CarLab Poliwash Light is a rinse-free car shampoo in a 5-litre size that cleans and protects the paintwork without the need for pressure-washer water or subsequent rinsing. The formula is based on a hybrid of protective polymers and surfactants that encapsulate dirt before it can scratch the surface.
The product is designed for rinse-free washing at home, in the garage or for mobile detailing, including during the winter months when water access is limited. The neutral pH level also makes it suitable for surfaces with Ceramic Coating, wax or Sealant.
More options for paint washing can be found via car shampoo for professional vehicle care.
What sets CarLab Poliwash Light apart?
CarLab Poliwash Light combines strong cleaning power with a foam-free approach, giving the user full control over the wash process from start to finish. The dirt-encapsulation technology lifts away road grime and particles without rubbing them against the paintwork, reducing the risk of micro-scratches.
The slip properties are designed to make application with a Microfibre towel or Microfibre mitt easier, while the product also rinses easily out of the material after use. The fragrance composition is designed to linger in the cabin long after the work is finished.
Where CarLab Poliwash Light performs best
- Washing vehicles at home, under cover or in a garage without a water connection
- Mobile detailing, including work during the winter months
- Delicate surfaces with an existing Coating, wax or Quick Detailer

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does CarLab Poliwash Light work on vehicles with delicate coatings or wax?
Yes, CarLab Poliwash Light is safe to use on vehicles with Ceramic Coating, Sealant or wax thanks to its neutral pH formula and gentle dirt-encapsulation technology. However, the product is intended for maintenance washing and does not replace thorough degreasing ahead of a new coating application.
How should CarLab Poliwash Light be stored, and how long does a 5-litre pack last?
CarLab Poliwash Light should be stored in a cool, dark place in its original packaging, protected from direct sunlight and frost. Thanks to the concentrated formula, a 5-litre pack lasts for many washes, making it economical for both private use and for reconditioning workshops with high turnover.
What sets CarLab Poliwash Light apart from traditional shampoo used with a pressure washer?
Unlike traditional car shampoo, which requires pressure-washer water and rinsing, CarLab Poliwash Light uses a rinse-free method in which dirt is encapsulated and wiped away with a Microfibre towel. This makes the product from CarLab suitable for environments without a water connection, such as mobile detailing or a garage. More products in the range can be found via CarLab detailing products.
