Bucket full of suds at 1:50 and the mud from a weekend trail run just melted off the arches. The dilution flexibility alone makes this genuinely useful for a working detailer.

One Bottle, Any Job
From dusty daily to mud-caked bakkie - one shampoo covers it all
V-MOL's three-tier dilution system means you dial the strength to match the dirt: run it lean for a slick maintenance wash or push it to 1:10 when the vehicle comes in properly filthy. No need for separate products at different price points.
Why V-MOL
Concentrated wash power with a clean conscience
Flexible dilution, biodegradable formula, tough on grime.
-
Three Dilution Strengths
1:100 for maintenance, 1:50 for medium dirt, 1:10 for heavy mud and oil - one bottle handles every wash scenario.
-
Biodegradable Formula
Environmentally responsible chemistry that breaks down safely, without sacrificing cleaning performance.
-
Protection-Friendly pH
Slightly basic pH cuts grime effectively without stripping ceramic coatings, waxes or paint sealants.
-
Tackles Mud and Oil
Formulated specifically to emulsify oil-based contamination and lift caked mud - not just light dust.
V-MOL vs. a Standard Car Shampoo
Not all shampoos are built for the hard stuff
Most basic car shampoos do a fine job on lightly dusty vehicles. V-MOL's concentrated, biodegradable formula is aimed at heavier soiling and higher-volume use - here's how they compare on the criteria that actually matter at the wash bucket.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible dilution ratios (1:10 to 1:100) | Yes | No |
| Cuts through mud and oil contamination | Yes | No |
| Biodegradable formula | Yes | No |
| Safe on painted surfaces | Yes | Yes |
| Available in 5L trade size | Yes | Yes |
| Dedicated fallout or iron removal | No | No |
Better Chemistry
Biodegradable and concentrated - less waste, more washes
A slightly basic pH gives V-MOL the bite it needs to dissolve oil and mud, while the biodegradable formula means you're not sending harmful run-off down the drain. Concentrated enough that even the 500ml bottle produces a serious number of wash buckets.

Cuts through oil and grime better than the shampoo I was using before. Rinses completely clean with no film left behind. Would probably pick up the 5L next time.

Client brought in a bakkie caked in mud from a farm visit. Mixed at 1:10, let it dwell for a minute, pressure rinsed - came off cleanly. Impressed.

Knowing it's biodegradable matters when you're washing a fleet in the driveway. Good lubrication on the mitt, no scratching, and the smell is decent. Packaging arrived in good condition too.
Questions
Frequently asked
What dilution ratio should I use for a regular maintenance wash?
For light dirt and maintenance washes, dilute V-MOL at 1:100 (1 part product to 100 parts water). This is enough to produce good lubrication and cleaning power without wasting product.
When should I use the 1:10 dilution?
The 1:10 ratio is for heavily soiled vehicles carrying caked mud, road oil, or significant grime. At this concentration V-MOL delivers maximum cleaning aggression while remaining biodegradable and surface-safe.
Is V-MOL safe to use on ceramic-coated or waxed paint?
Yes. V-MOL's slightly basic pH is balanced to clean effectively without stripping a properly cured ceramic coating or wax. At the maintenance dilution (1:100) it is particularly coating-friendly. Avoid excessively high concentrations on freshly applied sealants.
Can I use V-MOL on wheels, trim and glass as well as paint?
V-MOL is formulated for general vehicle washing and is safe on painted surfaces, glass and exterior trim. For heavy brake-dust or iron contamination on wheels, a dedicated wheel cleaner or fallout remover will give better results.
Can V-MOL be used in a foam cannon or snow foam lance?
Yes. V-MOL can be run through a foam cannon or pressure-washer lance for a pre-wash or contact-wash step. Dilution ratios will vary depending on your lance and pressure washer setup, so experiment from around 1:20 and adjust to achieve the foam density you want.
Does V-MOL leave any residue or need a special rinse?
No special rinse is needed. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with clean water until all suds are removed, then dry immediately with a quality microfibre drying towel to prevent water spotting. No residue should remain after a proper rinse.
Which sizes is V-MOL available in?
V-MOL is stocked in 500ml, 1.5L and 5L. The 1.5L and 5L options make the most sense for professional detailers or anyone washing vehicles frequently, given the high dilution ratios involved.
Is V-MOL safe to use around a pressure washer or on vehicles outdoors?
Yes. V-MOL is biodegradable, so run-off into garden areas or drains is less harmful than many conventional shampoos. As with any wash product, avoid washing in direct sunlight on a hot panel - the solution can dry before you rinse, leaving spots. Work panel by panel and rinse promptly.
