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 Soft for light contamination and regular use, and Medium or Hard 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 softest grade that removes the contamination and only step up to Medium or Hard if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which grade should I choose?

Start with Soft for light contamination or regular maintenance, and use Medium or Hard 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?

Yes, The Drivers HQ offers UK-wide delivery on Angelwax Cleanse Clay Bars in all three grades.

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 Angelwax with car waxes at its centre. Dark Angel is a hand-poured wax made for black and dark paintwork, and for matte paint there are Luminosity Matte Wax and Luminosity QED, a matte quick detailing spray. Stripped-Ease removes old wax before a fresh coat, Vision cleans the glass, and the AnGel Plastic & Interior Dressing looks after the cabin.

Angelwax suits enthusiasts who enjoy a hands-on wax routine. Stripped-Ease takes old wax off the paint, a wax such as Dark Angel then adds gloss and protection, and owners of matte paint can use Luminosity Matte Wax and QED instead. Vision for the glass and AnGel for the interior plastics 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.
