Expert Notes

A wash pad should hold a lot of water and still be kind to the paint. ChemicalWorkz builds this one from 1400 GSM Korean microfibre, 94% polyester and 6% viscose, in long, soft plush strands over an inner foam core that soaks up wash water and keeps the pad springy.

The new shape narrows in the middle, so it is easier to grip and control, and at 24 x 17 cm it sits well in the hand. It is durable, machine washable and reusable, and it arrives in a resealable zip bag that keeps it clean until you need it.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Glass
  • Plastic trim
  • All exterior surfaces

Caution: Wash it if it is dropped, grit trapped in the fibres can mark paint.

How To Use

Wash

  1. Pre-wash the car to loosen the worst of the dirt.
  2. Soak the pad in your shampoo bucket.
  3. Hold it by the narrow middle and glide it over one panel at a time.
  4. Rinse it in a clean water bucket before reloading.

Look after it

  1. Machine wash it at up to 40 degrees Celsius with a microfibre detergent.
  2. Never use fabric softener.
  3. Keep it out of the tumble dryer and do not iron it.

Top Tip: Let the pad do the work: light pressure and plenty of shampoo are kinder to the paint than scrubbing.

Performance Benefits

  • Long plush fibres lift dirt
  • Foam core soaks up wash water
  • Gentle on the washed surface
  • Sits securely in the hand
  • Washes paint, plastic and glass
  • Reusable after a machine wash

The Brand

chemicalworkz

ChemicalWorkz is a German detailing tools and accessories brand, the own brand of waschguru by Dukano GbR in Bebra, and it has traded under the name since 2018.

ChemicalWorkz wash mitts, pads and clay

Chenille wash mitts. The micro chenille microfibre mitt lifts dirt away from the paint into its strands for a thorough hand wash. It measures 26 x 17cm, 80% polyester and 20% polyamide, with a black cuff, in blue, green, orange and red. Different colours make it easy to keep one mitt for paint and another for wheels.

Viscose wash pad. The Viscose Wash Pad is 24 x 17cm of 1,400gsm Korean microfibre (94% polyester, 6% viscose) around a foam core that soaks up wash water, with a narrower middle for a better grip.

Clay. The Magic Clay Bar comes as two 50g bars in Fine or Medium, for paint, glass, metal and plastic. It removes tree sap mist, insect remains, paint spatter, road tar, rail dust, overspray and industrial fallout, and the bars can be used several times. ChemicalWorkz strongly recommends a clay lubricant. The Clay Sponge replaces a bar with a polymer-coated sponge: wash and rinse the car, keep it wet, spray lubricant and glide it over the panel without pressing. ChemicalWorkz says it lasts much longer than a clay bar.

Shop by type: wash mitts and pads, clay bars and clay mitts and sponges.

ChemicalWorkz swabs, tyre brush and drying

Swabs. The Detailing Swabs set holds 10 swabs in 5 designs with foam or microfibre tips, for vents, emblems and other tight spots inside and out. The Coating Swabs are five foam applicators on 9.5cm handles with a tapered 6.5cm tip, soft enough to work sealant or coating into grilles, multi-spoke wheels and brake calipers.

Ultimate Tyre Brush. The Ultimate Tyre Brush is 28cm long, with a non-slip comfort grip and extra soft bristles for scrubbing road grime off the tyre wall.

Magnetic Stripes. The Magnetic Stripes are 1,400gsm Shark Twisted Loop microfibre strips with built-in magnets, sold as a pair, each 26.5 x 5 x 1.5cm. Place them under a door mirror or another drip point after drying and they catch the water that would otherwise run down the door and leave spots.

Shop by type: detailing swabs, tyre brushes and drying towels.
