FAQ

Q: Do I need a pressure washer to use this kit?

A: No. The kit includes the Captain's Musket, which connects to any standard garden hose and produces great foaming action.

Q: What’s the difference between the Car and 4WD kits?

A: The only difference is the wash detergent. The 4WD kit includes a stronger, off-road formulated wash that’s ideal for mud and heavy grime. The Car kit includes a pH neutral detergent ideal for everyday use and delicate finishes.

Q: How do I use Drip Dry?

A: After washing your vehicle, load Drip Dry into the foam gun, spray it on, and immediately rinse off. Do not let it dry on the surface. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or to hot panels.

Q: Is Final Touch a wax?

A: No. Final Touch is a quick detail spray designed to enhance shine and remove light dust or smudges. It’s the last step after your wash and dry.

Q: How long does the Drip Dry hydrophobic effect last?

A: Typically up to 4 weeks, depending on weather, driving conditions, and how often you wash your vehicle.

    Salty captain more like sparkly legend !

    I bought the 4wd wash & drip dry bundle and honestly I think my car whispered "thank you" mid scrub ! The drip dry formula? Amazing... the towel that comes with the hand mit ? Pure witch craft ! Thinking of making an order just full of those towels, they took away the water faster than my patience disappears in school pick up traffic!

    My car looks so fresh, 10/10 would absolutely buy again !!

    A larger truck

    I do have a 4x4 but it’s still clean, so I decided to try Salty gear on this KW. Came up better than I thought, I used the soap with the gun (to a hose) then used the large brush, and the mitten I got with my bucket.

    Washed the wife’s car other day, and used the ceramic coat, next day dirty rain. Rinsed her car off and used micro fibre rag, came out well.

    Hydro bucket Review

    Love the hydro bucket and all the accessories it came with most of all the musket water gun, whilst using it I do blurt out a couple pirate shanties and one liners

    The wash glove is nice and soft and doesn’t hurt the paint

    The microfibre clothes are great aswell cleaning is so easy and doesn’t leave those little fibres of the cloth anywhere as others would
