Full Description

  • pH neutral formulation, won't remove any previously applied layers of wax or polish.
  • Reduces the risk of scratches and swirl marks.

Autoglym Polar Blast is a concentrated snow foam pre-wash, supplied here in a 2.5L bottle. It is pH neutral, and Autoglym states it does not remove previously applied waxes or sealants and can be used on matt and satin paint, so it suits protected cars as well as regular maintenance washes. Applied through a foam gun on a pressure washer, its thick, high-cling foam loosens dirt and heavy soiling before anything touches the paint, which reduces the risk of scratching during the contact wash. Autoglym's testers recommend 1:5, or 100ml of product to 500ml of water, with a working range from neat to 1:10 and a dwell of up to 10 minutes. Follow it with a shampoo contact wash, a clean wash mitt and a microfibre drying towel.

How To Use

Application

  1. Check that the bodywork and wheels are cool to the touch and out of direct sunlight.
  2. Pre-dilute Polar Blast in your foam gun bottle, starting at 1:5 with 100ml of product to 500ml of water.
  3. Attach the foam gun to your pressure washer and spray from the bottom of the car upwards.
  4. Cover every exterior surface, including the glass and wheels.
  5. Leave the foam to dwell for up to 10 minutes to loosen dirt, but do not let it dry on.
  6. Rinse thoroughly from the bottom up with the pressure washer, without agitating the foam.

Aftercare

  1. Follow the pre-wash with a two-bucket contact wash using car shampoo and a clean wash mitt.
  2. Dry the car with a clean microfibre drying towel before water can dry on the paint.
  3. Rinse the foam gun bottle and flush the gun through with clean water after use.
  4. Top up wax or sealant protection as needed, since Polar Blast leaves existing layers in place.
  5. Store the bottle upright with the cap closed, away from frost and direct heat.

Top Tip: Foam thickness also depends on your pressure washer settings and water hardness, so adjust the dilution between neat and 1:10.

  • Touch-free first stage of the wash
  • Dwells for up to 10 minutes

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this Polar Blast?

This is Autoglym Polar Blast in a 2.5L bottle. It is a concentrated snow foam, so it is diluted before use in a foam gun.

What dilution should I use?

Autoglym's testers recommend 1 part Polar Blast to 5 parts water, and 100ml of product to 500ml of water in the foam gun bottle is a good starting point. The product is developed to work anywhere from neat to 1 part Polar Blast to 10 parts water.

Will Polar Blast remove my wax or sealant?

No, Autoglym states that Polar Blast is pH neutral and does not remove previously applied waxes or sealants.

Can I use Polar Blast from a bucket?

No, Autoglym designed Polar Blast for use through a foam gun attached to a pressure washer and does not recommend using it in a bucket.

How long should I leave the foam on?

Leave Polar Blast to dwell for up to 10 minutes to loosen dirt, but do not let it dry on. Then rinse thoroughly from the bottom up.

Should I agitate the foam with a brush or mitt?

Autoglym does not recommend agitation as part of the pre-wash. Rinse the foam off with the pressure washer first, then carry out your contact wash with shampoo and a wash mitt.

Can I use Polar Blast on matt or satin paint?

Yes, Autoglym confirms Polar Blast can be used on matt and satin paint. It also states the foam is safe to use on all areas of the car, and its instructions cover glass and wheels.

What should I use after Polar Blast?

Follow it with a contact wash using a car shampoo and a clean wash mitt, then dry with a microfibre towel. In the Autoglym Polar range, the matching shampoo is Polar Wash.

AUTOGLYM POLAR BLAST 2.5L - The Drivers HQ

Autoglym since 1965

Eight treatments. Autoglym started small, with eight car care treatments made to bring tired bodywork and wheels back to life. Radiant Wax Polish kept the brand in front of British drivers, and in the 1970s Autoglym spread quickly across Europe.

Buses, coaches and trains. In the 1990s Autoglym set up a division for public transport vehicles, keeping buses, coaches and trains clean day and night. In the same decade it received two Royal Warrants of Appointment, from HRH The Queen Mother and from HRH The Prince of Wales.

High Definition Wax. Years of work in Autoglym's laboratory produced High Definition Wax, and the brand's name for long lasting gloss brought a third Royal Warrant, from Her Majesty The Queen.

Made in Letchworth. Autoglym develops, tests and makes its products in its own laboratories, test facilities and production sites, with a factory sized to supply the UK and more than 45 other countries.

AUTOGLYM SNOW FOAM LANCE KARTCHER K SERIES - The Drivers HQ

Using Polar Blast and the Snow Foam Lance

Polar Blast. A thick, high cling, pH neutral snow foam that loosens dirt and heavy soiling before you touch the paint. Because it is pH neutral it does not strip waxes or sealants already on the car, and Autoglym says it is safe on matt and satin paint.

Mixing it. A good starting point is 100ml of Polar Blast to 500ml of water in the foam bottle. It works anywhere from neat to 1 part Polar Blast to 10 parts water, and Autoglym has been very happy with it at 1:5. Adjust the foam gun for thicker or thinner foam.

Foaming the car. Check the bodywork and wheels are cool and out of direct sunlight. Foam the car, let Polar Blast dwell for up to 10 minutes without letting it dry, then rinse thoroughly from the bottom up. Do not agitate a pre-wash; follow it with a contact wash.

The lance. Its connector fits Karcher K Series pressure washers. Screw the foam gun head onto the wide neck bottle, turn the dial to set the foam and the nozzle to change the spray pattern, and flush it through with clean water when you finish. More in snow foam lances.
