A shampoo and a rinse get your car squeaky clean!
The first step after pulling up to a washing bay, is to roll up your sleeves and whip out the range of car care products from Shell. To clean the exterior, the products to use are the Premium Car Shampoo and the Wheel Cleaner. Shell's Premium Car Shampoo is a highly concentrated solution - just 100ml of it is good for 5 litres of water.
First, you'll want to apply the Wheel Cleaner on your dirty wheels, this will allow time for the solution to get into effect, 'grabbing' onto the dirt while you clean the car's body. We always start off with a pre-wash rinse to get rid of contaminants on the car's exterior. The next step is to lather on the solution that we have prepared with Shell's Premium Car Shampoo, while rubbing on the more stubborn dirt or grime to loosen them up. Though, you wouldn't have to spend too much effort, as we've found out this shampoo is very effective!
After this, all we have to do is to rinse everything, Shampoo and Wheel Cleaner, off the car to achieve a sparkling clean finish. And that's it, a quick and easy exterior wash for your car!

A few spritz and a wipe gives you speedy protection for your car
With the car thoroughly cleaned, you'll want to protect and seal the surface to make sure the shine lasts. And this is where Shell's Speed Wax comes in handy, unlike traditional wax which can be a hassle to apply, Speed Wax's application is easy and speedy!
All you need is to spray it onto the freshly washed car (you can also apply it to the headlights to make them extra shiny!), followed by wiping it off with a clean, fresh microfiber cloth to avoid micro scratches. Once done, the glossy surface is obvious, and if you were to sprinkle some water on it, you'll immediately notice the water-beading effect.
For the complete look of a fresh, new car, we need to make sure that nothing is neglected - including the tyres. Shell's Tyre Shine is packaged in the form of an aerosol can, making it extremely easy to use. Simply spray it onto the tyres' sidewalls and wipe it over after five to ten minutes, that's all!
