You look after your vehicle’s tyres, replacing them when needed. You keep your car’s interior clean and tidy with a vacuum and air freshener. But what about taking care of its exterior paint job? To keep that ‘sapphire blue’ city car looking like a little gem, or your ‘moon white’ 7-seater from going a little off-colour, take a look at Autoparts’ cleaning and maintenance products, from waxes, to sealants. And so much more.


Waxes
After washing a car with soap and water, whether that’s applied with a bucket and sponge or hosed off industrially with a pressure washer, applying a wax can give a car some much-needed shine to restore its outer glow. With that in mind, here is a selection of waxes you can find at Autoparts:

Shelby Waterless Water and Wax
Using the highest grade carnauba wax and free of any silicones, this wax combines with a washing function which over the lifetime of a bottle can save up to 2,000 litres of water.

Certainly a wax with better ecological credentials, it’s also quick to get to work, with the manufacturer promising it will have your car going from dirty to gleaming in 20 minutes. What’s more, it can be applied on a number of surfaces, including glass and plastics, as well as vehicle paintwork.

Wax on? With pleasure.

Car Gods – Wax of the Gods
Designed to get rid of the waste products typical of traffic fumes or tree sap that can pepper a parked car, Car Gods’ carnauba wax formula also features dispersed minerals which are there to enhance post-wax shine.

As well as giving your vehicle otherworldly shine, it will get rid of any surface blemishes to leave your vehicle with a natural, classy sheen you, returning your vehicle to pride of place on the open road.

Sealants - Poorboys world EX sealant

Poorboys in name only, this specially-formulated sealant will deliver stunning results, returning even the beigest vehicle to its richest colour.

Highly versatile, Poorboys’ sealant formula can even be applied in hot, sunny conditions, while many of its range rivals require cooler, shadier conditions to deliver strong shine results.

Another product employing carnauba to deliver a deep gloss, in combination with its high quality sealant, Poorboys’ is a shining example of fast and noticeable results, returning your vehicle to its former glory and leaving it shining.

Ceramics
These products help to protect your vehicle from the elements by giving it an additional outer coating and with that, extra protection.

Shelby full ceramic kit
Featuring an award-winning ceramic coating formula, you can really put it on thick with this comprehensive car care kit, which contains:

  • 100ml ceramic coating
  • 500ml ceramic-infused shampoo/snow foam
  • 500ml ceramic detailing spray
  • Two platinum quality Shelby microfibre cloths
  • Two small cotton applicator pads

A multi-faceted vehicle cleaning array, you can be confident of applying a top-quality coating to your prized four wheels, also with the inclusion of some gentle applicator pads and microfibre cloths, to ensure the work itself, and not just the result, is easy on the paintwork.

As for the product range, you can still be confident of the final result with Shelby, regardless of your vehicle’s pantone; while the brand’s signature colour is blue, the liquid will get to work and restore vibrant colour from ‘midnight black’ to ‘dragon green’ (yes, really).

While blue is the colour, gleaming is the aim, with Shelby.

 
Keep the paintwork gleaming on your vehicle with Autoparts’ selection of valeting products.
