The Brand

OCDfinish

OCDfinish is a UK car care brand set up in 2009 by close friends Neil Trew and Ashley James. Their love of cleaning cars earned them the nickname Mr. OCD, and buying their favourite products from different places became such a nightmare that they decided to make their own, with all their favourites in one place and in the same bottle. In 2015 Ashley stepped down as a partner and Neil took full ownership. OCDfinish describes itself as a maker of detailing products from shampoo to hydrophobic glass cleaner, for car enthusiasts, detailers and resellers alike.

At The Drivers HQ we stock OCDfinish online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop, including Erase Tar & Glue Remover, 20/20 Vision Glass Cleaner and Cow Food Leather Armour.

OCDfinish tar remover, polish and glass cleaner

Tar and glue. Erase Tar & Glue Remover breaks down tar on paintwork so it washes off with ease during the clean, and it also cuts through grease, oil, wax and other adhesives. Spray it onto the affected area, leave it to penetrate for no more than 60 seconds, release the tar or glue with a microfibre cloth, then rinse off.

Pre-wax polish. Enhance Deep Gloss Polish is a pre-wax, pre-sealant polish that gives protection a clean base by removing contaminants that normal washing will not shift. Apply it to a clean, dry car with an applicator pad, covering the paintwork completely, buff off with a clean microfibre cloth, then lock in the finish with a wax or sealant.

Glass. 20/20 Vision Glass Cleaner cleans all glass and mirrored surfaces to a clear, smear-free finish, and OCDfinish says its Nano technology adds an element of protection. Spritz it sparingly onto the glass, wipe with a dry, clean, lint-free cloth for even coverage, then lightly buff off any excess.

Order of work. Use Erase during the wash, Enhance once the paint is clean and dry, and do the glass last so overspray from the other steps cannot smear it.

OCDfinish leather care and how the range began

Leather Armour. Cow Food Leather Armour defends leather against the elements and is designed to prolong its life while keeping it as supple as possible. Apply it directly to a dry surface and buff off with a clean microfibre cloth.

Clean before you protect. OCDfinish pairs it with Cow Food Leather Cleaner, which cleanses leather and prepares it for conditioning. For persistent dirt it advises working the cleaner in with a soft brush and wiping the area clean before the Armour goes on.

How the range was made. The idea took shape at a photo shoot. A photographer shooting the friends cleaning cars for his university degree brought along a friend who was studying to be a chemist, and he offered to help. The opening range took over two years to complete, and the founders sold their drift car and track car and moved back home to fund it. The products were a hit at the shows that followed, and Neil later opened an outlet in Holland to reach Europe.
