Strip the heavy dirt before you ever touch the paint.

Coating-safe
Strong enough to lift grime, gentle enough to leave your ceramic coating untouched.

How to use Spark
Four steps to a contact-safe wash.
Spark works best on a cool car in the shade. Pressure wash off first, then go panel by panel.
01 Prep
Rinse loose dirt off
Pressure-wash the heaviest dust and dirt off the vehicle so Spark can work on what’s left.
02 Spray
Apply panel by panel
Trigger-spray Spark evenly across each panel. Work cool, shaded surfaces — never hot panels in direct sun.
03 Dwell
Let it work — 2 to 3 minutes
Watch traffic film start to lift and slide. Re-spray if the panel begins to dry out.
04 Rinse
Power-wash off
Blast away the dissolved grime with clean water before moving on to your contact wash with Ablution and a mitt.
Pro tips
- Always work cool, shaded panels — never bake Spark onto hot paint.
- Pair with a snow-foam pre-wash for the deepest possible clean.
- Dilute 5:1 with water for engine bays and door shuts.
- Safe over ceramic coatings, sealants and standard waxes.

FAQ
Common questions about Spark.
What is a pre-wash, and why do I need one?
A pre-wash chemically loosens road grime, salt and traffic film from your paintwork before you touch it with a mitt. That dramatically reduces the risk of dragging dirt across the clear coat and inflicting swirls during the contact wash.
Will Spark strip my wax or ceramic coating?
No. Spark is formulated to be coating-safe — it lifts dirt without breaking down the layer of wax, sealant or ceramic protection underneath.
Can I use it through a snow-foam lance?
Yes. Dilute 4–5:1 in your foam lance bottle and it produces a thick, citrus-scented foam that clings while it does its work. The dwell action stays effective.
How long should I let it dwell?
Typically 2–3 minutes. Don’t let it dry on the panel — re-spray if the surface starts to dry out. Spark works fastest on cool, shaded paint.
Can I use it on wheels and engine bays?
Yes — use neat / ready-to-use on heavily soiled wheels and door shuts. For engine bay cleaning, dilute 5:1 with water and avoid direct contact with electrics and connectors.
