Expert Notes

A pure, pH neutral shampoo is a safe maintenance wash for a protected car. With no waxes or gloss enhancers, it cleans without leaving anything behind, which is why it suits matte and satin finishes as well as coatings.

Its lubricity does the safety work. Dirt is lifted and carried away in the suds rather than dragged across the paint.

It goes a long way too: Autobead says 10ml in a 15 litre bucket is more than enough, so a 500ml bottle gives over 50 washes.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • All paintwork
  • Matte and satin finishes
  • Ceramic coated and waxed cars

Caution: Wash out of direct sun and do not let the shampoo dry on the car.

How To Use

Prepare

  1. Add 7ml to 10ml of Pure Shampoo to a 15 litre bucket of warm water and agitate for suds.
  2. Rinse the car thoroughly to remove loose dirt.

Wash and dry

  1. Use the two bucket method with a suitable wash mitt, working from the top down.
  2. Rinse thoroughly to remove any remaining residue.
  3. Dry with a dedicated drying towel.

Top Tip: Use it as a clay lubricant. Autobead says a few millilitres in a mixer bottle topped up with water saves buying a dedicated clay lube.
