Full Description

  • Highly concentrated, dilution ratio 400:1
  • Use with hot or cold water

Diamond Performance TFR Traffic Film Remover is a citrus based pre-wash, highly concentrated at a stated 400:1 dilution ratio and mixable with hot or cold water. It is designed to be applied before the main wash, loosening traffic film and road grime so less scrubbing is needed at the contact wash stage. As a pre-wash product it should be followed by a dedicated car shampoo rather than used on its own. It suits regular use on vehicles that pick up heavy traffic film, and pairs well with a snow foam or shampoo pre-wash routine, a soft brush for stubborn areas, and a two bucket wash method. Always rinse thoroughly before the solution has a chance to dry on the paintwork.

The Brand

Diamond Performance

Diamond Performance is a car care range sold in black bottles with yellow branding and a stylised D and P logo. The brand's own website, diamond-performance.co.uk, is mainly a car styling shop, selling parts such as gloss black badge covers for the Renault Clio, roll cage protectors and wing mirror covers, along with domed Diamond Performance logo badges. The same site has listed the car care products, describing its Mild Wheel Cleaner as made in the UK, and each label states key facts about the formula, such as pH neutral or non caustic.

The Drivers HQ stocks Diamond Performance for the wash. There is the All in One Snow Foam, the TFR Traffic Film Remover and the 2in1 Car Shampoo, which is labelled as a shampoo and wax, and the Motorbike Cleaner covers motorbikes and bikes.

Diamond Performance suits drivers who want a straightforward wash kit without a shelf full of specialist bottles. A simple routine starts with the snow foam or the traffic film remover to loosen road grime, followed by a wash with the 2in1 Car Shampoo. Always follow the directions on each label.

Buy Diamond Performance from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery, or call in at our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where Click & Collect is free. The snow foam, TFR and shampoo cover the wash stage on their own, and you can add anything else from the rest of our car care and detailing range in the same order.

Styling Parts and Clearly Labelled Care

Diamond Performance is not only a car care name. Its own website, diamond-performance.co.uk, sells car styling parts such as gloss black badge covers for the Renault Clio, roll cage protectors and wing mirror covers in a carbon effect finish, alongside domed Diamond Performance logo badges.

The same site has listed Diamond Performance car care products, and its description of the Mild Wheel Cleaner shows the brand's approach: non caustic, safe on painted and aluminium wheels, containing no acids or solvents, and made in the UK. The listing also said the cleaner was safe to use on brake pads, paintwork, rubber, suspension seals and anodised surfaces.

That approach carries across the labels. Each bottle states the key facts on the front: the shampoo, snow foam, TFR and motorbike cleaner are marked pH neutral and non caustic, the tyre dressing and the Strong & Smelly Wheel Cleaner are marked acid free and pH balanced, and the glass cleaner is marked alcohol based.

Diamond Performance 3 in 1 Quick Detailer - The Drivers HQ

What Each Bottle Is For

The wash products are all labelled pH neutral and non caustic. The All in One Snow Foam contains wax and is marked 200:1, the TFR Traffic Film Remover is marked 400:1, and the 2in1 Car Shampoo combines shampoo and wax in what the label calls a mild formula, also marked 200:1.

For wheels and tyres, the Mild Wheel Cleaner is non caustic and safe on painted and aluminium wheels, while the Strong & Smelly Wheel Cleaner is acid free, pH balanced and labelled safe on aluminium wheels. The Long Lasting Tyre & Trim Shine/Dressing is silicone based, acid free and pH balanced, for tyres and trim.

To finish, the 3 in 1 Quick Detailer is labelled to clean, polish and protect without water and contains carnauba wax, and the Super Shine Glass Cleaner is alcohol based. The Super Shine Motorbike & Bike Cleaner, pH neutral and non caustic, takes the same approach to motorbikes and bicycles, so the range covers two wheels as well as four.
