Washing a car with dish soap or weak household cleaners often leaves streaks, no lubrication, and a dry finish that increases the risk of scratches. Many beginners also struggle with poor foam or shampoos that strip wax and sealants. This basic car shampoo solves these problems with a gentle, neutral-pH formula designed for safe hand washing. It creates thick, stable foam that helps loosen dirt after pre-wash and gives the wash mitt enough slip to glide over the paint. That means fewer swirl marks and easier cleaning. The concentrated formula lets you prepare a rich wash solution with only a small amount of product. For hobby users, it keeps the car clean without damaging waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings.

Why Choose This Car Shampoo for Everyday Washing?

The Swag BASIC line is made for users who want simplicity, safety, and good results without advanced detailing knowledge. The shampoo offers strong lubricity, neutral pH, and a pleasant fruity scent that makes washing more enjoyable. Because it is highly concentrated, you use only 35–50 ml per full wash bucket. This basic car shampoo works on all exterior surfaces: paint, glass, plastic, rubber, chrome, and aluminum. It leaves no streaks, no residue, and won’t dull existing protection. The thick foam helps separate dirt from the surface, reducing the chance of scratching. It is ideal for weekend washes, daily drivers, family cars, and anyone who wants a clean and shiny finish on a budget.

What Features, Dilution, and Safe-Use Tips Should You Know?

This basic car shampoo works best at a dilution of 1:300 (35–50 ml per 10 L of water). Always wash in the shade on a cool surface. Shake the bottle before use, mix the shampoo until foam forms, and wash using the two-bucket method. Rinse well after washing. For easier drying and added protection, pair it with SWAG BASIC HYDRO COAT. Store the product in a cool, dry place and avoid freezing.

Cleantle Industrial Degreaser – Because Grease Thinks It Runs the Place

Would you ever need Cleantle Industrial Degreaser ? You know how it goes: you wipe a greasy surface, it looks “grand enough”, and then your fingers tell you the truth. Oil, lubricant and industrial muck have one job — stay exactly where they are. And when your cleaner is too weak, you’re just giving the grime a guided tour instead of removing it. Too strong, and suddenly plastics, trims or even paint start to look worried. And once that oily film stays on the surface during washing, you’ll drag it around with anything you touch — pads, cloths, brushes — creating more marks than you started with.
What you actually need is control: something that cuts through grease without causing collateral damage.
That’s exactly where Cleantle Industrial Degreaser steps in.

What Makes Cleantle Industrial Degreaser Actually Worth Using?

This isn’t the kind of cleaner you use because “it was lying on the shelf”. This one was built for the jobs that usually make people swear: engine bays layered in oil, tractors coated in field history, trucks carrying half the motorway, wheel arches with their own ecosystem, or pads soaked in compound and polishes. And yes — when a car is so filthy that normal prewash cries, this degreaser can step in as a heavy-duty prewash too.
It uses organic solvents, not harsh petroleum ones, so it hits grime hard but stays safe for plastics and rubber. The dilution range — neat to 1:20 — gives you full control over cost and power. Add the strangely pleasant orange scent, and you’ve got a product that cleans like a brute but behaves like a gentleman.

Cleantle Citrus Foam Prewash

Cleantle Citrus Prewash Foam is one of the newest products from Cleantle. It is a very effective and at the same time safe product for pre-washing. You can also use it as a shampoo for washing a car. The product offers very good lubrication for your wash mitt. The pH of this product is 9 as a concentrate, therefore at the recommended dilution, the pH of this product is close to neutral. Citrus Prewash Foam does not contain harmful substances such as potassium and sodium hydrides and any other substances that may cause corrosion. Even though the product offers very good cleaning properties it is safe for coatings, sealants and waxes.

How to use Cleantle Citrus Foam?

When you use a snow foam lance, dilute the product 1:20 for light soiling, and 1:10 for heavily soiled surfaces.
Apply the product directly to the dirty car and leave for 3 to 5 minutes.
After this time, rinse the car well with a pressure washer
Do not apply Citrus prewash on a hot surface and do not allow it to dry.
If you want to use this product instead of shampoo, use 50ml of foam per 10l of water.
This product can also be used from a pump-up sprayer at a dilution of 1:10 – 1:20 depending on how dirty the car is.

