Full Description

Angelwax CLEANSE is the perfect solution for the removal of fallout and paint contamination from the surface of your vehicle.

Your vehicle's paint is exposed to many different types of pollution on a daily basis and harmful contaminants in the atmosphere can cause paint damage and in some cases corrosion if left untreated. Angelwax CLEANSE gently removes these harmful particles safely, without the need for abrasive compounds and provides the perfect surface for the next stage of the detailing process.

Expert Notes

Angelwax Cleanse is a 100g detailing clay bar for removing bonded contamination that washing leaves behind, such as fallout, tar, tree sap, overspray, brake dust and industrial pollution. It is used on a washed and dried vehicle, glided over a lubricated panel until the surface feels smooth, then buffed with a clean microfibre cloth. Angelwax lists it for paintwork, glass, wheels and other exterior hard surfaces, and says it helps waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings bond more effectively. Choose Ultra-Fine for light contamination and regular use, and Medium or Aggressive for heavier build-up. Pair it with a dedicated clay lubricant, clean microfibre cloths and a polish, wax or coating to follow.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Glass
  • Wheels
  • Exterior hard surfaces
  • Paint with bonded fallout
  • Preparation before polishing
  • Preparation before coating

Caution: Always use plenty of clay lubricant, and throw away any piece that is dropped, as trapped grit will scratch the paint.

How To Use

Using it

  1. Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly so no loose dirt remains on the surface.
  2. Tear off a section of clay and flatten it into a palm-sized patty.
  3. Work on one panel at a time and lightly mist it with a clay lubricant such as Angelwax Uber-Lube.
  4. Glide the clay across the lubricated area with light pressure until the surface feels smooth.
  5. Fold the clay to a clean face whenever it looks dirty.
  6. Buff the panel with a clean, dry microfibre cloth before moving on.

Cleaning and storage

  1. Store the clay in a sealed container so it does not dry out.
  2. Mist the clay with lubricant before storing to keep it supple.
  3. Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.
  4. Throw away any clay that has been dropped on the ground.
  5. Replace the clay once it can no longer be folded to a clean face.

Top Tip: Start with the finest grade (Ultra-Fine) that removes the contamination and only step up to Medium or Aggressive if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which grade should I choose?

Start with Ultra-Fine for light contamination or regular maintenance, and use Medium or Aggressive for heavier bonded contamination. Firmer grades are more likely to leave light marring that needs polishing afterwards.

How much clay is in the bar?

Each Angelwax Cleanse bar weighs 100g. Tearing it into smaller pieces gives you spare sections if one gets dropped.

What does the clay remove?

Angelwax Cleanse removes bonded contamination such as fallout, tar, tree sap, overspray, brake dust and industrial pollution that washing alone leaves behind.

Do I need a lubricant?

Yes, always clay on a lubricated surface. The directions call for lightly misting each panel with Angelwax Uber-Lube clay bar lubricant.

Can I use it on glass and wheels?

Yes, Angelwax lists paintwork, glass, wheels and other exterior hard surfaces. Keep a separate piece of clay for wheels so brake dust never returns to the paint.

What should I do after claying?

Claying leaves the surface ready for polishing, waxing or ceramic coating. Always finish with protection, as claying can remove existing wax.

What if I drop the clay?

Throw away any piece of clay that has been dropped. Grit embedded in it will scratch the paint.

Do you deliver the Cleanse Clay Bar?

The Brand

Angelwax

Angelwax is a Scottish car care brand based in Paisley, where it designs, formulates and manufactures all of its products at its own headquarters. The team behind it describes itself as innovators, chemists and perfectionists with more than 25 years in the chemical industry. Its first wax, Formulation #1, launched in 2009, and the range now runs from hand-poured waxes, wash and decontamination products to compounds, interior care and ceramic coatings, which Angelwax only lets accredited installers apply professionally. Its strapline is Heaven Scent, Wicked Finish, and scent runs through the range, from the chocolate fragrance of Dark Angel to Bilberry.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Angelwax online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop. Popular choices include Dark Angel, Formulation #1 and Bilberry Wheel Cleaner.

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.
