Pacer Car Clean Products is a New Zealand supplier of professional chemicals and cleaning supplies for the automotive industry, with a Christchurch branch at 18 Innovation Road in Islington. The catalogue is built for working workshops, panel shops, detailers and grooming businesses: auto washes and degreasers to get vehicles clean, then compounds, polishes, pads, waxes and coatings for paint correction, plus dedicated interior, wheel and glass care lines to finish the job properly.
Alongside car care, Pacer equips the wider workplace. A full workshop and office cleaning range — including the Cleantastic™ line — covers kitchen, bathroom, floor, carpet, laundry and outdoor cleaning, paper products and refuse liners, with an ECNZ/MPI approved range for sites that need approved products. Machines such as rotary and random orbital polishers, pressure washers, dual action sanders and wet & dry vacuums sit beside a deep tools-and-accessories section of brushes, pads, sprayers, hoses and protective gear.
The Christchurch branch is supported by pacer.co.nz, where the full range can be browsed and ordered, safety data sheets are published, and sales rep contact numbers are listed. Recognised brands on the shelves include 3M, Mipa, Autosol, Brunox, Car System, Concept & Surface, Flex and Green Rhino, alongside Pacer's own Pace™ and Cleantastic™ lines.
Pacer Car Clean Products has built its name on a simple idea: the automotive industry deserves cleaning chemicals and accessories designed for professional results. The company's Christchurch operation sits at 18 Innovation Road in Islington, serving the panel shops, mechanical workshops, detailers, groomers and car wash operators that keep the region's vehicles presentable.
What stands out about Pacer is the depth of the catalogue. This is not a shelf of a dozen bottles; it is a full professional range organised the way a working workshop thinks, from the first rinse of a dirty ute to the final wipe-down of a show car — and then outwards to the workshop itself.
The washing and cleaning section covers auto washes and cleaners of every type: foaming shampoos, car and truck wash concentrates, special paintwork cleaners, and a deep bench of cleaner degreasers in both waterbased and solvent-based formulations. Glass care gets its own subsection — window cleaners, squeegees, glass cleaning accessories and windscreen washer additive — while the solvent cleaner line takes care of brake cleaner, parts cleaning fluids and the brushes that go with them.
Once the vehicle is clean, preparation, polishing and protection takes over. There are compounds, swirl removers, polishes and glazes, waxes and quick detailing sprays, plus coatings for longer-term protection. Pacer's own Pace™ Paint Finishing System anchors this area, supported by an unusually complete pad programme: foam, wool and micro fibre pads — including dedicated 40mm and 75mm sizes — along with a centre ring buffing pad system and hand applicator pads.
Interior care is just as thorough. Air fresheners come as cans, sprays, odour eliminator foggers and ozone treatments; carpet and fabric cleaners are joined by fabric protectors, leather care and both machine and hand-use formulas; and a line of interior dressings handles dashboards and trim. Wheels and tyres are served by dedicated wheel cleaners, bumper and tyre dressings, waterbased and non-silicone dressing options, tyre paint and even wheel covers.
Pacer also equips everything around the car. The Cleantastic™ range and a broader workshop and office cleaning line cover bathroom, kitchen, floor, carpet and laundry cleaning, body and hand care, air and odour control, outdoor products such as graffiti and moss & mould removers, plus paper products and refuse liners. For sites that need them, an ECNZ/MPI approved range spans the same ground — bathroom, kitchen, floor, glass, laundry, multipurpose and vehicle — which matters for kitchens and other compliance-conscious workplaces.
Hardware gets real attention too. The machines section lists rotary and random orbital polishers, mini polishers, pressure washers, dual action sanders, and wet & dry vacuums and shampoo extraction cleaners, with accessories and spare parts to keep them running. The tools and accessories side fills in the rest: brushes for every surface, chemical dispensers and drum handling gear, microfibre towels, chamois, buckets, hoses, knives and blades, adhesives and tapes, and protective gear from gloves to breathing and hearing protection.
Brand names on the shelves include 3M, Mipa, Autosol, Brunox, Car System, Flex, Green Rhino and the Concept & Surface family — alongside Pacer's own Pace™ and Cleantastic™ lines.
Everything can be browsed at pacer.co.nz, including a flipbook version of the full catalogue for easy reading. Registered customers order online, with an Express Order page built for fast repeat purchases, and the site flags clearance items and current specials alongside selected equipment on sale. A dedicated safety data sheet (SDS) section publishes documentation for the chemical range, and Pacer's chemical wall chart helps workshop staff match the right product to the right job.
The Islington branch's opening hours are not published online, so it pays to get in touch before visiting — sales@pacer.co.nz reaches the sales team, and the website lists sales rep contact numbers for accounts that prefer to deal with a person. Whether you are kitting out a new grooming bay or just need a five-litre container of traffic film remover, Pacer's combination of range, paperwork and trade focus makes it a sensible first stop for Christchurch's automotive industry.
