Oxide
Quick Detailer Hybrid
Size
Oxide is our quick detailer hybrid — it adds instant gloss like a detailer, but also lays down real, lasting protection like a spray sealant. One easy mist-and-buff leaves paint and wheels slick, glossy and beading water, with protection that comfortably lasts six to eight weeks per coat. Layering it builds the durability up even further.
At A Glance
Why You'll Love It
More than a shine spray — Oxide's hybrid formula lays down a genuine layer of protection that repels water and shrugs off grime, so your paint stays cleaner and glossier for six to eight weeks.
No cure times, no fuss. Mist onto a panel, spread and buff — you get sealant-level protection with the speed of a quick detailer.
Use it on all your paintwork and wheels, and layer additional coats to stack up more durability and depth. You control how much protection you want — one pass, or a few.
A fine mist is all each panel needs, so a bottle covers a lot of cars. Protection and gloss from a single, easy step — no separate sealant, applicator or buffing stage required.
What Does Oxide Actually Do?
A quick detailer adds gloss but wears off almost straight away; a dedicated sealant protects for months but takes more time and technique to apply. Oxide is the middle ground — a hybrid that gives you a lot of both without the effort of either.
The formula combines gloss agents, which lift light dust and lay down a slick, reflective layer, with synthetic sealant polymers, which bond to the surface and repel water. That's why a freshly-Oxided panel both looks deep and glossy and beads water like a waxed car. On wheels, that same repellency helps stop brake dust and road grime keying in.
Because it's a protective layer, it has a real lifespan — around six to eight weeks from a single coat on a well-kept car, worn back over time by washing, rain and miles. Layering more coats builds it up further, and topping up after a wash keeps the protection and beading going.

How To Use Oxide
Protection only bonds to a clean surface, so wash the car first and work on cool panels out of direct sunlight. Straight after drying is the perfect moment.
One mist for a small panel, two or three for a larger one. A light, even coat is all you need — more product doesn't mean more protection.
Spread it evenly across the panel with a clean microfibre cloth so the whole surface is covered.
Flip to a dry side of the cloth and buff off to a slick, glossy finish. Don't let it dry before you buff, and keep it out of direct sun. Layer a second coat for extra durability if you want it.
Each coat protects for around six to eight weeks. When water stops beading as tightly, reapply — a quick refresh after a wash keeps the protection and gloss topped up. For longer single-application durability, reach for Flex.
