Kimberly-Clark's range of WYPALL® Wipers are all about performance

Ford Performance Racing

WYPALL* wipers has developed a partnership with the Ford Performance Racing V8 Supercar team, which demonstrates the benefits of using a performance wiping system.

WYPALL* Wipers are used exclusively throughout Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) engine manufacturing facilities, as well as by the race crew.

Here’s what the FPR team had to say about WYPALL* Wipers:


“We were using cotton rags, but were having problems with contamination in the engine…The WYPALL* product is much better in that it doesn’t distribute lint and its’ absorption is much better than rag. We use a variety of oils, chemical-based solvents and water, and WYPALL* Wipers work very well with all of these.”

Ashley Campbell, Engine Builder, FPR.

“It’s important to clean the car to check the chassis for cracks… We were using mainly rags which are not what you’d look for because you get a lot of waste and they’re not a uniform size and material.”

Chris O’Toole, Number 1 Mechanic on Car 6, FPR.

“In a race situation, very small amounts of time can be the difference between a top 10 finish and last place, and servicing the shock absorbers plays a major part in doing well in the V8 category. The ability to do that cleanly and with a minimum of fuss while at a race – that’s where WYPALL* Wipers come in. The product is fantastic… better than anything we’ve used.”

Dave Paterson, Senior Race Engineer, FPR.

When seconds count, there’s no time for a wiping product that’s torn, soiled, non-absorbent, maybe not even usable. That’s why Ford Performance Racing use WYPALL* Wipers.
