Expert Notes

Car-Chem Interior Clean Coat is a dual action interior cleaner and dressing, designed to clean and leave a satin finish in one step. Its specialist surfactant technology is left to work for a few minutes, then wiped off with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and buffed with a second lint-free cloth for a crisp finish. Car-Chem describes it as quick and easy to apply to all interior surfaces, and it can be diluted for day-to-day upkeep. The fragrance is applemint. It suits drivers who want one bottle for regular interior maintenance. Pair it with a vacuum, soft detailing brushes for vents and seams, and a stack of clean microfibre cloths.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Dashboards
  • Door cards
  • Centre consoles
  • Interior plastics
  • Vinyl trim
  • Glovebox and cubby areas

Caution: Spray onto a cloth rather than directly onto screens, switches and electronics, and test on a small hidden area first, especially on delicate or unusual materials.

How To Use

Application

  1. Vacuum the interior first to remove loose dust and debris.
  2. Spray Interior Clean Coat onto the surface you want to clean.
  3. Leave the specialist surfactants to work for a few minutes.
  4. Wipe over with a clean, dry microfibre cloth until no residue remains.
  5. Buff with a second clean, lint-free microfibre cloth for a crisp finish.
  6. For screens, switches and electronics, spray onto the cloth instead of the surface.

Aftercare

  1. For day-to-day upkeep, use a diluted mix and apply it the same way.
  2. Wash used microfibre cloths separately, without fabric softener.
  3. Keep dressing off pedals and foot controls.
  4. Wipe any overspray off the inside of the glass.
  5. Store the bottle upright, sealed and out of direct sunlight.

Top Tip: Use two cloths: one to wipe off the residue and a second, lint-free one to buff the finish.

The Brand

Car-Chem

Car-Chem is a car care manufacturer with an on-site laboratory, a dedicated research chemist and a production facility in Nottingham. The company says it has researched, developed and produced car care since 2010, and that its products are trusted by professionals and enthusiasts in over 40 countries. In 2024 it was acquired by Leading Solvent Supplies, a UK chemical group, and alongside its own Car-Chem range it develops and produces private label products for other businesses.

The Drivers HQ stocks Car-Chem across the whole wash and protection routine, with several products in 500ml and 5L sizes. For washing there is Pre Soak+ Snow Foam, Citrus Clean, Total Clean Traffic Film Remover, 1900:1 Shampoo and Clean Wheels. Protection comes from Sapphire Ceramic Wax, Connoisseur Carnauba Wax and Hydro Quick Detailer, with Prep Panel Wipe to ready the paint. Inside there is Interior Clean Coat, Hide Leather Cream and Refresh Odour Eliminator, and for glass, Pre Icer and Screen Wash Water Resistant.

Car-Chem suits enthusiasts who want to build a complete kit from one maker, and detailers who get through a lot of product, since the 5L sizes are handy for refilling smaller bottles. A typical routine starts with snow foam and a citrus pre-wash to loosen dirt before a careful contact wash with shampoo, then the wheels. Panel wipe removes oils before a ceramic or carnauba wax goes on, and a quick detailer keeps the finish topped up between washes. Glass and interior products finish the car inside and out.

Buy Car-Chem from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery, or visit our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where Click & Collect is free. Whether you are restocking a favourite shampoo in a larger size, trying a ceramic wax or putting together a winter glass kit with Pre Icer and screen wash, you can combine Car-Chem products with the rest of your detailing and car care essentials in a single order.

In 2024 Car-Chem was acquired by Leading Solvent Supplies, a UK chemical group.

CARCHEM SAPPHIRE CERAMIC WAX - The Drivers HQ

From Snow Foam to Ceramic Wax

Car-Chem describes 1900:1 Shampoo as a highly concentrated shampoo that cuts through dirt, grime and road contaminants while preserving waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings, with lubricants that give a smooth glide and reduce the risk of swirls, scratches and marring. Before the contact wash, Pre Soak+ Snow Foam lifts dirt and grime from exterior surfaces without stripping sealant or wax, and Citrus Clean is a versatile cleaner for jobs inside and outside the car, diluted with water to suit the task.

Clean Wheels is an acid-based spray cleaner that the brand says is suitable for alloy, painted and plastic-trimmed wheels, lifting brake dust, grit and grease. When the paint is clean, Prep Panel Wipe removes oils and silicones to leave a streak-free surface ready for last stage protection.

For that protection, The Drivers HQ stocks Sapphire, an SiO2 based ceramic wax, and Connoisseur Carnauba Wax, which protects against contamination while adding to the natural gloss of the paint, with Hydro Quick Detailer adding a thin layer of hydrophobic sealant between washes. Pre Icer is a glass coating that helps stop ice settling on treated glass, Screen Wash Water Resistant is a screen wash additive that coats the windscreen with a hydrophobic barrier, Hide Leather Cream moisturises leather and Refresh Odour Eliminator targets bad smells at the source.
