PB Basic Wash Kit

Our Basic Wash Kit offers the most essential products you need to wash your car safely and effectively; simply use it in conjunction with the two bucket wash method and a pressure washer for best results. To minimise the risk of inflicting marring and fine scratches during the washing process we recommend using the ultra-soft Meguiar's Lambswool Wash Mitt to gently clean all bodywork and glass, while the harder wearing Meguiar's Microfibre Wash Mitt should be used for tougher tasks such as washing wheels and scrubbing the insides of wheel arches. Drying off after washing is perhaps the most risky part of the whole wash process. After trying out various methods and products, we have come to the conclusion that the only way to dry off safely is to use a microfibre drying towel in conjunction with the pat drying method. Our Luxury Drying Towel is highly absorbent and ultra-soft, which makes it ideal for this task. Finally, the choice of shampoo is also paramount to safe and effective washing. A car shampoo needs to be sufficiently slick to allow your wash mitt to glide over underlying surfaces and also needs to emulsify and encapsulate dirt particles so that they can be wiped away without causing any surface marring. A car shampoo should also be gentle enough not to strip or otherwise degrade existing layers of sealant or wax protection. We offer a number of high quality shampoos that fully meet these criteria; simply choose the option below that best suits your chosen paint protection system and budget.

Care instructions for wash mitts and drying towels:

(i) wash after each use in a washing machine at a low temperature (40 °C) using a non-biological liquid detergent (avoid soap powders and detergents containing bleach or fabric softeners); (ii) hang up and allow to dry naturally (avoid all sources of heat), and; (iii) store in a dry, dust-free environment whilst not in use (lidded plastic storage boxes are ideal in this respect).
