Full Description

VP-UK pH Neutral Shampoo is a 1000:1 concentrated, dense-foaming pure shampoo. Its surfactants and lubricants surround grit and grime so the mitt glides over the paint, and the suds carry the dirt away to reduce marring.

There are no added gloss enhancers, so it suits gloss, satin and matte paint and wraps, and it leaves existing wax layers in place. VP-UK says it dries without streaks. The squeeze cap lets you pour exactly the amount you need.

How to use

  1. Add the shampoo to your bucket of water at 1000:1.
  2. Foam it up with the jet wash or hose.
  3. Wash every panel evenly with a wash mitt.
  4. Rinse off with clean water.

Expert Notes

The VP-UK Detailing pH Neutral car shampoo is made for hand washing cars. It comes in 500ml, 1L and 5L. VP-UK Detailing recommends a 1000:1 dilution in your wash bucket. Use it in a bucket at the dilution on the bottle, wash from the roof down with a clean mitt and a second rinse bucket, and rinse each panel before it dries. Keep it away from eyes and out of reach of children, and store it upright out of direct sunlight.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Glass
  • Exterior plastic trim
  • Chrome and badges
  • Alloy wheel faces

Caution: Wash in the shade on cool panels and never let it dry on the paint. Keep it away from eyes and out of reach of children.

How To Use

Washing

  1. Rinse the car to remove loose dirt.
  2. Add shampoo to a bucket of water at the dilution on the bottle.
  3. Wash from the roof down with a clean wash mitt, one panel at a time.
  4. Rinse the mitt in a second bucket of clean water between panels.
  5. Rinse the car thoroughly before it dries.

Drying

  1. Dry with a clean, plush drying towel.
  2. Pat or glide the towel gently, never scrub.
  3. Dry the glass last with a separate towel.

VP-UK wash, decontamination and protection

VP-UK wash, decontamination and protection

Wash. The Citrus Pre-Wash is a concentrate for the dirtiest lower panels, used down to a 50/50 mix for winter grime. Snow Foam is a thick citrus foam that clings for a long dwell without removing coatings: 100 to 150ml in a 1 litre cannon bottle, topped up with water. The pH Neutral Shampoo has no added gloss enhancers, so it suits gloss, satin and matte paint and wraps, and the Ceramic Shampoo is a low suds, high lubrication wash that lays down a ceramic layer VP-UK rates at three months.

Wheels and decontamination. The acid-free Wheel Cleaner is safe for regular use on alloy, chrome, painted and polished wheels, and the Iron Fallout Remover turns blood red to purple as it dissolves iron from wheels and paint.

Polish and protect. Fast is a quick cutting liquid compound that removes sanding scratches and holograms, the All In One Compound breaks down from heavy cut to ultra fine finish, and the Finishing Polish refines and protects with carnauba, Montan wax and siloxane, by hand or machine. Dry Helmet is a ceramic sealant that leaves a siloxane layer, Wet & Dry Seal goes on the wet car as a drying aid rated at up to three months, and the Hybrid Quick Detailer adds gloss and a thin hydrophobic layer between washes.

VP-UK interior, glass and tyre care

VP-UK interior, glass and tyre care

Interior. Cleanse cuts through grease on plastics, leather, wood, carbon fibre and chrome, and the All Purpose Cleaner has a gentle foaming action for interior trim and headlinings as well as exterior plastics, engine bays and tyres. Leather Clean & Condition cleans and moisturises leather in one step, leaving a non-greasy satin finish, and also suits Alcantara and textiles. The Femme and Homme odour eliminators break down bad smells and leave a perfume or cologne fragrance.

Glass. The Glass Cleaner cleans inside and out and leaves a hydrophobic seal, safe on tint, mirrors and plastic, and the concentrated Ceramic Screen Wash leaves a ceramic layer on the screen as you drive; mix it stronger for winter and weaker for summer.

Tyres. The silicone based Tyre Dressing does not sling: one layer gives a satin factory look and each extra layer builds towards a wet gloss.

Starter box. The Essentials Box puts six 500ml bottles together: Fallout Remover, pH Neutral Shampoo, Dry Helmet, Cleanse, Snow Foam and Citrus Pre-Wash. Most VP-UK liquids come in 500ml, 1L and 5L.
