formulation #1 is a hand-poured carnauba wax of natural waxes and oils that needs only a thin coat, rated by Angelwax at up to six months. Dark Angel is made for black and dark paint: it enriches dark tones, helps hide light swirls and wash marks, and carries a chocolate scent. The Fifth Element is a high endurance show wax of four natural waxes and passion fruit oil, and Luminosity Matte Wax protects matte, satin and wrapped finishes without adding gloss, kept clean between washes with Luminosity QED.

Polishing. Resurrection is the heavy cut compound, rated to remove sanding marks up to 1,500 grade, Regenerate is the medium cut swirl remover, and Redemption is the ultra fine finishing polish that takes out holograms and P3000 sanding marks. By hand, Perfect Polish is a pre-wax cleanser with ultra fine abrasives, and Stripped-Ease removes old wax, sealant and polishing oils before fresh protection.

Glass and quick protection. H2GO is a glass rain repellent that Angelwax says makes rain bead off from as low as 20mph, applied after cleaning with Vision, a fast flashing glass cleaner that is safe on tinted windows. QED is the quick detailer for gloss between washes, and Alchemy is a metal polish for exhaust tips, chrome, aluminium and stainless steel.

Angelwax wash, wheels and interior care

Wash and decontamination. Cleanliness is a water based, solvent free citrus pre-wash made in Angelwax's UK laboratory, safe on waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings. FastFoam is a thick snow foam for the lance, and Superior Automotive Shampoo is a concentrated, pH neutral shampoo that leaves protection in place. Blue Rinse is a wax infused rinse aid for the clean, wet car, diluted up to 5:1, that makes water sheet off for faster drying. Revenge softens insect remains, Nemesis dissolves tar, glue and sap, and the Cleanse clay bar lifts bonded fallout, used with Uber-Lube.

Wheels. Bilberry is a non-acidic wheel cleaner, ready to use or as a concentrate, safe on painted, lacquered and powder coated wheels. Bilberry Wheel Wax then adds a barrier that slows brake dust build-up, and the same fruity scent comes as the Bilberry air freshener.

Interior and soft tops. AnGel is a water based, silicone free dressing with UV protection that leaves interior plastics matte and non greasy. Absolution cleans seats, carpets and mats, and Heaven for Leather is a pH neutral leather cleaner that keeps the factory matte finish. For convertibles, Excelsior cleans canvas, mohair, cloth and vinyl roofs, and Shield leaves an invisible barrier that repels water and stains on roofs and fabrics. Clarity is a super concentrated screenwash that can be used neat as a de-icer.

Kit. The Brush-Up set of five bristle brushes reaches badges, vents and wheel nuts, and the padded Detailing Bag has a rigid base for carrying waxes and bottles.
