Classic and custom vehicles demand special treatment to keep them looking great, and today’s technology meets yesterday’s rides with two unique car care products from Prolong Super Lubricants that work anywhere, anytime. Prolong, known for its engine, transmission and fuel system protection products, developed Waterless Wash & Shine and Super Protectant to provide owners with a unique way to clean and treat the exterior and interior of their vehicles. Whether you’re displaying your pride and joy at a car show or just back from a drive, these Prolong appearance products are a safe and easy way to not only get a great look, but also to protect the investment you’ve made in your vehicle’s finish.
Although the traditional soap-and-water treatment has been a tried-and-true practice for cleaning a car or truck, this process can actually create problems for a vehicle’s finish. Some of the dirt and debris that you want to remove is ground into the paint with every swipe of the sponge, mitt or brush. That’s why many cars have a slight swirl or “spider web” effect to their finish, and each standard wash contributes more of these microscopic scuffs, reducing the shine even though the vehicle looks clean. The surface may eventually feel slightly rough to the touch due to contaminants embedded into these scuffs.
Whether your vehicle sports a basecoat/clearcoat or enamel finish, a smooth and protected painted surface will have a better shine while being more resistant to contaminants and sun damage. With this in mind, Prolong created Waterless Wash & Shine using advanced technology that’s actually better than using soap and water for daily washing of light to moderate levels of soiling. Even better, it requires no buckets, hoses, sponge or chamois; no rinsing or drying; no mess to clean up, and best of all, no water. This is important when at a show, track or other event where water might not be available. In fact, with current drought conditions in many parts of the U.S., water might not be available at all for washing your car.
Even car enthusiasts with expensive paint jobs trust Prolong to give their vehicles a just-washed appearance on the car show circuit, and many choose to stash it in the trunk for quick and easy touch-ups.
At a recent car show, Tom Shorett of San Bernardino, California gave his ’33 Ford Roadster a quick once-over and was pleased with the results. Shorett noted, “I like to spray Waterless Wash & Shine on a towel and use it as a dust cloth, then wipe/buff it to a great finish. The Super Protectant makes the tires and running boards look like new.”
While the concept of just using a spray and a towel to clean your vehicle might seem too simple, Prolong’s unique citrus-based formula with special lubricating agents actually lifts dirt from the surface while dissolving it. Particles that aren’t completely dissolved are encapsulated by the lubricating agents, forming a barrier between the dirt and the car’s finish. Although soap can be fairly effective at handling dirt, it doesn’t do much for the tougher substances that vehicles encounter every day. From road grime to tar, tree sap, bird droppings and swarms of bugs, non-toxic Waterless Wash & Shine safely attacks and removes contaminants with little to no effort.
The finishing touch for great-looking rubber trim, tires, plastic, leather and vinyl surfaces comes from Prolong’s Super Protectant. Used in conjunction with Waterless Wash & Shine, you can clean and detail the entire vehicle with only two products. Super Protectant is water-resistant and blocks out the elements for a durable shine and long-lasting protection. The unique formula allows you to dial the shine up or down, depending on how much you wipe.
