DeDetailing Kingdom Deep Black (DB)

Detailing Kingdom Deep Black (DB) – 500ml/
UV exposure and harsh chemicals can cause rubber and plastic parts such as tyres, weather strips, door seals and side mouldings to loose thier texture and colour. The rubber or a mixture of rubber and soft plastic in these parts can often become often brittle or hard, again due to the damage caused by UV exposure and harsh cleaning chemicals

Deep Black’s special formulation will not only enhance the looks and restore the colour of any rubber or plastic parts, it will also soften them if they have become stiff, leaving them not only looking great, but feeling great too.

Deep Black is very easy to use. Ensure the intended material you are going to detail is well cleaned and dry. Apply DB to a sponge applicator and work into the surface. For very faded and pale surfaces, repeat application may be necessary, allow DB to be completely absorbed before applying a second coat.

Detailing Kingdom Celebrate Spray -500ml

Conor Gill — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 15:19:07 +0000

Auto clear coat comes in different textures, thickness and content. DK discovered that many detailers experience challenges when dealing with soft clear coats or sticky paints as some named it. Some users will respond to this situation by spraying water onto the surface or the pad however by doing so the efficiency of the compound is reduced. Celebrate is different and will not comprimise the performance of the intended compound used. Celebrate is not only a temperature reducer but will also act as a lubricant to make polishing easier. Celebrate will also prolong the life of polishing pads.

Application:
After applying compound to the polishing pads, spray Celebrate at random onto the pad. Spraying 3 to 4 times would sufﬁce. Prime the surface before polishing to avoid the compound from splattering. Begin polishing the surface with low speed. You can continue to spray at random while polishing should surface becomes dry.

Mothers ULTIMATE Mag and Aluminium Polish ( SiO2 Infused)

Autopia — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 09:57:02 +0000

Mothers Ultimate Mag & Aluminium Polish meticulously cleans, restores and protects any metal surface to that next level, high-gloss shine and brilliance using ultra-fine, SiO2 infused nano-quartz abrasives.

This polish is safe for any uncoated metal, including aluminium, billet, stainless steel, nickel, brass, silver and copper. It provides incredible results when used by hand, or with any of the metal polishing tools from the Mothers PowerBall line.

Whether your vehicle has a lot of metal components or if it’s just the rims, maintaining it is crucial for preserving that glossy, clean and eye-catching finish. It also helps to protect the metal against weather and regular road damage, such as scratches and contaminants, which can lead to dulling oxidation.

This aluminium polish is widely used throughout body shops and among avid car enthusiasts for a reason – it works! Getting your aluminium rims and components mirror-shiny is simple with this in your arsenal.

Directions:

Using a soft, clean microfibre cloth, apply a little bit of polish onto the metal surface. Then begin by rubbing it back and forth, not in a circular motion. As you do this, you’ll notice the black grime and residue lifting onto your cloth. Keep rubbing until there’s no more residue coming off of the metal. Before the polish dries, fold the cloth and remove the polish while it’s still wet.

Having our premium quality aluminium polish in your car cleaning kit will help to brighten up your wheels and other polishable metal components with ease so you can keep your vehicle looking like new for longer.

Size: 5oz
