Expert Notes

Angelwax Stripped-Ease is a wax removal system and panel wipe for paint that needs a clean start. It removes old waxes, sealants, polishing oils and silicone residue so a new wax, sealant or ceramic coating can bond directly to the paint, and Angelwax lists it as safe for painted surfaces with a clean, residue-free finish. Use it after machine polishing to clear polishing oils, before any coating, or whenever you want to switch between protection products. Spray onto the panel or a microfibre cloth, wipe, then buff dry with a second cloth. Pair it with plenty of clean microfibre cloths and your chosen protection. The 500ml suits enthusiasts, while the 5L suits detailers doing regular coating work.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted body panels
  • Paint after machine polishing
  • Paint before ceramic coating
  • Paint before wax or sealant
  • Waxed or sealed paint being stripped
  • Car and van paintwork

Caution: Stripped-Ease removes existing wax and sealant, so only use it when you plan to reapply protection straight afterwards, and work on cool panels out of direct sunlight.

How To Use

Application

  1. Wash and dry the vehicle so the surface is cool, clean and dry.
  2. Work one panel at a time out of direct sunlight.
  3. Spray Stripped-Ease directly onto the panel or onto a clean microfibre cloth.
  4. Wipe evenly across the surface to lift residue and old protection.
  5. Buff with a second clean microfibre cloth until the surface is completely clean and dry.
  6. Repeat on heavily protected or contaminated panels if needed.

Aftercare

  1. Apply your new wax, sealant or ceramic coating soon after the panel wipe.
  2. Swap to fresh cloths often so removed residue is not wiped back on.
  3. Wash used microfibre cloths separately, without fabric softener.
  4. Close the bottle and store it upright, away from heat.
  5. Keep the bottle out of reach of children.

Top Tip: Use two cloths, one to wipe and one to buff dry, and change them often on a full vehicle.

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.

AngelWax Dark Angel - 250ml - The Drivers HQ

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.
