Expert Notes

A quick detailer is a fast way to bring a clean car back to a showroom finish. This polymer based spray adds clarity and gloss, and its filling ability helps the paint look deeper.

It works straight after a wash, and between washes for dust and fingerprints, topping up the wax already on the car.

Autobead calls it an essential for any detailing kit bag, and the perfect companion where time is short and a showroom finish is needed.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Waxed paint

Caution: For dust and light marks only. Wash heavily soiled cars first.

The Brand

Autobead

Autobead (also written AutoBead or Auto Bead) was founded on simplicity and efficiency: car care products that get a car clean and protected with as little wasted effort as possible. It has supplied car cleaning and maintenance products to drivers in Germany, Switzerland and Austria since 1999, and its range now covers every stage of a detail, from citrus pre-wash and shampoo to compounds, polishing pads and Silex ceramic coatings.

The Drivers HQ is the exclusive UK reseller of Autobead. We keep the range on the shelf at our Ilkeston shop and deliver it across the UK.

Our customers' favourites are Heavy Dirt citrus pre-wash, Pure Shampoo, Snow Foam and the two wheel cleaners, Alloy Cleaner and Acid Wheel Cleaner.

Autobead products by job

Pre-wash and wash. Heavy Dirt is a concentrated citrus pre-wash for bugs, bird lime and road grime, and it is safe on wax and sealants: dilute it 25:1 for everyday use or 10:1 for heavy dirt, and it also cleans door shuts, engine bays, plastics and rubber. Snow Foam is mildly alkaline and goes in the lance at 1 part to 4 parts water. Pure Shampoo is a pH-neutral 2300:1 shampoo with no gloss enhancers or waxes, so it will not mask or break down existing protection, and Ceramic Shampoo builds up a layer of ceramic protection with regular use.

Wheels. Alloy Cleaner is a ready-to-use, non-acidic wheel cleaner that is safe on all wheel types, and Alloy Cleaner Concentrate is a concentrate you dilute to suit how dirty the wheels are. For neglected wheels with baked-on brake dust, Acid Wheel Cleaner is a gel used at 1:3, but not on sensitive finishes or damaged wheels. Finish with Tyre Dressing, a gel that does not sling.

Decontamination. Iron Fallout Remover is a pH-neutral gel that turns purple as it dissolves iron particles on paint and wheels, and Tar Gel lifts tar spots with less run-off than a liquid. Keep tar removers off plastics and rubber.

Paint correction. The three compounds are graded by the sanding marks they remove: Heavy Cut up to 1500 grade, Medium Cut up to 2500 grade and Finishing Compound up to 3000 grade, each with a Downforce foam pad of the same cut (heavy, medium, fine) for dual action or rotary machines. Surface Prep removes silicones, wax and sealant before a coating.

Protection. Lance Sealant gives up to three months of protection from a foam lance, Spray Sealant is a silicone polymer and silica resin sealant, and the waxes include a Matte Wax for matt paint and wraps. Between washes, Quick Detailer and Ceramic Quick Detailer top up the gloss.

Interior. Interior Detailer leaves plastics, vinyl and leather with a matt, factory-look finish, Leather Cleaner is a pH-neutral cleaner and conditioner, and All Purpose Cleaner dilutes from 5:1 to 30:1 for everything from carpets to wheel arch liners.

Shop Autobead by type: citrus pre-wash, snow foam, car shampoo, wheel cleaners, compounds and polishes, polishing pads and ceramic coatings.

Choosing an Autobead ceramic coating

Autobead's Silex ceramic coatings come in two families:

  • Silex Series: the 1 Year Paint Coating and 2 Year Paint Coating, titanium ceramic coatings designed to be applied outdoors in a single, self-levelling layer. They resist chemicals from pH 2 to pH 12.
  • Silex Pro: the 3 Year and 5 Year Paint Coatings and the 5 Year Graphene Coating, for longer protection.

Autobead also makes coatings for alloy wheels, glass, leather and fabric.

Autobead's coating warranty matches each paint coating's labelled durability. It applies when the coating is installed by an Autobead Accredited Detailer, the warranty is registered within seven days and the car has a yearly inspection with the installer.

Whoever applies it, the paint needs to be washed, decontaminated and, if needed, polished first, then wiped with Surface Prep so the coating can bond. Do not wash the car with detergent for the first 10 days, then keep it clean with Pure Shampoo or Ceramic Shampoo.

Autobead also trains detailers through its Detail Like a Pro courses (a Foundation Day, an Advanced Day and a four-day Masterclass) and its Silex accreditation for professional coating installers.
