A pre-wash extraordinaire. Our award winning Polar Blast offers a touch-free, rich snow foam experience that elevates your car washing session, and paintwork finish.

Our Polar Blast may appear as though you’re covering your car with a blanket of snow. But under the surface, this thick, high-cling foam is gently loosening dirt and heavy soiling, all without damaging your precious paintwork or requiring any physical contact. All to prepare your car for its much-loved Polar Wash.

Although you could go stronger, our team of testers recommend you dilute one-part Polar Blast to five-parts water you achieve a foam that works wonders in just three minutes. Which means one bottle will go a long way.

To create optimum foam levels, we recommend using our foam gun with your pressure washer to apply Polar Blast. Not only will you get a greater blanket of foam, it activates superior clinging capabilities for a better clean.

pH-neutral and safe to use on all areas of your car, this touchless pre-wash offers impressive foam theatre that doesn’t remove previously applied waxes or sealants. Saving you time and money, with effortless car washing after your very first application.

Product questions

What is Polar Blast?

Polar Blast is a snow foam that can be applied using a pressure washer or foam gun. It covers the vehicle in a rich blanket of foam that clings to paintwork to gently loosen dirt and heavy soiling prior to shampooing. This reduces the risk of scratches and swirl marks caused by a sponge or wash mitt moving over heavy contamination. Polar Blast can be used instead of a shampoo if the vehicle isn't heavily soiled, just ensure you rinse the vehicle with water first to remove the top layer of dirt.

Is Polar Blast pH Neutral?

Yes, it is pH neutral and will therefore not remove wax.

Do I use Polar Blast instead of shampoo?

Polar Blast has been primarily formulated as a new pre-wash product. By using it in advance of your regular Autoglym shampoo you will loosen heavy soiling and contaminants and begin to dissolve traffic film. This will significantly reduce the risk of contamination scratching your paintwork when you agitate the shampoo foam with a sponge or wash mitt.

We would only recommend its use in place of a shampoo if your paintwork has very light soiling. In these circumstances please ensure you rinse the vehicle first to remove any heavier contamination.

Polar Blast has been formulated to go through a pressure Washer and we would not recommend using from a bucket.

Should I agitate the foam generated by Polar Blast?

We would not recommend agitation as part of a pre-wash process. Allow the product to dwell on the paintwork for up to 10 minutes. This will allow Polar Blast to safely soften and loosen soiling, before rinsing with your pressure washer.

If your vehicle only has very light soiling and you are using in place of shampoo. Please rinse vehicle first before applying Polar Blast. You can either allow to dwell and rinse without agitation or agitate with a sponge or wash mitt prior to rinsing.

What is the recommended Dilution rate for Polar Blast?

This really is dependent on several factors including the level of foam you would like to achieve, the settings of your pressure washer and the hardness of water in your area.

In summary the product has been developed to work neat through to 1part Polar Blast to 10 parts water. We have been very happy with the product performance diluted at 1:5.

Pre dilute to make approx. ½ litre of diluted solution and fill the bottle of your foam gun.

Can I use this product in a bucket and not a pressure Washer?

Polar Blast has been designed and formulated for use through a foam gun attached to a pressure washer. We do not recommend using this product in a bucket. 

Q: Can I use this on matt/satin paint?
A: Yes
