How to remove dirt, give a shiny finish to the paintwork and seal it at the same time? What sounds difficult is actually very easy with the products from our car care range.

Dieter Otto, expert for vehicle care

Every vehicle owner probably knows the feeling. A thorough cleaning of your car, motorcycle, bicycle or any other vehicle gives you a satisified feeling. The paintwork radiates a clean and shiny finish. But washing, drying, preserving and polishing takes time and effort, right? Well, not always! Spray on, wipe off and you’re done. The Quick Detailer makes it possible.

The name says it all: “Detailing is extremely intensive vehicle care down to the last detail,” says Dieter Otto. At LIQUI MOLY, he is the expert for vehicle care. But anyone who thinks that the Detailer has been developed exclusively for care enthusiasts is mistaken. “The Detailer is also aimed at pragmatists,” says Otto, “because a great result is achieved with comparatively little effort.”

The Detailer not only adds shine, it also tackles dirty jobs. Dust, paw marks and even bird droppings are effortlessly removed from cars by the spray. The extremely effective spray seals the paintwork for several weeks and adds a new shine. Water beads off treated surfaces and any new dust or dirt has a hard time spreading. This applies to smooth painted surfaces as well as smooth plastic surfaces, steel and alloy wheels.

The application of the Detailer is just as versatile as its effect: The agent works on both dry and wet surfaces. “If the vehicle is still wet with morning dew, simply spray it on the paint and wipe off with a cloth,” Otto advises. A decisive factor for the result is the type of cloth. “The best thing is to use a high-pile microfiber cloth with laser cut. It prevents streaks and can absorb a lot of moisture.” As the saying goes: Good things come in pairs. That’s why we also offer the Super Soft Microfiber Cloth in addition to the care product.

In addition, the Detailer is characterized by its UPS: it is extremely quick to use. Simply spray, wipe and you’re done. This gives you a sealed paintwork in no time at all.

Another tip from the care expert: “The pump spray bottle does not contain any flammable aerosols. So you can safely carry the Detailer in your vehicle, even in the summer.”

We have special Detailers in our range for the motorcycle, bicycle and marine sectors.

Long-term sealing of paintwork

Our Hard and Protective Wax is an ideal addition to the Quick Detailer. Like the Detailer, it offers an excellent sealing effect. However, the main difference lies in the sealing quality, in other words how long the seal lasts until it starts cracking. This is far longer in our Hard and Protective Wax, due to the purpose for which the product was designed. While the Quick Detailer is intended for daily, rapid use, the Hard and Protective Wax has a more prophylactic effect. What does this mean?

If you buy a new car, for example, then it makes sense to use the Hard and Protective Wax to immediately preserve the new condition of the paintwork. This is because the product adds a new protective layer to the paint. Any surface contact with dirt is then on the sealant and not on the original paintwork.

This is similar with a car that has been in service for several years. The paintwork is no longer in the best condition and is covered with minor scratches that have appeared over the years. This is why the paintwork has to be intensely polished with a machine or by hand. The result: a significantly enhanced vehicle. However, you don't want to repeat this intense polishing every year, but do want to keep the result. But how? By long-term sealing this stunning polished result. Our Hard and Protective Wax is just what you need.

It's always a matter of preserving the paintwork condition that you have maintained or purchased with a new vehicle. If stains appear on the paintwork now and then, use the Quick Detailer to restore your beautiful and sealed finish. You don't need to invest hours of work just: Spray on, wipe off and you’re done. At the same time, the Hard and Protective Wax adds another seal to the existing sealing coat. Both products complement each other perfectly.
