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
  • Leaves a protected finish behind
  • Leaves door shuts clean and glossy
  • Safe on paint, plastics and rubber
  • Rinse off or simply wipe away

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Jaffa Clean used for?

Autobrite Direct Jaffa Clean is a degreaser and protectant for engine bays, door and boot shuts and other panels or parts where light grease and oil build up. It removes dirt, grime and light grease and leaves a protected finish in one application.

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.

What size is it and what does it smell like?

It is a 500ml bottle with a pleasant orange fragrance, and Autobrite Direct supplies the 500ml size with a chemical resistant trigger.

Where can I buy Jaffa Clean?

The Drivers HQ sells it online with UK-wide delivery, and our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire can advise on engine bay cleaning.

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.

The Brand

Autobrite Direct

Autobrite Direct is a UK car detailing brand founded in 2005 that describes itself as built by detailers, for detailers. Magifoam snow foam, Crystal glass cleaner and Tyregloss date from its early years. In 2026 the brand was relaunched by Technical Brands UK & Ireland Limited, of County Antrim, which had been the official Autobrite Direct reseller in Ireland; the earlier company, Autobrite Direct Limited, no longer trades. The new operator says it has brought back key legacy formulas and that the products are manufactured in the UK.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Autobrite Direct online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop. Popular choices include Magifoam, Purple Velvet shampoo and Project 64.

Autobrite wash, wheels and decontamination

Pre-wash and snow foam. Citrus Wash is a citrus oil pre-wash and all purpose cleaner for paint, plastic, vinyl and rubber, diluted 100:1 for light cleaning, 50:1 for a general pre-wash, 30:1 for heavy grime and 10:1 for degreasing. Stronger mixes can reduce wax or sealant, so Autobrite suggests 50:1 or weaker for maintenance washes. Magifoam is a stable, wax and sealant safe snow foam: 100 to 200ml in the lance, topped up with water, left to dwell but never to dry. Custard Magifoam is the vanilla custard scented version, and the thick mousse style Jelly Bean and Parma Violet Super Foams suit lighter summer dirt.

Shampoos. Purple Velvet is a pH neutral shampoo with a Juicy Fruit scent that dilutes up to 1500:1, a 10ml capful in 15 litres. Banana Gloss is pH neutral and kind to existing wax, and Ceramic Infused Shampoo adds a slick, hydrophobic layer, used at 400:1 in the bucket or straight onto the mitt. Wash with the Synthetic Wool Wash Mitt and a 20 litre Detailing Bucket in black or clear, each with a Gamma Seal lid and Dirt Guard; the Bucket Organiser fits most 20 litre buckets and holds bottles, mitts and brushes.

Wheels, tyres and decontamination. BriteGel is a lemon and lime scented, non-acidic wheel gel that clings to the wheel and tyre, and Very Cherry Non Acidic is a high foaming, acid free wheel cleaner for painted and clear coated wheels. Purple Rain is a ready to use gel fallout remover for wheels and bodywork that turns purple as it dissolves iron: do not dilute it, and keep it off damaged or unlacquered paint and alloys. Just The Tonic is a solvent tar and glue remover that also lifts sticker glue and, inside, ink, oil and chewing gum from carpets. Tyregloss is a cherry scented tyre dressing: a little for satin, more for high gloss.

Autobrite polishing, protection, glass and interior

Paint correction. The Correct It compounds are made for modern ceramic and scratch resistant clear coats as well as hard German paint: Restore is the heavy cut, rated to remove 1500 grit sanding marks, Enrich is a medium one step cut and finish, and Final Finish is the anti-hologram finishing polish. The 135mm pads are colour coded: orange for cutting and green for polishing, both German open cell foam, with the Hybrid Wool Ultracut and Correct It PRO microfibre pads for faster correction.

Protection and gloss. Prep-It removes polishing oils and residue before a coating, sealant or wax. Ultraslick is a polymer sealant for paint, glass, chrome and unpainted plastics in a 250ml atomiser bottle, and Carbanuba is a banana scented cream wax of carnauba, montan and microcrystalline waxes. Magiseal is a water based, SiO2 infused coating: 100ml with 400ml of water in a foam lance, or 25ml with 475ml in a trigger, rinsed straight off, for two to three months of protection. Project 64 is a pH neutral spray, wipe and buff gloss enhancer, Quickshine works as a quick detailer, waterless wash or clay lubricant, and Top Gloss is a wax drying aid. Apply them with the foam applicators, six to a pack, and polish bright metal with Metalworx.

Glass. Crystal has been in the range since 2005: a fast flash-off glass cleaner, safe on glass, mirrors and window tints. Clear View polishes away bug splatter, fallout and watermarks with no silicones or waxes, ready for Repel, a rain repellent that Autobrite says beads water off from around 30mph. Buff with The Enforcer, a 55 x 63cm, 300gsm glass towel.

Interior and kit. Fab is a high foaming upholstery cleaner and pre-spotter, Magic Carpet a low foaming fabric cleaner with odour neutralisers, and the Alcantara Cleaner is solvent free and water based for Alcantara and suede. Jaffa Clean degreases and protects engine bays and door shuts, and the Soft White Drill Brush (5in) scrubs carpets and mats. Carry it all in the Detailing Holdall or Detailing Kit Bag, or start with the boxed Essential Detailing Kit.
