One would expect a CAR review on products from a brand called Greased Lightning to begin with (and contain throughout) many references to the song from the infamous musical. But I am going to either dash your hopes or make your day by instead stating that this report contains no such references. Partly because Danny Zuko didn't mention car cleaning in any of the verses, but mostly because it'd make for insufferable writing and reading.

This depends on how many microfibre towels you use in the washing process. While it’s true you’ll use way less water than a traditional car wash, you’ll go through a load of towels as you wipe away residue. These towels will need washing, and you’ll more than likely use a washing machine for this task. So, no matter what, you’ll be using some water to clean your car. How well does it work? While we do really like the one-litre bottles, which are larger than what you’ll find elsewhere, the triggers could be more ergonomic. Waterless car wash makes use of stronger cleaning agents than car shampoos because the entire cleaning process is condensed into one step, and there’s no pressurised water to remove dirt. They’ll make use of detergents to break down dirt and make it easier to be wiped away.

We were excited to try this, curious to see if it cleaned as well as the No-H2O waterless wash we’d previously tested, while mercifully being more economical. Instead, pay attention convenience seekers because Greased Lightning aims its products squarely at you. Its flagship product, Showroom Shine, is a waterless car wash that is meant to be fast and effective, compared to the traditional method involving car shampoo, a sponge, and your full car cleaning Spotify playlist.

The only caveat we have with that recommendation is that if you've got wheels with an intricate spoke design, you'll probably want to pair the World Class Wheels with a detailing brush that can reach into the tighter areas. Bodywork and glass Although you’ll want the outside of your car looking great, it’s just as important to keep your car interior clean. If you’re wondering about the best way to clean your car interior, at Halfords we’ve made it simple. We’ve got a variety of interior car cleaning products from leather cleaner to upholstery products, as well as dashboard and glass cleaning. Before using the Showroom Shine, we applied the Bug Buster to some areas of the bodywork to get rid of the stubborn spots and much that had been glued to the Honda for some time. Recommended advice from Greased Lightning was that for the tougher debris, let the Bug Buster sit for a short while before wiping off. We tried it on the Honda's light gathering of bugs and sap. It worked very nicely. Each bottle cleans approximately 8-10 family cars to a high shine, getting rid of dust, dirt and tar spots, leaving a layer of protection with no streaks or smearing.Different formulas have different ingredients. However, they all are relatively versatile and very well able to work with different surfaces, including but not limited to painted steel, fiberglass, metal, regular glass, clear plastic, etc. Consequently, you will not find Greased Lightning products in stores such as Halfords, but rather your local nursery or garden centre (or online). Such is this insistence by the manufacturer that Greased Lightning products are a lifestyle choice, you expect them to carry a slogan along the lines of 'Greased Lightning: It's a way of life'. It’s difficult to underestimate the importance of water when it comes to car cleaning. But what if there’s a hosepipe ban, or you simply don’t have access to a tap and running water? It’s here where the best waterless car wash makes so much sense. We’ve all been guilty of neglecting our car cleaning duties, but with the UK’s unpredictable weather and muddy roads, it’s essential to wash your car regularly. A clean car doesn’t just look better, it can protect it from the elements and increase its potential resale value.
