Step 1 of 6 in our wash series. A proper wash starts before the shampoo. In this first part we show how Hyper removes tar, oil, asphalt spots and other road grime, how long to let it work, and how to rinse it off. The series then takes you through alkaline degreasing, wheels, shampoo, quick coat and tyre shine, one step at a time.
Six steps to a glossy car
Step by step
Work from the dirtiest to the finishing touches. Each step has a short video, in Swedish.
Step 1 of 6
Cold degreaser: Hyper
Removes tar, oil, asphalt spots and other petroleum-based dirt. Let it work for a few minutes, then rinse with a pressure washer. Don’t use it in direct sunlight.
Step 2 of 6
Alkaline degreaser: Avaton
Removes insects, pollen and traffic film. Spray it over the whole car, but not on glass or hot surfaces. Let it work, then rinse. Dilute it to suit how dirty the car is.
Step 3 of 6
Wheels and iron fallout: Atom Star
Spray it on the wheels and the lower parts of the body. Wait until it turns purple, which means it has dissolved the dirt, then rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer.
Step 4 of 6
Shampoo: Omnia Gloss
Use a bucket or foam lance and cover the whole car in foam. Wash from the top down with a wash mitt, rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfibre towel to avoid water spots.
Step 5 of 6
Gloss and protection: Leggera
Spray it on a wet or dry car and rinse straight away with water, which activates the protection. It gives runoff, gloss and short-term protection.
Step 6 of 6
Tyres and trim: Quattro
On a clean, dry surface, spray Quattro onto the tyre or an applicator pad and spread it evenly. For a satin finish, wipe it with a microfibre cloth.
