Another car care brand? From Motul? We’ve got questions.
If you’re a car guy, you’d probably heard of Motul. Yup, it’s that French high-performance automotive lubricant company that’s often associated with racing, be it bikes or cars.
Well, it looks like they have shifted gears into the grooming space, bringing a lineup of products designed to make car care easier, more effective, and surprisingly eco-friendly. Let’s take a closer look at what the premium brand has to offer.
A Debut Tailored for Singapore
Motul’s Car Care Range first made waves in Europe and the USA in 2022, impressing enthusiasts with its innovative formulas and results-driven performance. After fine-tuning the lineup to suit Asia Pacific’s unique needs and weather conditions, the brand launched in Singapore in October 2024.
Whether battling Singapore’s unpredictable rains, harsh sun, or day-to-day urban grime, these products have been crafted to handle it all with ease.
Standing Out in a Crowded Market
Let’s be honest—the car grooming industry is saturated with products promising miracles. So, what’s different about Motul?
Well, sustainability actually.
“Sustainability is at the heart of the Motul Car Care Range. Each product is formulated with over 60% biodegradable ingredients, pH-balanced for safety, and free from harmful chemicals, ensuring they are as kind to the environment as they are effective. Our commitment extends to our packaging, which incorporates up to 50% recycled plastic, further reducing our environmental footprint. The eco-friendly label on every product is a testament to Motul’s pledge to deliver safer, more sustainable solutions for our customers and the planet,” says Carlo Savoca, Chief Marketing Officer – Motul Asia Pacific.
Which if you think about it, it makes perfect sense, since car grooming products have never been known to contain the most biodegradable materials, and there must be a way to take that tech-forward in these times.
But before we get to carried away with the tree-hugging spiel, let’s not forget that Motul has decades of lubricant expertise and a solid reputation among car enthusiasts and professionals alike.
So their new Car Care Range definitely promises to perform too! Currently, they are divided into three main categories:
- Protection: Think paintwork that gleams like it just rolled out of the showroom.
- Exterior Clean: Products designed to tackle micro-abrasive particles and keep grime at bay.
- Interior Clean: Leather and interior cleaners that are oil-free, odourless, and made to maintain that new-car feel.
OK, So Why Is Motul Moving Beyond Lubricants?
According to the brand, it’s a natural evolution.
“Motul understands that car care is closely linked to performance, and it’s about ensuring every drive is a pleasure. By listening to our customers, we recognised the need to expand our portfolio and offer a complete solution for vehicle maintenance, ” Savoca adds.
So, while its lubricants keep engines running smoothly, the new Car Care Range enhances every other aspect of vehicle ownership, from aesthetics to comfort.
Pride for your car, inside and out.
But Can Eco-Friendly Car Care Still Perform?
We’ll be testing out some samples soon and will share our thoughts. In the meantime, we recognise that in a world that’s finally waking up to environmental responsibility, Motul’s decision to prioritise sustainability can’t be faulted.
But while their Car Care Range is pH-balanced, safe to use, and kind to the planet, we certainly do hope that they deliver on the promise of pro-level results with minimal effort. As car detailing buffs ourselves, we can’t wait.
First impressions from the mint-scented car shampoo are already kind of ‘fresh’ (we’ve never encountered car shampoo that smells like Mentos before) and unique!
