Car care, additives and fluids

Fleet and workshop consumables, bought by the case rather than the bottle. The useful distinction is between what cleans and protects the car and what goes into the engine - they are judged on completely different things.

Buying guide

Car care, additives and fluids

Fleet and workshop consumables, bought by the case rather than the bottle. The useful distinction is between what cleans and protects the car and what goes into the engine - they are judged on completely different things.

Four families, four different decisions

What it is forHow to choose
Cleaning and valetingWashing, interior, glass, trim and tyre finishBy surface. A glass product and a trim product are not interchangeable
Fuel and oil additivesInjector and system cleaning, oil treatmentBy fuel type - petrol and diesel additives are different products
Fluids and lubricantsBrake fluid, coolant, greases, spraysBy the specification the vehicle demands, never by price
Protectants and polishPaint, plastic and rubber protectionBy finish, and by how long it has to last

Fluids are a specification, not a preference

Cleaning products are a matter of taste and finish. Fluids are not. Brake fluid and coolant are specified by the vehicle manufacturer, and that specification is the whole of the decision - the grade printed on the bottle has to match the grade in the handbook.

Two worth being strict about

Brake fluid absorbs water from the air and should come from a sealed container, not a part-used one. Coolant types should not be mixed - topping one up with another can gel and block a radiator.

What the Gulf climate changes

  • Interior plastics and dashboards take far more UV here than a product's home market assumes. A protectant with UV inhibitors earns its price.
  • Dust turns a dry wipe into a scratching tool. Wash before you polish, every time.
  • Water-repellent glass treatments do real work in fog season and after rain on dusty glass.
Questions

Straight answers.

Which car care brands do you stock?

Wynn's, STP, Armor All, Simoniz, Stegron, Rain-X, ENEOS and Gumout, among others. Every row names its brand and the manufacturer's own product name.

Do you supply car care products in bulk to workshops and fleets?

Yes. This range is stocked for workshops, fleet operators and retailers rather than for single bottles. Tell us the quantity and we will quote it.

Can I mix different types of coolant?

No. Coolant types use different chemistries, and mixing them can gel and block a radiator. Drain and refill with one type rather than topping up with another.

Do you deliver car care products across the UAE?

Yes, to all seven emirates.

Are the published car care prices final?

Car care is quoted rather than price-listed. Send the lines and the quantities — case and pallet rates differ from singles — and you get a written price in AED the same day, with 5% VAT shown separately.

Now the prices

Car Care

Washing and protecting the vehicle — shampoo, wax and polish, tyre shine and wheel cleaners, glass and rain repellent, wiper blades, interior and air-con, and the cloths to apply it with.

Other things worth knowing first

Choosing a water tank

Four different products sit under one heading, and they are not interchangeable. This is how to tell which one your job needs, what it will cost to run, and what the municipality expects of you once it is installed.

Specifying a diesel tank

Two decisions settle most diesel tank jobs: whether you need a bunded tank, and what your authority will actually ask for. The second one attracts more misinformation than any other product we sell, so it is answered plainly here.

Specifying site hoarding

The permit decides your height and your colour. Everything after that is a choice, and the one that costs most to get wrong is ordering panels without the blocks, posts and clamps that make them stand up.

Choosing perimeter fencing

Six products, one question: what is the fence actually for? A boundary that marks a line, a fence that slows a determined person down, and a barrier a consultant will certify are three different purchases at three different prices.

Choosing jersey barriers

Concrete or plastic is the whole decision, and it is decided by what the barrier is for rather than by price. One stops a vehicle. The other tells it where to go.

Buying a shipping container

Container condition is described with a set of trade terms that are precise but rarely explained to buyers. Knowing them is the difference between a fair price and a surprise.
