A-Kem Core Wash System

The minimum standard for washing a car properly.

If you’re going to wash your car, this is where it should start.

The A-Kem Core Wash System brings together the essential stages of a safe, effective wash, using professional-grade products and the correct tools to use them. No filler, no confusion, no shortcuts.

This is not a collection of bottles.
It’s a complete wash system.

Includes pre-wash, shampoo, wheel cleaner, rinse-aid gloss and wash mitt.

What’s included

Everything you need for a proper wash, in the correct order:

PreClean (1L, Core-only size)

The product doing all the hard work, supplied in a 1 litre size exclusive to this kit. Removes traffic film, road grime and heavy dirt before contact, helping reduce the risk of swirl marks and marring.

Puro Shampoo (600ml, Core-only size)

A safe, effective shampoo that cleans thoroughly without stripping existing protection. Supplied in a self-dosing bottle designed to deliver exact dilutions every time, reflecting the high dilution rates used across the A-Kem range. This bottle will give you 24 washes (6 months supply)

Cleanse – Wheel & Tyre Cleaner (1L, Core-only size)

Our powerful wheel and tyre cleaner, supplied in a 1 litre size exclusive to this kit, allowing you to experience it properly before committing to larger formats.

UltraGloss – Rinse Aid & Gloss Enhancer

Adds instant gloss and improved water behaviour during the rinse stage.
Designed for quick results and easy use, UltraGloss rewards your effort immediately and makes ongoing maintenance simpler.

(Long-term protection products are introduced higher up the A-Kem kit ladder.)

A-Kem Wash Mitt

Included as standard.
Because using the right products without the right tool defeats the point.

Optional upgrade

Drying Towel – Yes please / Not this time

Add a premium drying towel if you want a complete wash-and-dry setup.
Already have one? No problem. The Core Wash System stands perfectly on its own.

Why we built it this way

Many wash kits focus on products alone.
We focus on process.

A proper wash requires:

• A pre-wash to remove heavy dirt

• A safe contact wash

• Dedicated wheel cleaning

• A finishing stage to enhance gloss and water behaviour

• And the correct tool to carry it out safely

That’s exactly what the Core Wash System delivers.

No unnecessary extras.
No missing steps.

Who it’s for

• Anyone upgrading from basic car shampoo and a sponge

• Owners who care about paintwork, wheels and long-term condition

• Customers who want professional results without professional complexity

If you only ever buy one wash kit, this should be it.

How it fits the A-Kem range

The Core Wash System is the foundation of our cleaning kits.

It’s designed to:

• Establish proper wash technique

• Deliver immediate, visible results

• Act as the natural starting point for further protection upgrades

More advanced protection systems, including longer-lasting sealants, are introduced in the next steps up the ladder.

In short

✔ Proper wash system
✔ Wheel cleaner included
✔ Wash mitt included as standard
✔ Instant gloss and easier maintenance
✔ Optional drying towel upgrade

This is the baseline. Anything less is a compromise.
