What are you trying to do?

Car care is the one range where the size does not tell you anything — what matters is the job. Pick the job and we will show you every brand we hold for it, or search by name if you already know the product.

Outside the car

Everything you see before you open the door — paint, glass, wheels and tyres.

Inside the car

Cabin, dashboard and upholstery, and the cloths and sponges you use on them.

Workshop shelf

Consumables for the bench and the ramp rather than for a single vehicle.

Or start with a brand

Seventeen brands in this range. Pick one to see everything we stock from it.

Car care buying guide

What each kind of product actually does, the makers’ own dose rates, and the mistakes worth avoiding. Pick a job above to narrow this to the one you need.

Which tyres & wheels product do you need?

Wheel cleaner and tyre dressing do opposite jobs — one strips, one coats.

Wheel cleaner
Strips brake dust and road film off the rim. Acid-free types are the safe default for alloys.
Brake dust repellent
Applied to a clean wheel so the next week's dust does not bond to it.
Tyre gel
Wiped on with an applicator. The most control and the longest lasting finish.
Tyre foam or aerosol
Sprayed on and left. Quickest, and the usual choice at volume.
Tyre cleaner
Strips the brown bloom off a neglected sidewall before any dressing will hold.

Worth knowing. Keep dressing off the tread. It belongs on the sidewall only — on the tread it reduces grip, and any that flings onto the paint has to come off again.

Which wash, wax & paintwork product do you need?

Wash, polish and wax are three separate steps in a fixed order, and only one of them is abrasive.

Shampoo / car wash
Lifts dirt. Does nothing to the paint itself.
Polish, cutting compound, scratch and swirl remover
Mildly abrasive — it removes a little paint to level out a scratch. Use only where there is a mark to remove.
Wax and sealant
A protective layer over the paint. Applied last, and it adds nothing if the surface underneath is still marked.
Tar, insect and spot remover
A solvent for the specific deposit, used before washing.
Spray paint, primer and enamel
Refinishing rather than cleaning — engine enamel, VHT and acrylic colours.

Worth knowing. Waxing over swirl marks seals them in. If the paint is marked, the abrasive step comes first — and once removed, paint does not come back, so start with the mildest product that works.

Which glass & screenwash product do you need?

Three different products, and only one of them is a cleaner.

Glass cleaner
Removes film and smears from the inside and outside of the glass.
Rain repellent
A coating that makes water bead and blow off at speed. Applied to clean, dry glass.
Washer fluid additive / screenwash
Goes in the bottle, not on the glass. Concentrates are diluted; ready-to-use are not.
Anti-fog
Applied to the inside of the glass, against misting.

Worth knowing. A rain repellent will not stick to dirty glass. Clean first, dry, then coat — applied over film it streaks and is then harder to remove than it was to put on.

Which wiper blades product do you need?

A blade is chosen by length in inches, and the length is per side — most cars take two different sizes.

  • This range runs 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 inch, in single blades and in packs of five for workshops. — Lion Yard stock list

Worth knowing. Measure the blade already on the car, or check the driver and passenger sizes separately. They are very often not the same, and a pair bought as one size leaves a smear down one side.

Which interior & air-con product do you need?

Two quite different jobs sit here: dressing surfaces, and cleaning the air system.

Protectant / dashboard dressing
Coats vinyl, rubber and trim. UV protection matters more here than shine.
Upholstery and carpet cleaner
Foams into fabric to lift marks.
Leather cleaner and conditioner
For leather only — a vinyl dressing is not a substitute.
Air-con cleaner / sanitiser
An aerosol run through the ventilation system against the smell that has no obvious source.
Air freshener
Scent only. It covers a smell rather than removing its cause.

Worth knowing. A stale smell from the vents is bacterial growth in the evaporator, and an air freshener only masks it. That is what the air-con cleaners are for.

Which workshop chemicals product do you need?

Consumables for the bench and the ramp. Sold in trade packs rather than single retail units.

Brake and parts cleaner
A fast-drying solvent that flushes dust and oil off components and leaves no residue.
Contact cleaner
Safe on electrical connectors and switchgear.
Copper grease
Anti-seize for high-temperature threads and brake hardware.
White lithium and PTFE grease
General lubrication of hinges, linkages and slides.
Silicone spray
Lubricates and protects rubber and plastic without attacking it.
Starting fluid
Assists a cold or reluctant engine through the intake.

Worth knowing. Brake cleaner is a strong solvent. It is meant for metal — on painted panels, rubber or plastic trim it can lift the finish.

Why buy here

What you get with the price.

Stock on the ground

Same-day into Sharjah and the northern emirates for what is in the yard, one to three working days elsewhere.

New and refurbished

Both grades priced side by side on every line, so the budget decision is yours to make, not ours to steer.

Delivered and offloaded

Our own transport across all 7 Emirates, with crane or forklift offloading arranged and quoted before you commit.

Checked before it leaves

Refurbished units are cleaned, repaired and inspected in our own yard rather than shipped on as found.

Bulk and project supply

Send the full requirement rather than line by line — contractor and bulk rates are better than list.

Straight answers

If we cannot meet a specification or evidence a standard, we say so at enquiry stage rather than after the order.

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.
