WORKING TO REDUCE
OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

THE SCIENCE OF EXCELLENCE
FLEXI PADS
Why choose Autosmart?
A National Company with Local Support
Autosmart Australia was founded in 1994. With
manufacturing plants in Victoria, New South Wales
and Western Australia, we are the largest national
supplier of vehicle cleaning products and accessories
in Australia today.
Our national network of mobile showrooms delivers
excellent service to all of our customers. With over
30 mobile showrooms in Australia, wherever you
are, there is one near you. Each is locally owned by
a fully trained Autosmart franchisee.
No other company has either the depth or extensive
knowledge of the specialised cleaning requirements
of the transport industry. This means that no matter
what you clean, or how often you clean it, we will
have the right solution for you – from the dirtiest
truck to the greasiest workshop.
We are experts in resolving all types of vehicle cleaning problems. Using a wealth of knowledge and experience, we will help you to identify the correct mix of
products, equipment and support for your needs.
The Science of Excellence
Science is at the heart of success. Our international
research and development laboratories invest
heavily in ensuring each product is world class and
offers best quality and value in every market. Our
customers tell us that not only is our product range
the best, but that it continues to go from strength to
strength.
Commitment to Excellence
Our commitment to excellence is backed by our
certification to the International Standard ISO9001.
From the U.K. The 6” pad
cut varies from the heavy
cut yellow pad to the red
soft finishing pad. Each
pad comes with its own
backing plate.
Instant Delivery
Our mobile showroom brings everything to you. We
will visit you regularly – no matter where you are
located – giving you the opportunity to replenish
your stocks and to see what’s new. Each vehicle
carries a full stock of Autosmart products, which can
be demonstrated before you buy and take immediate
delivery, with no minimum order or delivery charge.
Environmentally Responsible
DYNABRADE WAFFLE PADS
Eight inch pads. The white is a cutting pad
and the black is a finishing pad.
EDGE PADS
We take our responsibility to the environment
seriously. Autosmart is certified to ISO14001, an
international initiative to improve the quality of
environmental management.
From the USA. The eight inch pad comes in different
colours which denote the pad hardness. From the black
heavy cut to the white soft finishing pad. The round up
edge protects vehicles from damage and the centering hole
ensures correct pad alignment.
Reducing our carbon footprint . . .
Autosmart Australia has undertaken several reviews to look at reducing our carbon footprint.
One of our greatest initiatives has been to reduce the amount of plastic packaging we buy.
The 20 litre plastic packaging has proved to be
a disposal problem at landfill sites.
Our franchisee network will recover the empty
plastic cubes and send them for refilling. This
has reduced the packaging we need to buy
with the average cube being re-used six times.
This not only reduces our carbon footprint but
yours as well.
We also choose to buy recycled 200 litre drums
when possible and the 1000 litre containers we
MICROFIBRE
CLOTHS
use for transporting bulk chemical are returned
empty for refilling.
Some 200 litre barrels we buy products in are
unable to be re-used. Rather than send them
to the tip we pay to have them picked up and
steam cleaned.
We are pleased to announce that the above initiatives have reduced the amount of plastic we
sent to landfill last year to zero.
Whilst all our products are available in new
packaging, we would ask all our customers to
join us in our drive to recycle where possible.
By returning your plastic cubes you will assist
us in our goals.
AUTOSMART RANGE OF SPRAYS
Ask your distributor for the most appropriate
spray for your application, with some seals
being more resistant to different chemicals.
PVA, Cheesecloth, Nappies, Waffle cloths, Window
chamois. A cloth for every application.
SEA SPONGES

