SiO₂ Protection

Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need any water at all to use Lustradry?
No water is required. Lustradry is designed specifically as a waterless solution - spray it directly onto the surface, allow it a moment to moisten and loosen the dirt, then wipe off with two separate microfibre cloths. It can also be used as part of a traditional wet wash process if you prefer.
What surfaces can I use Lustradry on?
Lustradry is suitable for all exterior surfaces of the vehicle, including painted bodywork, glass, and exterior trim, without leaving streaks. Avoid interior surfaces or any area not intended for exterior detailing chemistry.
Is Lustradry safe to use on heavily soiled vehicles?
Lustradry is best used on lightly to moderately soiled vehicles - think fresh dust, light road grime, fingerprints and localised soiling like bird droppings. Heavily caked mud or thick contamination should be pre-rinsed where possible. Working panel by panel in small sections reduces the risk of dragging heavier grit across the paint.
What is the correct technique to avoid scratching?
Spray Lustradry from about 15cm, let it dwell briefly to soften the dirt, then use the first damp microfibre cloth to lift contamination by wiping in one horizontal direction. Follow immediately with a second, clean dry cloth to finish the panel. Never apply circular pressure on a dry, unlubricated surface.
Does Lustradry contain SiO₂ and what does that mean for protection?
Yes, Lustradry is formulated with SiO₂ (silicon dioxide). This leaves a protective barrier on the paintwork that resists weathering agents and gives the surface a smooth, polished feel. It is a maintenance-level protection rather than a standalone ceramic coating, so regular application keeps the finish in good condition.
How often should I apply Lustradry?
You can use Lustradry as often as you need a quick clean. There is no set interval - many detailers reach for it between full wash sessions, before events, or any time the car picks up fresh soiling. Frequent use also helps maintain the SiO₂ protective layer on the surface.
Can I use Lustradry over an existing wax, sealant or ceramic coating?
Yes. Lustradry is a maintenance product and is compatible with surfaces that already carry a wax, sealant or ceramic coating. It will not strip existing protection and will complement the hydrophobic and gloss properties of an underlying coating.
Which size should I choose - 750ml or 4.54L?
The 750ml bottle is ideal for daily carry, boot storage, or occasional use. The 4.54L container is the better value option for professional detailers, mobile operators or anyone who goes through product quickly. Both contain the same formula - the larger format simply offers a lower cost per application.
