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

  • 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.

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.
