What Can You Use to Wash a Car at Home?
As the cost of living continues to climb, more and more people are looking to cut back on their expenses. This means that individuals are limiting the number of luxuries they pay for, and this includes professional car cleaning. Despite this, as many as three-quarters of women and a third of men have never washed their cars themselves, leaving many stumped about what to use to wash cars.
When thinking of what to use to clean cars, it can be tempting to simply fill a bucket with washing-up liquid and water and get scrubbing with a kitchen scourer; however, this could do more harm than good. Washing-up liquid is engineered to break down and remove grease, meaning it will strip any wax or paint sealant from surfaces on your car.
Thanks to Frogchem, you never have to wonder what to use when washing a car again! This is because we don’t just supply our products to automotive companies; we also provide them to car enthusiasts like you. So, discover what to wash your car with at home below.
Frogchem Car Shampoo and Wax
First up is Frogchem’s Shampoo and Wax, which not only cleans cars but leaves them with a shiny protective layer. When getting your car professionally valeted, they will carry out the shampooing and waxing processes separately; however, when washing your car at home, you can kill two birds with one stone.
Our Shampoo and Wax is designed to be diluted with water in a concentration of 1:5, meaning one five-litre container will last absolutely ages, allowing for many more car cleaning sessions in the future. Simply dilute the shampoo in a bucket of warm water, soak a wash mitt, and start scrubbing your car from the top down. After this, get a second bucket of water and a microfibre cloth to rinse away the soapy residue. Then, get a second microfibre cloth and dry the vehicle using back-and-forth motions to avoid streaks.
Frogchem Car Glass Cleaner – Green
Your car glass requires different attention to your car body; after all, it’s through these windows and mirrors that you need to navigate the road. As a result, the last thing you need is smears and soap marks inhibiting your view. That’s where our Glass Cleaner comes in, allowing you to achieve a streak-free finish.
Our Glass Cleaner is designed to be diluted with water in a concentration of 1:5, so a five-litre bottle will last you quite some time. Simply dilute the glass cleaner in a bucket of warm water and apply it to car glass using a microfibre cloth. Following this, rinse it with a separate microfibre cloth and clean water before getting a third microfibre cloth and buffing the surface dry.

Frogchem Car Interior Cleaner
It’s not just about the outside of the car; you also need to pay attention to the interior. After all, this is where you spend your time as a driver. The inside of a car has multiple different surface types, so you’d be forgiven for thinking you need a different cleaning solution for each. In response to this, though, Frogchem provides a generic Car Interior Cleaner that caters to all surfaces.
The cleaner is designed to be diluted in a 1:5 ratio with water, so you can rest assured that it will last you a while. All you have to do is combine it with warm water, soak a microfibre cloth in the solution, and get scrubbing at your car’s interior. Once the interior is covered, you can then get a bucket of water and a clean microfibre cloth to wash away the suds. Lastly, you can get a third microfibre cloth to dry the surfaces.
Microfibre Cloths
Microfibre cloths are the unsung heroes of the car cleaning world. They’re great for cleaning, rinsing, drying, buffing, and everything in between. Their gentle nature means that they cause no harm to a car’s bodywork, but they still get the job done. They’re so simple, yet so effective.
Wash Mitts
Sometimes, you need to scrub at a car, and a microfibre cloth simply isn’t up to the task. That’s where our wash mitts come in. These are perfect for lifting away stubborn stains that won’t let go of your car’s bodywork, all while ensuring that it receives no damage.
The Frogchem Car Cleaning Kit
Last but not least, if you don’t want the hassle of buying everything separately and in relatively large volumes, then Frogchem has got you covered with our Car Cleaning Kit! This comprises high-foam shampoo, black alloy wheel cleaner, interior cleaner, silicone gloss, long-life tyre shine, protection polish, de-icer, a wash mitt, drying leather, a polishing pad, a microfibre cloth, a pet brush, two air fresheners, and a bucket, too!
