Eco-Friendly Vehicle Cleaning with V-ECO

At Wyatt Machine Tools, we’re proud to distribute the VONIXX range throughout New Zealand. One of the standout products in the range is VONIXX V-ECO, an environmentally friendly waterless wash designed to clean vehicles using minimal water.

Developed with biodegradable ingredients, VONIXX V-ECO combines high-performance cleaning agents, environmentally friendly solvents and natural carnauba wax to safely remove dirt while helping reduce the risk of scratching the paintwork.

The formula leaves behind a glossy finish with light protection, thanks to its neutral pH and carnauba wax content.

Whether you’re maintaining a daily driver, preparing a vehicle for display, or looking for a quick maintenance wash between full details, VONIXX V-ECO provides a convenient alternative to a traditional bucket wash.
