Browse the AMSOIL car care range below for high-quality cleaning and detailing products designed to deliver excellent results while helping protect your vehicle's appearance.
Choosing the Right AMSOIL Car Care Products
Good vehicle detailing does not require using the same cleaner on every surface. Paint, glass, wheels, tyres, exterior trim and interior materials accumulate different types of contamination and benefit from products formulated for the particular job.
The AMSOIL Car Care range covers routine washing, waterless cleaning, quick detailing, exterior protection, wheel and tyre care, glass cleaning and interior detailing. Products can be used individually or combined into a straightforward vehicle-care routine.

Regular Washing — High-Foam Car Shampoo
AMSOIL High-Foam Car Shampoo is the starting point for a conventional exterior wash. Washing removes accumulated road film, dirt and other contamination before detailing or applying additional protection.
A dedicated automotive shampoo is preferable to household detergents because the objective is to remove contamination while being appropriate for automotive finishes and existing protection.
For vehicles exposed to regular road use, a proper wash also provides an opportunity to remove contamination before it is repeatedly rubbed across the paint during subsequent detailing.
Waterless Washing — Miracle Wash
AMSOIL Miracle Wash Waterless Wash & Wax provides an alternative when access to water is limited or a full conventional wash is unnecessary. It is particularly convenient for garage-kept vehicles, show cars, motorcycles and vehicles requiring light cleaning between conventional washes.
Waterless washing is best suited to light-to-moderate surface contamination. A vehicle covered in heavy dirt, mud or abrasive grit should be properly rinsed and washed rather than attempting to remove substantial contamination with a cloth.
Quick Detailer — For the Jobs Between Washes
AMSOIL Quick Detailer is designed for light cleaning and appearance maintenance rather than replacing a complete wash. It is useful for removing fingerprints, light dust and small areas of fresh contamination while restoring a freshly detailed appearance.
This makes quick detailer particularly useful after a drive, before a car show or whenever a clean vehicle needs minor attention without starting another complete wash process.
Exterior Ceramic Spray — Protection After Cleaning
AMSOIL Exterior Ceramic Spray adds a protective, hydrophobic layer to exterior surfaces while enhancing gloss and making subsequent cleaning easier.
The important distinction is that ceramic spray is primarily a protection product, not a substitute for properly cleaning a dirty vehicle. Applying protection to a clean surface gives the product the best opportunity to perform as intended.
A simple routine is therefore to clean first and protect second: wash the vehicle as required, dry the surface appropriately and then apply Exterior Ceramic Spray according to its directions.
Wheel and Tyre Care
Wheels and tyres operate in one of the dirtiest environments on a vehicle. Road grime, brake contamination and other residues make dedicated cleaning useful before applying finishing products.
AMSOIL Wheel + Tire Cleaner is the cleaning step, while AMSOIL Tire + Trim Protectant is the finishing and protection step. They perform different jobs and are designed to complement each other.
Clean wheels and tyres first and allow the appropriate surfaces to dry before applying protectant to tyres or compatible exterior trim.
Tyres and Exterior Trim
AMSOIL Tire + Trim Protectant can be used to restore and maintain the appearance of compatible exterior rubber, plastic and trim surfaces.
As with paint protection, preparation matters. Applying a protectant over dirty or heavily contaminated material can produce an uneven finish and reduces the benefit of detailing the surface in the first place.
For tyres, apply dressing to the appropriate exterior sidewall surfaces rather than braking or traction surfaces.
Automotive Glass
AMSOIL Glass Cleaner provides a dedicated product for automotive glass, where fingerprints, road film, interior haze and other contamination can affect both appearance and visibility.
Glass is often easiest to finish with a clean dedicated microfibre cloth rather than one previously used for waxes, tyre products or interior dressings. Residue transferred from another detailing product can be responsible for persistent streaking even after the glass itself has been cleaned.
Interior Detailing
AMSOIL Interior Detailer provides routine cleaning and detailing for compatible vehicle interior surfaces. It is available in Light Lemon and Scent Free versions, allowing the choice to be based on personal preference rather than requiring a different cleaning product.
The scent-free version is particularly useful for owners who prefer the vehicle's interior without an added fragrance, while Light Lemon provides a subtle scented alternative.
A Simple AMSOIL Car Care Routine
- Wash: Use High-Foam Car Shampoo for a conventional wash, or Miracle Wash where light contamination makes waterless cleaning appropriate.
- Clean the details: Use Wheel + Tire Cleaner on wheels and tyres and Glass Cleaner on automotive glass.
- Dry: Dry the vehicle using clean, suitable detailing towels before applying exterior protection.
- Protect: Apply Exterior Ceramic Spray to appropriate exterior surfaces and Tire + Trim Protectant where required.
- Interior: Use Interior Detailer for routine cabin cleaning and detailing.
- Maintain: Keep Quick Detailer available for fingerprints, light dust and minor touch-ups between washes.
Use the Right Product for the Surface
Modern vehicles combine clear-coated paint, glass, plastics, rubber, metals, fabrics and numerous specialised finishes. A product suitable for one surface should not automatically be assumed suitable for every other material on the vehicle.
Always follow the individual product directions and check compatibility before using a cleaner or protectant on an unfamiliar, aftermarket or particularly sensitive finish.
Build Your Car Care Kit
You do not need every detailing product to get started. For routine vehicle care, begin with the products that match how you actually maintain the vehicle.
For most daily-driven vehicles, High-Foam Car Shampoo, Glass Cleaner and an appropriate exterior protection product provide a useful foundation. Quick Detailer, wheel and tyre products and interior detailing products can then be added according to the vehicle and the level of detailing required.
For show cars, weekend vehicles and motorcycles that spend more time clean and undercover, Miracle Wash and Quick Detailer can become particularly useful for maintaining presentation without performing a complete wash every time the vehicle is used.
