Full Description

The Stjarnagloss Bubblor pH Neutral Pure Car Shampoo is designed for detailers who want one thing from their wash shampoo: safe, effective cleaning. Free from gloss enhancers, wax additives and unnecessary fillers, Bubblor focuses purely on lifting dirt safely from paintwork whilst providing lubrication and rich foam.

Suitable for gloss, satin and matte finishes, Bubblor is completely safe on ceramic coatings, waxes, sealants, PPF and vinyl wraps. The advanced pH neutral formula contains limescale inhibitors to help reduce water spotting, making it an excellent choice for regular maintenance washing throughout the UK.

Using premium-grade surfactants, Bubblor generates an impressive amount of foam from just a small amount of product, helping to encapsulate dirt and contamination whilst maximising wash safety.

Why Choose A Pure Shampoo?

Bubblor has been developed as a true pure shampoo, allowing it to clean effectively without affecting existing protection layers or masking the condition of the paintwork.

This makes it particularly popular with ceramic coating owners, professional detailers and enthusiasts who want maximum cleaning performance without unwanted additives.

Expert Notes

Bubblor is a pure, pH neutral car shampoo made without gloss enhancers, wax additives or fillers, so it cleans without masking the true condition of the paint or the protection on it. Stjarnagloss states it won't strip previously applied wax or sealant layers, and it is safe on ceramic coatings, vinyl wraps and PPF, with gloss, satin and matt finishes all suitable. Limescale inhibitors help reduce water spotting. One to two capfuls, about 6ml each, in a bucket gives around 1:800 for maintenance washing, with 1:600 for heavy soiling or hard water. It suits coating owners, enthusiasts and professional detailers washing weekly, and pairs well with a pre-wash, a soft wash mitt and a plush drying towel.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Gloss paintwork
  • Matt and satin finishes
  • Ceramic coated vehicles
  • Waxed and sealed paint
  • Vinyl wraps
  • Paint protection film
  • Exterior glass

Caution: Wash out of direct sun and rinse each section before the solution dries, as dried shampoo can leave marks on hot panels.

The Brand

Stjarnagloss

Stjärnagloss (usually typed Stjarnagloss) is a British car care brand owned by Dodo Juice Ltd, the Essex company that also makes Dodo Juice. The brand was relaunched in 2019 with a small, reformulated range, and every product has a short Scandinavian-style name that tells you its job: Snö is the snow foam, Bubblor the shampoo, Hjul the wheel cleaner, Glas the glass cleaner and Inni the interior cleaner.

The range is small. There is one main product for each stage of a wash, from pre-wash to protection, plus stronger X versions for heavy dirt, and the products are made to be used together. That makes Stjarnagloss easy to pick if you wash your own car at the weekend and want a complete routine without working through dozens of similar bottles.

We stock the Stjarnagloss range online and at our Ilkeston shop, including the products our customers buy most: Snö snow foam, Först citrus pre-cleaner, Glatt rinse aid, Glö hydrophobic snow foam and Hjul wheel cleaner.

The Stjarnagloss range, stage by stage

Pre-wash. Först is a citrus pre-wash (traffic film remover) for the dirtiest areas, usually the lower half and back of the car. Först X is the concentrate, made with surfactants, solvents and natural orange oil: mixed 50/50 with water it makes standard Först, so 1 litre makes 2 litres. Snö is a thick pH-neutral snow foam that is mild enough for waxed, sealed and coated cars, and Snö X combines the cleaning power of Först with the dwell time of Snö for heavier dirt, at about 50ml in a 1-litre lance bottle.

Wash. Bubblor is a pH-neutral shampoo with no gloss enhancers and limescale inhibitors to reduce water spots. It suits gloss, satin and matt paint and will not strip an existing wax or sealant. For matt paint and wraps there is Matta matt shampoo and Mörk, a quick detailer that keeps a matt finish matt.

Wheels and decontamination. Hjul is a thick colour-changing wheel cleaner that contains soap for road grime, an iron remover for brake dust and solvents for tar spots, and it doubles as a fallout remover on paintwork. Tjära removes tar, glue and bug residue with natural orange oil as its active ingredient.

Protect. Glatt is a water-repellent rinse aid that adds shine, helps water and dirt run off and makes the next wash easier; use it one panel at a time. Glö is Glatt and Snö in one: you foam the car after the contact wash and rinse, and it leaves paint and glass beading. For longer-lasting protection use Pärla spray sealant, or Glasyr, a glaze that fills minor swirls and then seals the paint with the same sealant technology as Pärla. Skära is a gloss-enhancing polish, and Silke is a high-gloss quick detailer for a final touch of gloss after washing.

Glass, tyres and interior. Glas cleans glass without streaks, Gummi dresses tyres and trim with a satin sheen, and Inni cleans hard and soft surfaces inside the car. The range also includes air fresheners, from the Roots, Angel and Jerry hanging cards to the Skönhet and Stekare sprays.

Shop Stjarnagloss by type: snow foam, citrus pre-wash, car shampoo, wheel cleaners, paint sealants, quick detailers and hanging air fresheners.

Our Stjarnagloss wash routine

Starting from scratch? This is the routine we recommend with the Stjarnagloss range, and it covers everything most cars need:

  • Spray Först on the lower panels, let it work for a few minutes without drying, then rinse with a pressure washer.
  • Foam the whole car with Snö, let it dwell, then rinse.
  • Clean the wheels with Hjul, then wash the paint with Bubblor using two buckets with grit guards.
  • Foam the car again with Glö (start with 100ml in a 1-litre lance bottle), rinse, and dry with a drying towel.
  • Finish with Glas on the windows and Gummi on the tyres.

After every use of Glö, run a litre of clean water through your snow foam lance, because sealant foams can block the lance filter. On a ceramic-coated car, use Först X at 50/50 or weaker with a short dwell time, and avoid it on a freshly applied coating.

Stjarnagloss and Dodo Juice come from the same company, so the two ranges mix well if you already use Dodo Juice products.

  1. DATCVerified buyer

    This shampoo does exactly what it needs to, but what really stands out is how enjoyable it is to use. It feels like a much more expensive product than it actually is, and the excellent dilution ratio makes it even better value for money. We always buy it in 5L containers to keep costs down, making it an incredibly economical choice without compromising on the experience.
