Fleet car and van cleaning solutions

Fleet car and van cleaning solutions

Professional cleaning chemicals for high-volume fleet vehicles

Fleet cars and small vans operate in demanding environments, covering high mileages under constant road contamination. This means frequent cleaning cycles are the norm. For cleaning and maintenance contractors, speed, consistency, safety, and cost control are paramount.

Nielsen Professional supplies UK-manufactured, contractor-grade vehicle cleaning chemicals developed specifically for high-throughput fleet operations. Trusted by contractors nationwide, our products deliver reliable, repeatable performance across mixed fleets while keeping cost-in-use firmly under control.

Whether you maintain company cars, delivery vans, rental fleets or service vehicles, Nielsen provides the chemistry, consistency, and technical support required to keep vehicles cleaner, for longer.

A proven approach to fleet vehicle cleaning

There’s a long-standing myth that effective fleet cleaning means using more product. In reality, it’s about using the right products, in the right order. A structured workflow improves cleaning efficiency, reduces vehicle downtime, and protects finishes over the long term.

A typical high-performance fleet cleaning process includes:

  1. Pre-wash contamination removal to reduce manual agitation
  2. Contact washing for consistent surface cleaning
  3. Targeted wheel and tyre treatment
  4. Protective finishes to reduce future soiling
  5. Interior cleaning focused on hygiene and durability

Our professional range is designed to support this workflow end-to-end, helping contractors standardise results across large vehicle volumes. 

Exterior cleaning solutions for fleet cars and vans

Fleet vehicles are exposed daily to traffic film, diesel residue, road salts, brake dust, and environmental fallout. Nielsen’s exterior cleaning range is designed to remove heavy contamination quickly, safely, and efficiently, even in busy wash bays and mobile fleet operations.

Traffic film removers

Traffic Film Removers (TFR)

Traffic Film Removers form the foundation of fleet vehicle cleaning. Nielsen’s livery-safe TFRs are engineered to break down stubborn road grime without damaging paintwork, decals, or wraps.

Fast-acting formulas reduce the need for heavy manual agitation, helping contractors improve productivity while delivering consistent results across large fleets.

shampoos and waxes

Vehicle shampoos & foam cleaners

Following pre-wash, high-foam shampoos and foam cleaners safely lift remaining dirt from the vehicle surface. Nielsen’s formulations generate rich, stable foam to improve coverage, reduce swirl risk, and rinse clean without residue.

Ideal for multi-vehicle wash bays and mobile fleet valeting, delivering consistent results across cars and small vans.

wheel cleaners

Wheel & tyre cleaners

Fleet wheels endure heavy braking, stop-start driving, and extended mileage. Nielsen’s wheel cleaners target brake dust, road salts, and ingrained contamination quickly and safely, with acid and non-acid options available to suit both routine maintenance and deeper cleaning tasks.

Professional-grade solutions for alloy wheels, trims, and heavily soiled fleet vehicles, delivering fast results with reduced dwell times.

Car coatings and dressings

Rinse waxes & protective coatings

Protective finishes improve appearance while reducing future cleaning time. Rinse waxes and spray sealants help repel dirt and water, enhance gloss, and accelerate drying, key advantages in time-sensitive fleet operations.

Fast-acting protection that keeps fleet vehicles cleaner for longer and supports quicker turnaround in busy wash environments.

Interior cleaning solutions for high-use fleet vehicles

Fleet interiors experience heavy wear due to shared use, frequent entry and exit, and constant contact with high-touch surfaces. Nielsen’s interior cleaning products are formulated to restore cleanliness, hygiene, and presentation efficiently.

Car interior cleaners

Multi-surface interior cleaners

All-purpose interior cleaners form the backbone of fleet valeting routines. Nielsen’s formulations remove grime, fingerprints, and surface contamination while leaving a clean, non-greasy finish.

Suitable for dashboards, plastics, door panels, and hard interior surfaces throughout fleet vehicles.

Car fabric dressings

Fabric & upholstery cleaners

Seats, carpets, and mats in fleet cars and vans require regular deep cleaning. Nielsen’s fabric cleaners penetrate fibres to lift stains and neutralise odours, supporting professional presentation standards across rental, delivery, and shared-use fleets.

Compatible with manual cleaning and extraction machines, ideal for high-traffic fleet interiors.

Car window cleaners

Glass & mirror cleaners

Clear visibility and streak-free finishes are essential for fleet safety and compliance. Nielsen’s glass cleaners evaporate quickly, leaving no residue and allowing vehicles to return to service faster.

Fast-drying, high-clarity cleaners designed for rapid fleet turnaround.

Car tyre dressings

Dressings for tyres, trims & interiors

Dressings enhance the finished appearance of fleet vehicles while protecting surfaces from wear and UV exposure. Used correctly, they help maintain a consistent, professional image across large fleets.

Long-lasting finishes that restore colour and protect frequently handled surfaces.

Cost-effective cleaning at fleet scale

In high-volume fleet operations, cost-in-use matters more than cost-per-litre. Nielsen’s concentrated formulations are designed to reduce chemical consumption, minimise storage and handling requirements, support consistent dilution across teams, and lower rework and vehicle downtime.

All these characteristics mean that with Nielsen Professional you get lower overall cost-per-wash without compromising cleaning performance.

Compliance, safety & technical support

However, the support from Nielsen Professional towards contractors goes beyond the product itself. Our technical services include dilution guidance, COSHH documentation, product selection advice, and workflow process optimisation.

All products are manufactured in the UK and supplied with professional use in mind, helping contractors operate safely, compliantly, and efficiently.
