CarLab Poliwash Light is an advanced, polymer-based rinseless shampoo in concentrated form, developed for washing vehicles without rinsing off with water. The product is suitable for both painted surfaces with and without a protective Coating.

The Hybrid Rinseless Wash technology combines polymers with advanced surfactants that encapsulate and disperse dirt, helping to protect the paintwork against micro-scratches during the washing process. The formula provides high lubricity, effective dirt release from the wash mitt, and leaves no streaks or water spots after drying.

Poliwash Light is a concentrate and must always be used diluted. See dilution instructions below. See more CarLab products for car care.

What is CarLab Poliwash Light and why choose it?

CarLab Poliwash Light is a rinseless shampoo intended for situations where access to water is limited or where a quick, gentle wash is required without rinsing off. The product is well suited for vehicles protected with Coating, Sealant, or wax, thanks to its low surface tension and minimal sheeting effect that does not disturb hydrophobic protective layers.

Poliwash Light can also be used for cleaning glass, interior surfaces, and as a base for a Quick Detailer during maintenance between regular washes. The product is developed for professional use but is equally suited to detailing enthusiasts who demand high standards in paint care.

Where is this product suitable?

• Vehicles with Ceramic Coating, Sealant, or wax – rinseless washing without disturbing the protective layer
• Freshly painted vehicles prior to Coating application – cleaning after paint correction
• Indoor washing in a detailing studio or reconditioning workshop without access to a rinse bay
• Field washing and mobile detailing where water consumption needs to be minimised
• Cleaning of glass and interior surfaces at the appropriate dilution

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does CarLab Poliwash Light work for washing vehicles with Ceramic Coating?

Yes. CarLab Poliwash Light is developed to be gentle on hydrophobic protective layers such as Ceramic Coating, Sealant, and wax. The minimal sheeting effect and low surface tension of Poliwash Light help ensure that the hydrophobic layer is not disturbed during the washing process. The product is particularly recommended for vehicles with active protective layers.

What dilution ratios apply to CarLab Poliwash Light?

CarLab Poliwash Light is a concentrate and must always be used diluted. The dilution varies depending on the application: for rinseless washing, use 30 ml per 10 l warm water; for wheel washing, 10–20 ml per 1 l deionised water; for interior cleaning, 15–30 ml per 1 l deionised water; and as a Quick Detailer, 50 ml per 1 l deionised water. The product must not be used undiluted.

What distinguishes CarLab Poliwash Light from a conventional car shampoo?

Unlike conventional car shampoos, CarLab Poliwash Light is formulated for the rinseless method, meaning the vehicle is washed and dried without being rinsed off with water. The Hybrid Rinseless Wash technology in Poliwash Light encapsulates dirt using polymers and surfactants, helping to reduce the risk of micro-scratches. The product does not foam, leaves no streaks, and can be used at several different dilutions for washing bodywork, glass, and interior surfaces – something a standard shampoo is not designed for.
