Car shampoo 

Put car shampoo into a bucket, allow water to be fed with a powerful jet or stir thoroughly.

Using the resultant foam solution wash the car with a soft brush if possible (sponges and cloths are less suitable for the outer skin). Rinse off with clean water and chamois.

IMPORTANT Do not wash the car in direct sunlight or when the engine hood is hot.

Insect remover 

After washing the car, apply insect remover to the surface to be cleaned using a soft sponge. Leave to act for a short time, rub gently and rinse off with plenty of water.

Tar remover 

Remove dust and dirt from the paintwork (wash the affected area or areas).

Soak a soft cloth with tar remover, use this to remove the tar spots and wipe over with a clean cloth.

Then treat the cleaned area with polish and gloss preserver.
