GENERAL QUESTIONS

Of course, nothing has changed at all. We still manufacture, fill & label our own products fully in-house. However, our retail website orders are now fulfilled by The Detailing Shack. So you're still ordering the same great Car-Chem quality, it's just shipped to you by another company.

The Detailing Shack fulfill Car-Chem's website orders and handle customer service. This means you get fast delivery times and top quality support.

Unfortunately not. If you previously bought bulk sizes (100L+ per order) and would like to continue to do so, please get in touch with us at info@car-chem.co.uk.

No, we have relaunched Car-Chem on a new platform and previous accounts/credentials have not been transferred over.
