Expert Notes

Angelwax Superior Automotive Shampoo is a thick, slow pouring, highly concentrated shampoo with a neutral pH of 7, made for routine maintenance washing. Two or three small capfuls in a bucket give a rich, slick lather that helps lift dirt away and reduce the risk of wash-induced marring. Because it preserves existing waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings, it suits protected cars and sensitive paint finishes, and Angelwax describes it as gentle on plastics, rubber, glass and trim. It can also be applied through a pressure washer foam lance. Use it after a pre-wash, with the two-bucket method, a quality wash mitt and a clean microfibre drying towel. The 500ml suits occasional home washing, while the 5L suits regular washers and detailers.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Plastics
  • Rubber
  • Exterior glass
  • Exterior trim
  • Waxed vehicles
  • Ceramic coated vehicles
  • Sensitive paint finishes

Caution: Do not wash in direct sunlight or on hot panels, and never let the shampoo solution dry on the surface before rinsing.

How To Use

Application

  1. Rinse and pre-wash the vehicle thoroughly to remove loose dirt and grit.
  2. Add two or three small capfuls of the shampoo to a wash bucket, then fill it with clean water.
  3. Fill a second bucket with clean water for rinsing your wash mitt, as Angelwax recommends the two-bucket method.
  4. Wash one panel at a time from the roof down with a clean, high quality wash mitt.
  5. Rinse the mitt in the clean water bucket before reloading it with shampoo solution.
  6. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with clean water once every panel is washed.

Aftercare

  1. Dry the vehicle straight away with a clean microfibre drying towel.
  2. Empty and rinse both buckets and your wash mitt after use.
  3. Wash microfibre towels and mitts following their care labels, without fabric softener.
  4. Close the bottle tightly and store it upright away from frost and direct heat.
  5. Repeat as part of your routine maintenance wash to keep protected paint clean.

Top Tip: The formula is highly concentrated, so start with two small capfuls and add a third only if you need more lather.

Performance Benefits

  • Lifts dirt away from paintwork
  • Leaves paintwork glossy
  • Leaves a streak-free finish

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.
