What is Wash'n'Wax?
Wash'n'Wax was a product made famous in the UK by Turtlewax, but "wash and wax" is the name given to a category of products which are a two-in-one shampoo and wax.
You add it to your bucket of water as you would any other car shampoo, and wash your car as you would normally. However, the shampoo contains wax which will remain on your car, giving it a shine and providing light protection.
All the major car care brands produce a similar product, and they all do pretty much the same thing.
The life you get from this wax is not great, but it is assumed you will use the product again next time you clean your car in a week or two, so it doesn't need to be.
These products are highly recommended by us, not because of the level of protection, but because they are so easy. Even easier than spray on waxes, thus ensuring your car does get waxed often. In addition to this, they can be used over the top of a long life wax, polymer sealant and even a ceramic coating. Dry the car properly with a good quality microfibre towel, and you should get a streak free finish on paintwork, glass, chrome, plastic and even rubber.
And if you would still rather go fishing or watch football than fill up a bucket and wash your car at the weekend, not to worry. This is pretty much the exact same product that is pumped through automated car washes, or what you get when you hit the 'wax' button at the jet wash.