On our Web Site you will find information that may
prove useful in helping you fulfil your legal obligations in running your business.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act states that
“any person who comes into contact with Hazardous Substances must receive training by law”.
Recent legislation has placed a large responsibility
onto the shoulders of the person introducing chemical products into the workplace. The safe handling
of these products and work practices carried out being subject to On-Site Risk Assessments. Autosmart
Australia are fully aware that most of our customers
purchasing products are not chemists and so rely
heavily on their suppliers for information to assist in
the preparation of these assessments. Verbal information, whilst it may be accurate, can be prone to
misinterpretation. Also, the paperwork handed out at
the time of sale can be misplaced.
Autosmart has prepared an introductory course on
Awareness of Hazardous Substances. Incoming employees train on the difference between Dangerous
and Hazardous goods and how to recognise hazardous and non-hazardous products, and also when to
use Personal Protective Equipment.
It is for this reason that we have the Material Safety
Data Sheets for all the products we sell on our Web
Site. For each of these products our customers must
do an On-Site Risk Assessment. On the Web Site are
a full set of the Product Information Charts to help
you conduct your Risk Assessments. These also contain advice on dilutions.
This course also uses training material supplied by
Workcover, giving employers a base on which to
start employee training.
This course has been written so that any employer
can present it and use it as the basis for their Safety
Training for employees. This course is available free
of charge as a service to our customers. Please contact your local distributor for details.
Please check this Site intermittently as we place
new product information on it as the products
become available. The Web Site also contains a
link to the Autosmart International Web Site at
www.autosmart.co.uk.
Autosmart and the environment
Autosmart International takes its responsibility to the environment
seriously, and we are certified to ISO14001, an international
initiative to improve the quality of environmental management.
The ISO standards are enforceable and to a high standard, whilst
recent schemes giving coloured ticks to products we see as having
little worth because there are no government guidelines or legal
requirements.
We recently decided that Autosmart’s goal should not only be
to avoid harming the environment, but to benefit or enhance the
environment is some way if we could. One of our shareholders is
a keen ornithologist and introduced us to the plight of the Gouldian
Finch, one of Australia’s most beautiful and endangered species.
The “Save the Gouldian Fund” is a charity set up to fund research
and preserve the Gouldian Finch in the wild.
Autosmart Australia is proud to announce we are a Major Sponsor
to this charity so when you buy from us you will also be contributing
to this great cause.
If you want to learn more about the Gouldian Finch please contact

Quick Break and Biodegradable products
on the environment the product must break down
into elements that occur naturally in a healthy
ecosystem.
SUPERHANDS
Over many years Australia has been working towards
cleaner and less polluting work practices. Legislation
has been introduced to protect the environment from
toxic and non degradable waste products. Part of
this protection has been the requirement for businesses to install wash bays with sediment traps and
oil separation systems.
“The invisible glove”. Forms an invisible, dirtrepelling barrier to shield the skin against virtually all
forms of contaminant. Simply rinse away all soiling
without having to use chemicals or abrasives.
For these systems to work the chemical cleaning
products used must be designed to release oil in oil
separators. This type of product has been given the
general term “quick break”.
TWO IN ONE
What does Quick Break mean?
After work cream which can also be used as a barrier
cream. Effective against cutting oils, detergents
and alkalis; helps protect against dermatitis and
chapping. Containing a moisturiser, it is also an
effective after-work cream.
When cleaning a vehicle the soiling that is removed
can contain oils, grease, fuel and other mineral
contaminants. These products do not break down in
the environment and are soil and marine pollutants.
To remove grease and oil from car paintwork and
mechanical parts chemical products are used that
dissolve the oils and make them mix in water,
forming an emulsion. This emulsion is then passed
through the oil separator. For a product to be classed
as “quick break” this emulsion must be temporary
and break down releasing the oils to be skimmed off
in the separator.
These products include:
What does Biodegradable mean?
Always ensure that the sediment trap is cleaned
regularly and the separator is working correctly.
The products removed from the system must be
disposed of in accordance with local council’s directions.
Barrier Creams
An example of this would be Autowash when
broken down, the alkaline and phosphates residues
promote plant growth. A product that breaks down
completely and leaves no pollutants is said to
biodegrade.
Autosmart International with Autosmart Australia
are committed to protecting the environment and
have developed a full range of products that are
both Quick Break and Biodegradable and safe to use
in your separation systems.

