Full Description

ValetPro Advanced Poseidon Car Wash is a gloss-enhancing car shampoo that combines powerful cleaning with a protective sacrificial layer. It removes dirt with ease and leaves a high-gloss, water-repelling film that helps prolong the life of your existing wax or sealant.

A blend of anionic surfactants and polymers lifts dirt and rinses clean without residue, the mitt glides smoothly over the paint and drying is faster. ValetPro says it suits regular maintenance on all paint types, including ceramic-coated cars. Dilute 30ml in 5 litres of water. With the 5L size, the ValetPro 5L Dispenser Pump Trigger gives 30ml per full pump, one dose for 5 litres of water.

Expert Notes

Traditional wash and wax shampoos come with compromises, and ValetPro built Advanced Poseidon to remove them. A blend of anionic surfactants and polymers lifts dirt and grime and rinses clean, then leaves a thin, sacrificial high-gloss coating with temporary water-repelling properties.

That layer protects the wax or sealant underneath, so it lasts longer between top-ups, and the slick formula lets the mitt glide to minimise swirl risk. ValetPro says drying time is noticeably reduced and the car comes out with deeper gloss and better water sheeting, on all paint types including ceramic coatings.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Ceramic-coated paint
  • Waxed and sealed paint
  • Car and van paintwork

Caution: Wash in the shade and rinse before the shampoo dries on the paint.

ValetPro wash, decontamination and protection

Snow foam. pH Neutral Snow Foam is for regular maintenance washes. Advanced Neutral cleans tougher grime with less foam. Foamula 1 combines cleaning with a thicker foam: 100 to 300ml in the lance bottle topped up to 1 litre, left for five minutes without drying. Snow Foam Combo 2 is alkaline, for stripping old protection before a reset. Also Citrus Pre Wash.

Shampoo. Advanced Poseidon is a gloss-enhancing shampoo at 30ml in 5 litres of water. Ceramic Shampoo adds SiO2-derived protection at 15ml in 5 litres, which ValetPro rates at up to four weeks. Also Concentrated Car Wash, and for caravans Caravan Wash and Shine and Luxury Caravan Wash.

Wheels and decontamination. Bilberry is an alkaline, acid-free wheel cleaner for painted and lacquered wheels: neat for heavy dirt or 1:10 for light, never left to dry, then pressure rinsed. It is not for unlacquered or polished rims. Dragon's Breath is a neutral gel that turns red as it reacts with iron fallout on wheels and paint: on a washed, cool car, leave it five minutes without drying, rinse, then wash again. Then Citrus Tar and Glue Remover, Bug Remover and clay bars in mild, medium and heavy, with Clay Rider lubricant.

Protection. Snow Seal goes on through the foam lance (50ml with 250ml of water) and is rinsed before drying; keep it off the windscreen and do not use it on convertibles. Citrus Bling is a spray protection and drying aid, about four weeks on its own; Indulgence Cream Wax is a carnauba liquid wax lasting a few months; Matte Protect protects matte paint and vinyl without adding gloss.

Shop by type: snow foam, car shampoo, wheel cleaners and iron and fallout removers.
