Car Care Products for Washing, Detailing & Protection

Keep your vehicle looking its best with Salty Captain’s range of premium car care products. From regular maintenance washes to deep cleaning, paint protection and interior detailing, our automotive range is designed to make professional-quality car care easier at home.

Whether you’re washing your daily driver, detailing a weekend car or maintaining a ceramic-coated vehicle, you’ll find everything you need to clean, protect and finish every surface.

Car Wash Detergents

Start with a safe, effective wash using our pH-neutral Car Wash Detergent. The high-foaming formula lifts dirt, road grime and contaminants while providing excellent lubrication to help reduce swirl marks during contact washing.

For tougher cleaning jobs, our 4WD & RV Wash Detergent provides stronger alkaline cleaning power for stubborn grime, bugs and road contamination.

Foam Cannons & Wash Accessories

Create thick, even foam coverage with the Big Loads Foam Cannon or Big Loads Pro High Pressure Foam Cannon. Pair them with your preferred Salty Captain detergent to loosen contamination before contact washing.

Complete your setup with premium wash mitts, the Wooly Wash Pillow, Bucket Dirt Trap and microfibre towels for safer washing and drying.

Car Interior Cleaning

Keep your cabin fresh with Superior Interior Cleaner, formulated for plastics, vinyl, rubber, fabric, carpet, sealed leather and interior trim.

For more demanding cleaning tasks, All Purpose Cleaner helps break down grease, stains, spills and everyday grime across a wide range of washable interior and exterior surfaces.

Wheels, Tyres & Heavy Cleaning

Remove stubborn brake dust and iron contamination with Wheel Wash Cleaner, then restore tyre sidewalls with Tyre Shine for a deep, glossy finish.

Grease Attack Citrus Degreaser provides professional-strength cleaning for engine bays, chassis, tools and other heavily contaminated areas.

Paint Decontamination & Detailing

Prepare your paint for polishing or protection with our Soft and Hard Clay Bars. Use the Soft Clay Bar for regular maintenance and lighter contamination, or choose the Hard Clay Bar for stubborn bonded contamination such as overspray and fallout.

Finish your detail with Spit & Lick Spray Wax for instant gloss and protection, or Final Touch Ceramic Detailer to boost slickness, hydrophobic performance and existing ceramic coatings.

Glass Cleaning & Protection

Achieve crystal-clear visibility with our ammonia-free Glass Cleaner, suitable for automotive glass, mirrors and factory tinted windows.

For additional protection, Duck Off Window Water Repellent and our Nano-Tech Glass Protection Kit create hydrophobic glass surfaces that help rain bead and roll away while reducing dirt and grime build-up.

Explore the complete car care collection and build a cleaning routine that keeps your vehicle cleaner, glossier and better protected between every adventure.

Car cleaning product FAQs

What car cleaning products do I need to start?

A pH-neutral car wash, a wash mitt or pillow, a microfibre drying towel and a wheel cleaner cover a proper basic wash. Add spray wax or a ceramic detailer for protection. Our Car Wash Starter Kit has the essentials in one box.

What does pH-neutral car wash mean?

It's balanced between acidic and alkaline, so it lifts dirt without stripping wax, sealant or ceramic coatings, or drying out rubber and plastic trim. Save stronger alkaline washes for heavy 4WD grime.

What should I use on tyres and wheels?

Use Wheel Wash on rims for brake dust and iron fallout, then Tyre Shine on the sidewalls for a deep, glossy finish.

Are your glass cleaners safe on tinted windows?

Yes. Our Glass Cleaner is ammonia-free and safe on factory tint.

Are Salty Captain products made in Australia?

Our wash and detailing chemicals are made in Australia. Our pressure washers, foam guns, brushes and microfibre towels are made overseas.
