4WD & RV Wash Detergent 1L
Give your vehicle the TLC it needs to keep looking its best with Salty Captain’s 4WD & RV Wash Detergent (1L). Offering the same high-quality cleaning power you’ve come to expect from Salty Captain’s other detergents, this aggressive formula has been specially developed to remove hard, caked-on mud and muck.
This non-toxic alkaline (PH 12) detergent cuts deeply through mud and grit, leaving your vehicle’s paint or gel coating spic and span. The formula contains Salty Captain’s proprietary blend of anti-rust and corrosion inhibitors, adding a layer of protection to your beloved Land Cruiser. Combined with Salty Captain’s Musket, this Wash Detergent is a no-fuss solution for a clean, rust-free vehicle.
For best results: Use in conjunction with Salty Captain’s Noodle Mitt and Microfiber Dry Towel to agitate and dry properly. Try to wash your vehicle in a cool shaded area, rather than in direct sunlight. Don’t let suds dry to avoid water spots.
How to wash your vehicle properly, step by step:
- Find a cool, shaded area out of the sun to wash your car or 4x4
- Fill the musket canister with 50-90 ml of Salty Captain’s Wash Detergent
- Shift the mode on the top of the musket to water only. Remove any loose salt, sand or grime before foaming the vehicle
- Wash the Wheels with Salty Captain’s Automotive Wheel Wash (Follow wheel wash instructions)
- Cover one half of the vehicle with Foam by shifting the mode handle to Foam + Water
- Fill a bucket with the foam and water. Dip the microfibre mitt in it, and begin the agitation process (Don’t press the wash noodle hard into the body, the weight of your hand should be sufficient)
- Make sure suds do not dry on the vehicle
- Rinse the suds off with fresh water by adjusting the mode handle to water only
- Repeat steps 6,7 and 8 until the whole vehicle has been cleaned
- Completely dry the vehicle with an XL microfibre dry towel
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this detergent better than standard car wash soap?
Our 4WD & RV Wash Detergent is specifically formulated for high-demand vehicles that face extreme conditions. Unlike standard soaps, it contains powerful active ingredients that cut through heavy mud, red dust, and salt, while maintaining a high-lubricity foam that protects your paintwork from scratching during the wash process.
Is this detergent safe for use on all exterior surfaces?
Absolutely. It is pH-neutral and safe to use on all surfaces, including clear-coat paint, powder-coated bull bars, aluminum side steps, plastic trim, and glass. It won't strip away your existing wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings.
Can I use this in a foam cannon or with the Captain's Musket?
Yes! This detergent is highly concentrated and perfectly compatible with foam cannons and our Captain's Musket 2-in-1 system. It produces a thick, rich lather that clings to your vehicle, helping to lift off contaminants before you even touch the paint with a wash mitt.
Is this product environmentally friendly?
Yes, our detergent is biodegradable and free from harsh chemicals. We prioritize formulas that are effective on tough trail grime but remain safe for your home drainage and the surrounding environment when used as directed.
How much detergent should I use for a single wash?
Due to its highly concentrated nature, a little goes a long way. For foam cannons or the Captain's Musket, 50–90ml is usually sufficient to cover your entire vehicle in thick suds. Adjusting the ratio is easy depending on the level of dirt and mud your vehicle has accumulated.
