With so many solutions now available to help drivers wash their cars without touching them, removing all risk of marring the paint, it may seem waterless cleaners have no place on the workshop shelf. Yet for those of us who can’t get mains water to where we wash, they are often the only way to get a car clean without using professional help. They are also great for cleaning inside a garage when the British weather prevents a more conventional wash outside. In such the same way as fellow test debutant Polished Pigs, Bear Car Care is a brand started by two enthusiasts. And, once again, you need to fiddle with the very similar trigger nozzle to get a fine spray – irritating because you have to find the sweet spot again after it is closed. But it’s worth the effort because Brilliance cleans well, if a touch behind out top two, plus that hybrid formula left a water repellent finish that was still working well after a couple of wet days’ driving. Welcome to MyMotorWorld.com, shop online now for an unbeatable range of car parts, car care and motoring accessories. Motor World, once the second largest chain of motoring stores in the UK, has been a fixture on the British High Street for over 25 years. The local nature of the stores and the friendly helpful staff was a must-visit destination for motorists, cyclists, and car enthusiasts. Using a clean microfibre cloth, we wiped the panel once to remove the dirt, then folded it and buffed the paintwork to a shine. You’ll need a few squirts to remove serious dirt, and the shine isn’t as good as that left by a dedicated polish. I’m a bit of a clean car saddo and have tried all kinds of products and methods to getting that showroom clean (I used to spend hours on a weekend) I was always skeptical of products like this bit with the weather turning cold I simply couldn’t be bothered to spend my usual time cleaning.

Powerful streak-free formula safe to use on all exterior surfaces, including paint, metal, plastic and glass So while they may not be part of a professional valeter’s kit they are popular, as can be seen from the wide choice available. Still, it’s effective, and could be just the thing to keep your car clean in the event of a hosepipe ban. Verdict With the first microfibre cloth, gently wipe the product over the surface, avoid rubbing and circular motions It may have a new name since we last tested it, but this is the Wash & Wax Anywhere that has topped our tests for some years. It was pushed hard by the new Shelby option in our Issue 1,639 mini test and it was close again here, but Meguiar’s hangs on to its crown for a fourth time. It goes on in a fine, wide spray with no spots, then, as we prefer, uses one cloth to remove grime, and another to buff. It topped the cleaning tests with its rival, plus was one of the best for beading.
