What is the Polyglaze Exterior Car Care Kit, and what is in it?
The Polyglaze Exterior Car Care Kit is a complete exterior car care pack for washing and cleaning, put together so that one purchase covers a full outside wash rather than leaving you to buy each product separately. It contains Wash & Wax, Windscreen Additive, Wheel Cleaner and a sponge.
The point to understand before buying is that this is a bundle, not a new formulation. The products in it are also sold separately, so the kit makes sense when you are starting from nothing or buying it as a gift pack, and less sense when you already have two of the three and only need the third.
What is in the kit
- Polyglaze Wash & Wax — the wash concentrate
- Polyglaze Windscreen Additive — for the windscreen washer reservoir
- Polyglaze Wheel Cleaner — for wheels
- A sponge
Each of those has its own directions and its own limits, and they are worth reading on the individual product pages before you use them. The instructions below are the washing directions given on the kit page itself.
Where to use it
The stated application is car exterior surfaces. As the name says, this is an exterior kit — it contains nothing intended for the cabin.
How to wash the car with it
- Hose excess dirt off the vehicle. This is not an optional first step. Loose grit removed by water is grit that is not being dragged across the paint by a sponge, and it also means the wash solution is doing less work.
- Dilute approximately 30mL in 10L of water.
- Apply with the sponge, one section at a time.
- Hose off before the solution dries.
- Dry the vehicle with a chamois for best results.
Why "one section at a time" matters
Steps 3 and 4 belong together, and the reason is stated plainly in the product's own limitation: do not allow the detergent solution to dry on the surface. Washing one section and rinsing it before moving on is what keeps that from happening.
The failure mode is easy to picture. If you soap the whole car and then start rinsing, the first panel you washed has had several minutes of sun and airflow on it, and detergent that dries on paint leaves a film that then has to be washed off again. Working in sections means no part of the car is wet with solution for longer than it takes to rinse it.
The chamois at the end serves the same purpose from the other direction — clearing rinse water off the panel before it can dry in place.
Storage and handling
The kit's stated storage requirement is to protect it from freezing. Water-based car care products can separate if frozen, and the concentrate is the part that matters here. A garage shelf is fine; an unheated space that drops below freezing is not.
Safety information
This is a kit containing several separate products, so a single hazard classification does not describe it. Selleys publishes no safety data sheet for the item as sold.
Where a kit contains individual Selleys products, the classification that applies is the one on each component's own page and its own safety data sheet — check those individually rather than assuming the pack shares one profile. Where the product is a pre-moistened wipe, the hazard depends on the solution it carries.
