Autoglym Polar Wash, 2.5L - Snow Foam Car Shampoo Safe for Wheels, Paint & Trim

Product Information

Don’t assume that once your wheels look clean, then the job’s done, Autoglym recommends adding a Tyre Dressing to completely transform the sidewalls of your tyres.

This is Autoglym's heavy duty pre-cleaner, and it doesn’t take much time with it to see why it already has an impressive reputation. In terms of ease of use and outright cleaning power alone, it's hard to choose between this and the pricier Bilt-Hamber's Touch-Less. The Polar Blast's greater dilution ratio offsets its smaller bottle, so you’ll get a good number of washes from it. It doesn’t smell too great, though, with a definite chemical aroma. There is no benefit to building layers of Polar Seal. We would only recommend reapplication once water beading has ceased. We certainly do not recommend application more than once a month.When giving your car a good wash, we fully recommend the Autoglym Polar Series. These products have been specially designed to use charge interaction to boost the effectiveness of their pH-neutral chemical cleaning agents. Most cars have a negative charge, so when the positively charged Autoglym products are applied, the charge interaction attracts dirt into the formula, making it much easier to wash away. It can perform a touchless clean on very lightly soiled and well maintained vehicles. However, for stubborn dirt and TFR we advise agitation with a wash mitt or sponge.

As you might expect with any Autoglym product, it did exactly what it said on the bottle. If you’re looking for a magic potion that will leave your car looking like it belongs on a dealership forecourt after one spray, mitt and rinse then you’re in the wrong place. But as far as performing like any other stage 2 washing agent, the Autoglym Polar Wash didn’t put a foot wrong. Having sprayed on the foam, leave it for the recommended length, usually about five to 10 minutes. Following this, you rinse it all off. Now it’s shampooing time. Does my snow foam gun matter? Yes, it is a high foaming product that allows the user to see where they have agitated the product to minimise chances of ‘missing a bit’. However, although this product has greater cleaning power, its foam does not have the density and cling time of our pre-wash product - Polar Blast. Polar Seal contains silicones, which in some cases, can create smears once wiper blades are used on the windscreen. We would recommend cleaning your windscreen after you have applied Polar Seal to the rest of your car as part of your car cleaning process.Polar Wash has been designed specifically for use through a pressure washer. We would recommend our other shampoos for hand washing methods.

Polar Blast is a Pre-Wash product that aids the removal of heavy dirt from the paintwork. It gently loosens and softens contaminants and does not require agitation. Polar Wash is the next stage of the process – the shampoo. It has more cleaning power that can get to work on removing traffic film once Polar Blast has removed the larger particles of contamination. It is important that Polar Seal does not dry on to the surface of the vehicle. Once the car has been coated it should be rinsed immediately. Polar Wash is a safe and effective cleaner applied after using Polar Blast to remove excess dirt, traffic film and grime from your paintwork. Wax on, wax off! Don’t let all your hard work go to waste. Adding a layer of wax or polish to your car will help to fend off any nasties that could land on the paint, whilst protecting your car from UV rays. Use the Autoglym Polar Seal to give your car a protective, hydrophobic coating that will leave it looking glossy in no time. The Autoglym Polar Kit contains 3 products used via a pressure washer to maintain & protect your vehicle.

Use Autoglym’s Clean Wheels to shift those stubborn baked-on deposits! Made to be tough on grime yet kind on the alloy itself, Clean Wheels is safe to use on lacquered alloys, painted and plastic wheel trims.
