Car degreaser - When you really need to clean thoroughly

Car degreaser is a bit of a broad term, as it covers several different products, each with its own function. It is not just a powerful all-purpose cleaner (APC) that is being discussed here.

You will find both interior and exterior products in this category. Degreasers are typically characterized by removing traffic film, stubborn dirt, and limescale stains, so that your car has the cleanest paint.

So if you have limescale stains on your car, or you just need to clean it thoroughly, perhaps after a winter period, this is where you will find all the seriously powerful car care products.

When should I use a degreaser?

If you are going to refinish your car, this is the perfect time to use a degreaser. Whether it is a paint cleaner, new paint protection or a polish, the time just before this is perfect.

A degreaser has several purposes, which are as follows:

• Thorough cleaning of heavily soiled areas, such as door seams & engine compartment
• Thorough cleaning before using a claybar
• Thorough cleaning before using a polishing machine
• Thorough cleaning before treating with new paint protection

In short, if it needs to be really clean, a degreaser is the right product for the job.

APC (All Purpose Cleaner)

All Purpose Cleaner is the car care industry's answer to a Swiss Army knife, it can be used for an incredible number of purposes, from removing heavy dirt both inside and outside, as well as in the engine compartment. You can therefore, as the name suggests, use it on a lot of different surfaces.

You get an incredible amount of value for your money when you purchase an APC, but like so many other things, there are often products that are dedicated to the individual task that can do it better, but unfortunately they can only be used for a few things, whereas an APC can be used for almost everything.

If you want one of the best APCs that I have tested, thenAPC Green from Shiny Garage is a fantastic choice, it works great and is in concentrate so you don't have to go out and buy a new bottle shortly after, and it's REALLY cheap.

Citrus based degreaser

Although citrus-based degreasers are great for cleaning, they are often not as powerful as an APC. On the other hand, they are not as harsh on paint protection that your car may have, and can still clean a lot.

They are available in both ready-to-use and concentrated versions, and here the concentrate can be mixed to your desired strength. Use it as a pre-wash, in the engine compartment, door seals or to fight insects.

Limescale remover

Limescale is very harmful to your car's paint, and it is especially the water that we bring from the house to wash our car with. Regardless of whether you use a microfiber towel afterwards, it will be almost impossible to get all the water away, and if you are really unlucky, it will dry onto the paint.

When it dries on the paint, it leaves behind all the minerals that were in the water, and many of them are harmful, especially lime. Over time, it burns into the paint, and can even become so permanent that neither limescale remover nor polishing can remove them.

Therefore, it is incredibly important to remove them as quickly as possible with a limescale remover, such as Spot Off from Shiny Garage.
