AURQR500 QUIKREFRESH 500ML

QuikRefresh is designed for use between regular maintenance washing to remove light traffic film, dust and rainfall contamination, refreshing that just washed look in as little as 15 minutes.  Dirt is effortlessly and safely removed using microemulsion technology, which suspends dirt away from the vehicle minimising any risk of scratches and swirls.  

Note: QuikRefresh has been designed for use with the Autoglym Instadry, for best results an Autoglym Instadry should be used to apply the product, alternative cloths will not give optimum results.

Features

• Wash anywhere with no hose.
• On contact with a surface, our unique blend of microemulsion chemistry and micelles, releases, lifts and suspends dirt particles so that they can be effortlessly and safely wiped away without damaging the surface.
• QUIKREFRESH can be used anywhere that facilities, space or access to water are limited with just a bucket and a suitable cloth.
• We highly recommend INSTADRY, for both its ability to lift suspended dirt as well as disperse it when wringing the cloth out, due to the unique, PVA-coated, microfibre construction.
• Experience is heightened with a distinct tropical, banana fragrance that remains, even while using it.
• Perfect for a variety of situations across all customers who care about their appearance, from inner-city dwellers with little or no access to a wash bay, to car enthusiasts who like to keep their car clean, especially during days-long festivals and meets, to the water-wise or those under water restrictions.

No hose needed. Unique, Microemulsion chemistry. Tropical, Banana fragrance.

All-new Autoglym QUIKREFRESH Autoglym is a rinseless wash solution that rapidly and effortlessly cleans to restore the perfect ‘just-washed’ look in as little as 15 minutes and without a hose in sight.

Autoglym chemists have created a unique blend of microemulsion technology and micelles to safely remove road grime without the need for rinsing, before or after. On contact with your car, the solution releases, lifts and suspends dirt particles so that they can be safely wiped away without damaging the surface.

All that’s needed to use QUIKREFRESH is a 10-litre bucket of water, an Autoglym INSTADRY Drying Cloth and as much (or little) space that your car takes up in the spot it’s parked. It also has a wonderful, tropical, banana-scented fragrance that makes washing your car way more joyful!

And, unlike traditional car wash solutions, QUIKREFRESH can be used in direct sunlight, so there’s no need to look for cover or put off washing until the sun goes down.

QUIKREFRESH is perfect for anyone who takes pride in the appearance of their car, and finds themselves unable to clean it at their time and place. Whether this is inner-city apartment dwellers with no car wash bay or hose, housing with only on street parking, or simply short on time. 

QUIKREFRESH is also fabulous for the car enthusiast who chases that just-washed look every time, and especially on those country car meets, where motels and motor inns lack hoses, or there’s high demand for them (thanks to your car meet buddies). QUIKREFRESH will have you back on the cruise in no time.

And if you’re simply water-wise, or under some form of water restriction that limits car washing, QUIKREFRESH is a great choice.

HOW TO USE:

1. Pour 50ml of QUIKREFRESH into a bucket and fill with 10L of water. If you find less water is needed for your situation, simply adjust the ratio to suit (200 parts water to 1-part QUIKREFRESH). A grit guard is highly recommended but not necessary
2. Soak the INSTADRY cloth in the solution and apply to the vehicle working from the top down. Try to get as much solution onto the vehicle as possible
3. Once the vehicle has been cleaned, rinse the INSTADRY and wring out 
4. Use the INSTADRY to then dry the whole car. NO HOSE RINSE IS NEEDED
5. If the temperatures are high or you’re washing in direct sunlight, it may be helpful to wash and dry in sections as small or large to reduce evaporation, rather than the whole car at once.
6. With that being said, there is no need to be worried about spotting, since the solution is easily wiped away without residue, even if it’s evaporated.

QUIKREFRESH - FAQ

What is QuikRefresh?

• QuikRefresh is specially designed for use in between regular washes to remove dust, water marks and light traffic film, reviving a just-washed finish. 
• QuikRefresh is a rinseless wash solution, and there’s no need to rinse before or after use.

How does QuikRefresh work?

• QuikRefresh works by breaking down and removing the first layer of traffic film, dust and water marks that occur in between washes, allowing them to be wiped away with no rinsing necessary before or after the routine.
• Autoglym chemists have combined unique microemulsion technology and micelles to produce QuikRefresh.
• Microemulsion lifts and suspends dirt particles, and micelles provide further lubrication so that the solution, having released and suspended the dirt particles, can then be wiped away without risk of marring, swirling or scratching surfaces.
• The reaction is instantaneous, so that as soon as the solution-soaked cloth contacts and starts moving across the surface particles are lifted, encapsulated and wiped away from the surface. 
• Then, instead of rinsing, the same cloth that was used to apply the solution is rinsed, wrung out and used to buff dry the surfaces of the car, with no residue or spotting. Just a clean finish, as if just washed in a more traditional way.

Is QuikRefresh safe to use on all car surfaces?

• Yes. 

Can I use QuikRefresh on my wheels?

• Yes.

Can I use QuikRefresh on rubber and plastic?

When would I use QuikRefresh?

• QuikRefresh should be used in-between regular washes to restore the just-washed finish by removing water marks, dust and light traffic film dirt. 
• If you keep your car under cover and wash it regularly, so that generally you only pick up dust and a little road grime, then QuikRefresh may well be the only car wash solution you need!
• It’s also excellent for refreshing your car if it’s been ceramic coated, and if you’ve been caught in the rain, then QuikRefresh makes short work of this kind of dirt.
• The only time you wouldn’t use QuikRefresh is where there’s heavy soling, such as clumps of mud and heavy, caked on road grime or tar. This calls for a more traditional wash routine, a bit more time and elbow grease. 

Can QuikRefresh be used on the interior of my car?

Can QuikRefresh be used with other Microfibre Cloths or drying aids?

• We recommend using an Autoglym InstaDry Drying Cloth for optimal results, because we’ve engineered QuikRefresh to work best in combination with the special features of InstaDry.
• If you use other microfibre cloths, drying towels or chamois products, the results will not be the same.
• It is possible to apply QuikRefresh using a microfibre wash mitt, then drying with an InstaDry, though this isn’t likely to produce better results than using an InstaDry only.

• Yes, QuikRefresh is a fantastic booster for protective coatings such as polish, wax and ceramic coating.

• The product is suitable for warm or cold water, whatever you wish and there’s no benefit using one over the other.

• As often as you wish!
• We recommend QuikRefresh for use in between regular washes to remove light traffic film dirt, dust and water marks to preserve that “just-washed” look.
• Though if you keep your car in a near-clean condition regularly, then QuikRefresh may well be the only car wash product you need, especially if you have little access to space or water. 

How much QuikRefresh should I use per wash?

• We recommend using 5 caps full (50ml) of QuikRefresh per 10 litres of water (1:200 dilution).

There is no greater risk of scratches or swirl marks using QuikRefresh, as there is washing with a more traditional car shampoo and rinse water as the primary lubricant. 
• It is important to regularly rinse the InstaDry regularly and ensure it is kept soaked with solution and not applied too dry.
