After all the snow on the road we’re now left with lots of dirty grit and salt everywhere. If you’ve been doing a lot of travelling around visiting Antique Fairs or Auction houses then your car or van will no doubt being showing the signs of it all!
So, if you missed the last competition on SimpleMotoring.co.uk don’t miss this one – their current competition is for one of 5 bottles of Mantis Instant Shine waterless car cleaner. It’s even more perfect for this time of year as NO water is required to wash your car!
CLICK HERE – To enter the competition to WIN a bottle of WATERLESS CAR CLEANER
JML’s Mantis Instant shine can be used to wash your vehicle with NO water meaning you don’t have to bother with a bucket and car shampoo, so your hands don’t even get wet – bonus! It can be used over most parts of your vehicle and appears to work as well as normal water and car shampoo – check out the review of it here.
If you do a lot of driving around to Antique Fairs or to Auction houses then this might be just the thing you’re after – especially given the current cold weather!
You might find that with all the gritting that’s been going on on the roads, combined with the rain and general winter dirt everywhere that your car gets absolutely filthy in no time at all. The problem you have is when it’s so cold and temperatures are below freezing washing it with water isn’t possible.
That’s where Onedrywash is perfect. Onedrywash is a waterless car cleaning product that allows you to wash your entire car – including paintwork, chrome, wheels, glass and even plastic trim – without using any water!
