Frequently Asked Questions

Are PAINTSEAL products safe for all vehicles?

Yes. All PAINTSEAL cleaners and protectants are formulated to be safe on caravans, motorhomes, RVs, cars, and commercial vehicles when used as directed. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if your surface has an unusual or delicate finish.

Do I need to dilute these products before use?

No. Most PAINTSEAL products (such as Tar & Glue Remover, Bird Dropping Remover, GlassClean, and Ceramic Detailer) are ready-to-use. The Ceramic Shampoo is diluted automatically when mixed with water in your wash bucket, but no extra dilution is needed before use.

Can I use these products on plastic trims and rubber seals?

Yes. Products like Tar & Glue Remover, Bird Dropping Remover, and GlassClean are safe for painted surfaces, plastics, and trims. The Alloy Wheel Cleaner is designed specifically for metal wheels but is safe for most clear-coated alloys. Avoid prolonged contact with untreated raw metals or delicate finishes.

Are PAINTSEAL products environmentally friendly?

The formulations are made to be effective yet safe for regular use. They are solvent-based only where necessary (e.g., Tar & Glue Remover) and should be used responsibly, avoiding run-off into waterways. Dispose of containers according to local regulations.

Will these products damage waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings already on my vehicle?

• Ceramic Shampoo and Ceramic Detailer are designed to enhance existing wax or ceramic layers.
• Tar & Glue Remover and Alloy Wheel Cleaner may reduce the effectiveness of wax or protective coatings on treated areas, so reapply a wax or detailer afterward if needed.
• Bird Dropping Remover and GlassClean are safe to use without affecting protection.

 How often should I use PAINTSEAL products?

• Ceramic Shampoo: Every wash (weekly/fortnightly depending on use).
• Ceramic Detailer: After washes or as a quick shine booster.
• Tar & Glue Remover / Bird Dropping Remover: As needed, only on affected spots.
• GlassClean: Whenever windows or windscreens need a smear-free finish.
• Alloy Wheel Cleaner: During each wash if brake dust is present.

Are the bottles reusable or recyclable?

Yes. PAINTSEAL containers are recyclable. Rinse empty bottles before recycling in accordance with local guidelines.

Do the products have a shelf life?

For best results, use within 2 years of purchase. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing conditions.
