Effol Superstar-Shine 750ml

Effol gives no dosage or step-by-step method for this article. So work as you would with any coat shine spray: brush first, then spray lightly onto a clean coat and onto mane and tail, and comb through. A thin layer is enough; more product does not add shine.

Effol nowhere instructs you to skip certain areas. If you want to keep grip in the saddle, simply leave the back and the girth area alone and stay on the flanks, the legs, the mane and the tail.

The statement EUH208 on the label notes that the product may cause an allergic reaction. Effol asks you to wash your hands thoroughly after use and to keep the bottle tightly closed, out of sunlight and away from heat, in its original packaging.

This bottle suits riders who want a well-kept coat every day and easier combing of mane and tail, without a pronounced scent in the grooming box. For show days and photo sessions it is the neutral base of the range.

If you are mainly after volume in mane and tail, the Effol Mähnen-Schweif-Liquid 500 ml is the logical pick: Effol positions that product on volume first. If you want a scent while grooming, choose the Effol SuperStar-Shine Mint or the Effol SuperStar-Shine Orange & Ginger. If the coat is genuinely dirty, start by washing, for instance with the Effol White-Star Spray-Shampoo 500 ml for greys and light coats or with the NAF Show Off Shampoo; a coat shine spray does not clean.

Effol gives no step-by-step instructions for this article. Spray lightly onto a clean, dry coat and onto mane and tail, then comb through; rinsing is not needed. Before clipping you may mist the coat lightly, which according to Effol makes the job easier.

Do not spray towards your horse's head and wash your hands thoroughly after use. Keep the bottle closed in its original packaging, out of sunlight and uv and away from heat.

Do I need to rinse the Effol SuperStar-Shine out?
No. Effol mentions no rinsing step; the spray stays in the coat and in the long hair.

What is this spray for?
For shine on coat, mane and tail, and to make grooming and combing lighter work. According to Effol, knots, shavings and straw come away almost without pulling.

How does it differ from the Lavender, Mint and Orange & Ginger versions?

Can I use it before clipping?
Yes, that is a tip from Effol itself: spraying the coat before clipping makes the job easier.

Is the spray suitable for all coat colours?
Effol makes no statement about that for this article. The wording appears only on the Orange & Ginger version.

May I use it at a competition?
