Duel BlackJack Tar & Glue Remover

Pre-wash and wash. Assault is an alkaline snow foam that lifts traffic film without stripping wax or sealant: 50ml with 450ml of water in a foam lance covers a car, left for three to five minutes. Engage is the pH neutral foam for maintenance washes. The Snow Lux coloured snow foams come in Banana Blizzard yellow, Strawberry Storm red, Berry Blanket blue and Apple Alpine green. Nitty Gritty is a non-caustic pre-wash and degreaser for engine bays, door shuts and wheel arches, and Bahama Blue is a concentrated pH neutral shampoo, 15ml to a bucket. For contamination there is BlackJack for tar and glue, and Toxin, a gel iron fallout remover that turns purple as it works.

Wheels and tyres. Axis is an acid-free, alkaline wheel cleaner for clear-coated, painted and diamond cut wheels. Dilute it up to 20:1 for a light clean, about 10:1 for general brake dust and about 5:1 for heavy dirt, and leave it two to three minutes. Cleanse strips old dressing from the tyre wall, then Profile dresses tyres and trim without sling: one layer gives a satin finish, more layers add gloss.

Protection and finishing. Flex is a polymer sealant you spray through a foam lance onto the wet car and rinse off, protecting paint and glass for six to eight weeks, with 20 applications per bottle. Oxide does the same job by hand as a quick detailer and spray sealant. Element Hybrid Wax blends prime yellow T1 carnauba with synthetics for three to four months of protection, and one 100ml tin covers ten or more cars. Nitro is a bilberry scented quick detailer for every exterior surface, and Panel Prep removes oils and polish residue before a wax, sealant or coating.