Cleantle TFR PreWash2 – When Dirt Thinks It’s Winning

You wash your car, step back and it looks grand… for about five seconds. Then you get closer and it turns into the classic “good from far, far from good” moment. The truth is simple: if your prewash doesn’t lift the dirt, your wash mitt will — by dragging it across the paint like a free swirl-making service. That’s how even the most careful hand wash turns into accidental paint damage.

Use something too weak, and the grime stays. Use something too strong, and your wax or coating waves goodbye. And because every car in Ireland looks clean after a bit of rain, you won’t even notice the leftover muck until the scratches appear.

That’s why Cleantle TFR PreWash actually matters.

What Makes This Product Different From Regular Cleaners?

Most cleaners act like they’re on either extreme: either they do absolutely nothing or they strip your wax faster than Irish wind strips umbrellas. Cleantle TFR PreWash sits in the middle — the good middle. It’s pH neutral in its concentrate, so it doesn’t go after your wax, coating or trims like they owe it money. Yet it still deals with road film, muck and general Irish grime with zero hesitation.
It’s biodegradable, which is nice, because none of us want to feel guilty about washing wheels. And because it dilutes 1:10 to 1:20, you’re not burning through product every wash. Strong on dirt, gentle on protection, and surprisingly cost-effective — exactly the kind of sensible balance you want in a prewash when you wash cars more often than the Irish weather stays dry.

How Do I Use It Without Making a Mess of Things? 

Using Cleantle TFR PreWash is easier than pretending Ireland has summer. Just dilute it depending on how rough the car looks: 1:10 for “what happened here?” and 1:20 for normal grime. Spray it on a cool surface — paint, wheels, trims are all fair game. Give it a couple of minutes to work, but don’t let it dry; no cleaner behaves well when it dries.
Then rinse thoroughly with pressure and enjoy watching the dirt leave like it forgot to pay rent. Follow up with your standard hand wash — which will now be safer, faster and far less likely to create surprise swirl marks. Wear gloves, avoid direct sunlight, and that’s genuinely all there is to it. Simple, clean and effective.

And, of course, as with all products from Cleantle, the shampoo is free of harmful substances. So the product is safe for your skin, and it is fully biodegradable.

How to wash a car?

Even though washing a car seems very simple, it takes practice and knowledge. Of course, if you want to keep your vehicle in pristine condition. You should consider a few things to perform a safe and effective wash. One of them is the choice of chemicals for the wash—product for initial prewash and car shampoo. The second one is the method. Start from the initial prewash. This is the essential part of your wash. You need to remove the heavy dirt from your car effectively but safely. So depending on how dirty the car is and how often you wash it, pick a product that will manage the dirt.
If you have wax or sealant on your paint and wash your car weekly, Cleantle Citrus Foam will be ideal for the prewash. However, if your vehicle gets dirtier and you don’t wash it weekly or fornightly, regardless of whether it has protection, use the stronger product for this purpose. In this case, we recommend ADBL ALkaline Foam or Bilt Hamber Auto Foam. These two products have a PH of 12 as a concentrate, so when diluted, the ph drops to about 10 -11. They are not PH neutral but still relatively safe for protection on the car. This offers excellent cleaning power and a safe solution for your car surfaces. I would avoid using extremely strong detergents, for example, truck cleaners. They provide excellent cleaning power, but they are unsafe for your car.

How to do an effective initial prewash?

When your prewash is chosen according to the dirt, spray the product on the car with a snow foam lance or sprayer. Leave the product to dwell for at least 5 minutes. Then you can start to rinse off the car. Never use your power washer from a very close distance to the paint. But find the best distance that works well and is safe for the paint. It all depends on the power that your power washer offers. Rinse off the car slowly, starting from the bottom. If you start the initial prewash from the bottom, the water will not dilute the product on the vehicle. Also, you will have way better control over your work, as the foam will indicate to you which part of the car is already rinsed. Once the car is rinsed, you can start to wash your car with PH neutral car shampoo.
