Expert Notes

Autobrite Direct Jaffa Clean is an orange scented degreaser and protectant for the areas a normal wash does not reach: engine bays, door and boot shuts and greasy panels or parts. It removes dirt, grime and light grease and leaves a protected finish in one application, and the maker states it is safe on painted surfaces, plastics and rubber. Work on a cool engine, spray a light mist, let it penetrate for 1 to 2 minutes, agitate with a detailing brush, then rinse or wipe. It can be diluted up to 1:5 if required, and the 500ml bottle comes with a chemical resistant trigger. Pair it with soft detailing brushes, microfibre work towels and a separate degreaser for heavily greased parts.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Engine bays
  • Engine parts
  • Door shuts
  • Boot shuts
  • Painted exterior panels
  • Plastic parts
  • Rubber parts

Caution: Work on a cool engine and keep spray away from exposed electrical connectors and air intakes. Apply a light mist and never let it dry on the surface.

How To Use

Application

  1. Make sure the engine and panels are cool to the touch before starting.
  2. Cover or avoid exposed electrical connectors, the alternator and the air intake.
  3. Use it as supplied, or dilute up to 1:5 if required.
  4. Spray a light mist onto the surface, as over applying is not needed.
  5. Leave it to penetrate for 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Agitate with a detailing brush or a microfibre work towel.
  7. Rinse, or wipe away the excess to leave a grease-free, protected finish.

Aftercare

  1. Repeat the process on any area where dirt or grime still remains.
  2. Use a separate degreaser on heavily greased parts if needed, as Autobrite Direct advises.
  3. Dry off any standing water in the engine bay with a microfibre towel.
  4. Rinse brushes and wash towels after use, keeping them apart from paint tools.
  5. Store the bottle sealed, upright and out of reach of children, away from heat.

Top Tip: Work from the top of the engine bay down, so loosened grime does not run onto areas already cleaned.

  • Cuts through dirt and light grease

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Jaffa Clean be diluted?

Yes, Autobrite Direct states it can be diluted up to 1:5 if required, which makes the 500ml bottle go further.

Is it safe on paintwork, plastics and rubber?

Yes, Autobrite Direct states it is safe for both painted surfaces and plastics or rubber. Test a small hidden area first and do not let it dry on the surface.

How long should I leave it before agitating?

Leave it to penetrate for 1 to 2 minutes after spraying a light mist, then agitate with a detailing brush or microfibre work towel and wipe away the excess.

Do I need to rinse it off?

No, Autobrite Direct says you can either agitate and rinse, or spray and wipe. Either way, remove the excess product before you finish.

Will it remove heavy grease?

Not always: it is made for dirt, grime and light grease. Autobrite Direct advises that heavily greased parts may need a separate degreaser to break down grease and oil deposits.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Always work on a cool engine, never straight after a drive.
  2. Mask exposed electrical connectors and the air intake before spraying.
  3. A light mist is enough, so avoid soaking the area.
  4. Give it 1 to 2 minutes to penetrate before agitating.
  5. Use a soft detailing brush to reach seams and tight gaps.
  6. Spray and wipe door shuts to keep water out of the cabin.
  7. Keep engine bay brushes and towels separate from paint tools.
  8. Visit our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire for engine bay advice.

Glass Care, Wash and Paint Correction

Crystal Glass Cleaner has been part of the Autobrite Direct range since 2005 and, according to the brand, was one of the first products it developed. Its high flash-off formula is designed to be sprayed, wiped and buffed, and the brand describes it as safe for all glass, mirrors and window tints. For heavier contamination, Clear View Glass Polish removes bug splatter, grease, fallout and stubborn stains from glass, and contains no silicones or waxes.

On the wash side, Autobrite Direct describes Citrus Wash as a powerful yet gentle pre-wash and all-purpose cleaner infused with citrus oil, diluted to suit anything from light cleaning to degreasing. BriteGel is a sticky, non-acidic wheel cleaning gel that clings to the wheel and tyre with less run-off, and Ceramic Shield Magiseal is a water-based, SiO2 infused coating that can be applied through a foam lance or with a trigger sprayer.

For paint correction, the Correct It range pairs compounds and polishes with dedicated pads. The brand describes Enrich as a medium machine polishing compound that removes car wash scratches, swirl marks and light oxidation, and as a one-step cut and finish compound for most paint finishes.
