Expert Notes

Chemical Guys Glossworkz Autowash and Paintwork Cleanser is a 500ml maintenance shampoo built on a pH-balanced formula. Chemical Guys states it is safe on waxed surfaces for easy upkeep and that it boosts shine for a deep, show-ready gloss while lubricating dirt to help prevent scratches. It suits owners running a regular wash routine who want to protect existing wax or sealant rather than strip it back for fresh correction work. The shampoo works with a two-bucket wash, a foam gun or a foam cannon, so it pairs naturally with a dedicated wash mitt, a foam lance and a clean microfibre drying towel. Best suited to frequent maintenance washes rather than a one-off deep clean or decontamination stage.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Wax and sealant coated panels
  • Cars
  • Vans
  • Motorcycles
  • Caravans

Caution: Do not let the shampoo dry on the panel before rinsing, and avoid washing painted surfaces in direct hot sunlight.
