1) What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links you’ll find on our website are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase from a third-party retailer, we may earn a small commission or referral fee at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate marketing helps support the running of this website and allows us to continue producing free, high-quality car care guides, reviews and tutorials for our readers.

2) How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on our Site, a small tracking cookie is placed in your browser by the retailer or affiliate network. If you then make a qualifying purchase within a certain timeframe, we may receive a commission for referring you.

These cookies are managed and stored by the relevant third-party network (for example, Amazon or Awin) — not by Detail Vault directly. For more details on how cookies are used, please see our Cookie Policy.

3) Our Affiliate Partners

We currently participate in (but are not limited to) the following affiliate programmes and partnerships:

  • Amazon EU Associates Programme – As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
  • Awin Network – Including partnerships with GSF Car Parts and MyMotorWorld.
  • Occasionally, other affiliate networks and merchants relevant to automotive, cleaning or car care products.

4) Earnings Disclaimer

While we may earn commissions from some purchases, we make no guarantees regarding potential savings, availability, or suitability of products or services. Prices, offers, and availability are subject to change at any time and are determined by the retailer, not by Detail Vault.

5) Our Product Recommendations

We take pride in offering honest, unbiased information. Our product selections and recommendations are based on:

  • Independent research and testing where possible
  • Customer feedback and verified reviews
  • Reputation and reliability of the manufacturer or supplier
  • Suitability for UK users, quality and performance

Affiliate commissions do not influence the content, reviews, or rankings presented on this Site. We only recommend products we believe provide genuine value to our readers.

6) Does This Affect What You Pay?

Absolutely not. Clicking an affiliate link and making a purchase through one of our partners does not change the price you pay. In some cases, you may even receive special discounts or offers available exclusively through our affiliate relationships.

7) Editorial Integrity & Independence

All articles, reviews, and guides published on Detail Vault are created to inform and educate our readers — not to promote specific brands for profit. We never accept payment to write positive reviews or alter our opinions in exchange for compensation.

If a post or product review has been sponsored or includes paid content, it will be clearly marked as such in accordance with UK ASA and CMA advertising guidelines.

8) Commitment to Transparency

We believe it’s important that our audience understands how we fund our content. Affiliate revenue supports:

  • Website hosting and maintenance costs
  • Independent product research and testing
  • Content creation, editing and photography
  • Ongoing updates and improvements to our guides and resources

By using our affiliate links, you’re helping to keep Detail Vault running — and we genuinely appreciate your support.

9) Questions or Concerns