PRE-SPRAYS
Autosmart manufacture a full range of vehicle cleaning
detergents for cleaning in every type or climatic
condition that we encounter in Australia. Ask your local
distributor which product would give the best results in
your area.
TRI-FOAM
This is a product normally manufactured in America.
It consists of three different coloured foams, normally
Red, Blue and Yellow. How do you get different coloured
foams on a car? The answer is quite simple. You put
such a large amount of dye into the product that even
after dilution it colours the water and hence the foam.
So normally the three products are identical other than
just the different coloured dye. These products are
popular with customers who enjoy seeing the different
colours of foam. For this reason, tri-foams are available
from your local distributor.
ACID WASH
In some areas car-washes have found that no matter
what detergents they use a slight grey film still remains
on the car. When we analyse this it normally consists
of heavy metals such as cadmium and lead. These
have come from car exhausts and other atmospheric
pollutants and are now stuck onto the paint by their
electrons. This dirt is simply removed with a wipe, but
the electron bond will be too strong for detergents to
remove.
So in a touch free car wash the simplest way to remove
this soiling is with a mild acid wash being applied over
the vehicle. Autosmart Acid Wash achieves this without
damaging the vehicles. The phosphoric acid blend not
being as objectionable to people or equipment as other
acid products.
RINSE AID
Liquid Chamois. Rinse Aid assists the water to run off a
vehicle. This results in the elimination of water marks.
A gloss enhancer inhibits re-soiling.
KRIL
WAXES
P
S
Aquawax Cherry. Our most popular wax. This product
is Cherry fragranced and coloured so that the customer
can see and smell it being applied. The car is left with
a glossy streak-free finish. This product is suitable for
all carwash applications.
Aquawax assists in the rinsing of vehicles, leaving a
glossy streak-free finish.
BRUSHWASH
Brushwash has been specially formulated to enhance
the bristle life of a brushwash machine. The product
does not dry out the bristles and has a plasticising
agent to keep bristles soft and supple. This helps stop
the bristles snapping off and scratching vehicles. A full
range of waxes and drying agents are also available.

Contains emulsifiers so it is easy to rinse off.
R3
R4
Heavy paste cut for deep scratch removal and oxidised paint.
R6
Heavy duty cutting compound for the removal of
oxidised paints.
SOPHISTICUT
The aggression of a cutting compound can be adjusted
by using different density foam pads. If you wish to
increase the cut by using a hard pad, more weight will
be transferred to the compound and hence more cutting aggression. By using a soft pad the aggression will
be reduced. Also by using a 6” pad, a different cut will
be achieved than by using an 8”. It is for this reason
that Autosmart supplies a full and varied range of pads
to suit high speed buffs, down to low speed variables,
giving our customers a wide and varied choice.
MICROFIBRE CLOTH
For maximum performance, use Restore Microfibre
Cloth to quickly wipe the car and remove any residue.
BOAT/FIBREGLASS RESTORATION
Fibreglass can appear flat and dull. This is caused by
sun damage to the gel-coat. R6 is designed to remove
the oxidised layer whilst burnishing the surface to a
high shine. Once prepared an application of Platinum
polish will restore that new boat shine.
For removal of scratches, oxidation and surface
defects. Used by hand or machine, ideal for the removal
of denibbing marks.
Each product is fast to use and designed for minimal sling and an excellent finish. The added lubicity within the
Restore products eliminates the need to add water, increasing speed of use.
Aluminium Cleaning
Aluminium is a very soft material that can be easily
marked by aggressive chemical cleaning products. This
normally results in a whitening of the metal. When using
chemicals it should be trialled in a small, inconspicuous
area. The product should be diluted until the desired end
result is achieved. Should the metal be whitened, it can
be remedied using a product such as Autosmart’s Purple
Stuff. Caution: Most modern aluminium wheels have been
coated with a clear lacquer. These must be treated as a
painted surface.
PURPLE STUFF
This product is unique as the fine abrasive compound
is combined with natural wax. So, not only does the
aluminium buff up to a high gloss finish, but it stays
that way for much longer, with the wax preventing
reoxidisation.
BRISK LOW FOAM

remedial wheel cleaning. Ali both cleans and brightens
the wheels in one action. HF safe.
