What is Selleys Polyglaze, and which products do you need?
Polyglaze is the Selleys car care range. Selleys groups it around four areas of the car: wash and wax, the windscreen, the wheels, and the interior. Those four headings are the fastest way to navigate the range, because almost every product belongs clearly to one of them.
The range also includes the physical tools — cloths, a mitt, a drying towel and a wheel brush — rather than only the chemicals. If you are starting from nothing, the exterior kit bundles a set of products together.
How to choose
Washing and shining the paintwork
Three products cover the bodywork, and they differ in how much work they ask of you.
- Polyglaze Wash & Wax cuts through dirt and road grime, and cleans and shines in one step for a spotless, streak free finish. One step is the point — you are not washing and then waxing separately.
- Polyglaze Heavy Duty Wash & Wax Hose On also cuts through dirt and road grime, and its formula is for cars, trucks, trailers, caravans, jet skis, boats, bikes and more. If the vehicle is large or has been sitting outside for a season, this is the version scaled for it.
- Polyglaze Liquid Polish gives an instant shine and a long lasting finish with no hard rubbing or buffing required. The method is simply apply, allow to dry, and wipe off.
- Polyglaze Spray Wax gives a long lasting finish and protection, and is an easy way to protect paintwork from harsh environmental elements.
Glass and visibility
Polyglaze Glass Cleaner gives interior and exterior windows and mirrors a lasting crystal clear finish. Polyglaze Windscreen Additive goes into the washer bottle rather than onto the glass: it removes dirt and road grime to improve visibility, and the formulation also reduces smears and streaking.
Wheels and tyres
Polyglaze Wheel Cleaner is suitable for all wheel types and removes brake dust, road grime and dirt. The application is straightforward: spray on, wipe and hose off. Polyglaze Universal Wheel Brush is designed to reach into tight spaces for a more thorough clean, which is where brake dust actually accumulates. Polyglaze Tyre Shine is a spray-on product that gives tyres a long lasting wet look shine.
Interior
Polyglaze Interior Protectant cleans, shines and protects the dash and trim, is suitable for vinyl, leather and plastic, and does not leave an oily residue. Polyglaze Auto Protectant Wipes are 100% plastic free wipes that protect surfaces from UV rays, and are safe to use on vinyl, rubber, tech screens and most plastics. The wipes are the ones to reach for around a screen — that is a surface most interior sprays are not rated for.
The tools
- Polyglaze Microfibre Cloth — a versatile cloth for washing, polishing and buffing a wide range of surfaces.
- Polyglaze Plush Pile Mitt — designed to clean gently while trapping dirt deep within the fibres to help prevent damage. That is the mechanism that matters when washing paint: grit held away from the surface cannot scratch it.
- Polyglaze Drying Towel — designed to dry large panels quickly while helping reduce water spots and streaks.
