Shampoos
Car shampoos and alloy wheel shampoos are some of the most important detailing and valeting products out there. Shampoos by definition are made up of a blend of cleaning agents, lubricants and special Surface Active Agents (surfactants), and produce a solution of suds that not only helps to break down a lift grime, but to lubricate potentially harmful particles, allowing them to be rinsed safely off of surfaces.
These eradicate dirt and grime through both mechanical (agitation and wiping away with your wash mitt) and chemical action – due to their carefully designed molecular structure surfactants are designed to surround grime particles on a microscopic level, lifting and encapsulating them in the water, ready to be purged from surfaces during your rinse.
We offer stand-alone cleaning shampoos that can tackle serious soiling in this way, and in the case of Caramics Enhancing Shampoo we can even add (or top up) Si02 protection as you wash. Not only that but our car shampoos are pH neutral making them kind to surfaces and previously applied protection layers. In other words, they will never degrade wax, sealants or ceramic coatings.Car shampoos are always for use during the contact wash stage, and you can see how to get the most from yours in our article
Contact Wash The Safest Way.
The Auto Finesse Car Care Range includes the very best car and dedicated wheel shampoos available, and these include:
Lather Car Shampoo: A must have for the ultimate swirl-free wash,

Formulated from our unique blend of sophisticated cleaning agents, surfactants and highly concentrated lubricants, this pH-neutral, tangerine shampoo is designed to create a rich, thick foam that breaks down, lifts and lubricates any abrasive particles without degrading wax and sealant layers or coatings. Once grime is fully lubricated and suspended in the Lather solution, it can be rinsed away without leaving behind any residue. Lather has been engineered purely as a powerful cleaning product, it contains no waxes, shining agents or rinse aids.
Revolution Wheel Soap: A shampoo specifically designed for use on alloy wheels,
Revolution Wheel Soap is not only tough on grime, but friendly on wheel protection layers and suitable for the most delicate wheels. As well as being able to tackle common painted, lacquered and powdercoated wheels, this is ideal product for those wishing to deep-clean expensive split rims and wheels with other specialist finishes including bare mental, chrome, polished and anodised. Revolution contains significantly more degreasing agents than regular car shampoo, making this formula an advanced deep-cleansing wash that's ideal for breaking down and lifting away harsh contaminants, particularly brake dust and can be uses as a stand alone shampoo and also for ‘brushing-in’ other cleaning agents like
Imperial Wheel Cleaner.
Caramics Enhancing Shampoo: A highly-concentrated blend of pH neutral surfactants and special lubricants,
Caramics Enhancing Shampoo has been developed to safely loosen and lift grime away from wheels and bodywork, all the while enhancing gloss and actively boosting the life of ceramic coatings. Ideal for maintenance washes, this product is capable of adding a layer of Si02 protection itself, or can be used to compliment our range of exterior Caramics Protection Kits prolonging the performance of their respective ceramic resins on every wash. This powerful, deep-cleaning solution cuts through grime but enhances gloss, protection and water beading.
