Angelwax Ark Marine Ceramic Drywash is a detailing product originally designed for boats but reportedly effective on automotive surfaces, particularly fibreglass and composite materials common in sports cars and campers. Priced around £35.95, this dry wash offers a ceramic coating function alongside cleaning.
How It Works
The product skips the need for traditional washing with hoses or buckets. Instead, it utilizes a microfibre cloth application with a one-litre spray bottle of cleaning solution. The key difference lies in its inclusion of clay particles, which physically remove embedded dirt instead of just dissolving surface deposits. This is coupled with a ceramic coating that aims to provide weeks of water and dirt repellency.
Performance Testing
Testing on an MG’s fibreglass hardtop and a worn car bumper showed promising results. The product efficiently removed water spots and blemishes, with a mild polishing effect on the test surfaces. After application, there was a noticeable improvement in gloss and water-beading – effects that remained visible after multiple washes.
Verdict
While expensive, Angelwax Ark Marine Ceramic Drywash delivers on its promise of reviving and protecting aged fibreglass or composite parts. Its dual-action formula of clay cleaning and ceramic coating makes it a worthwhile investment for owners looking to maintain their vehicle’s exterior.
