Autoglym Ultra High Definition Shampoo, 1 Litre - High Foaming Car Shampoo Leaves a Silky Smooth, High-Gloss Finish

Product Information

The durability of any coating can be impacted by many factors, such as mileage driven, weather, climate, products used for aftercare and how well the surface was prepared prior to application. If all instructions and recommended guidelines are adhered to, Autoglym UHD Ceramic Coating will provide up to one year of protection. A good shampoo will allow your wash mitt to glide over the surface with ease. You want as little tension as possible between your wash mitt and paintwork. Any little pieces of grit or debris can be dragged against the paintwork, causing scratches. That's why it's so important for shampoo or indeed snow foam to lubricant the surface, it will stop small damage to your paint.

UHD Ceramic Coating creates a tough, protective barrier for maximum resistance against the natural environment. Yes. We would encourage you polish your paintwork with Super Resin Polish in advance of Ultra High Definition Wax to ensure it is in excellent condition prior to waxing. More novel extras include this shampoo from Chemical Guys, which doubles as an insect and tar remover. Another is NanoSST's Auto shampoo, which can be used as a screen wash. Scent Ultra High Definition Ceramic Coating is the most durable paint protection product we have ever released. Throughout its scrupulous development our chemists have continuously advanced the formulation, to produce a ceramic coating refined to a degree of unrivalled depth of gloss. Wash at 30 degrees with detergent only. Do not use fabric softener and ensure to keep colours separate.

Introducing Autoglym Ultra High Definition. Breathtaking finishes, luxuriously smooth with invigorating, sensual fragrances. Ultra High Definition products turn car care into pure pleasure. A wax-infused shampoo, such as Zip Wax Car Wash & Wax from Turtle Wax, contains detergents and wax (usually carnauba) for post-wash protection. This will supplement any existing wax on your car’s paintwork. The downside is that wash-and-wax shampoos are slightly compromised in terms of both cleaning and protecting ability. No, UHD Ceramic Coating has been designed specifically for paintwork and colour coordinated plastics only.

More items to consider

The original High Definition Wax contained Carnauba Wax. Ultra High Definition Wax contains a different, purer organically refined grade of Carnauba Wax. Most car pre-washes (including snow foam) will be either pH neutral or slightly alkalic to take care of tough grime. This means a pre-wash will allow you to use a pH-neutral shampoo without compromising the cleaning results. Strong industrial traffic film removers (TFRs) will use caustic acid (basically salt) to remove contaminants. But these are best left to agricultural and industrial machinery where paint finish isn't a massive concern.

UHD Ceramic Coating offers outstanding protection, gives a stunning glass-like finish and is incredibly durable. It contains amino-functional siloxanes and reactive polymers that adhere strongly to a car’s paintwork, creating a semi-permanent protective coating on exterior paintwork and colour co-ordinated plastics. When thinking about car cleaning products, the first association has to be the best car shampoo because it's both therapeutic and productive.

It leaves the car looking immaculate, which is exactly what you want! The benefit of using UHD Shampoo with cars which have been coated with UHD Wax, it will not cause any degradation to the wax layer. Some shampoos will caused degradation to waxes, but this isn’t he case with UHD Shampoo. It is pH neutral, and is a soft, but effective shampoo. It isn’t just UHD Wax that this car shampoo can be used with, but I’m always a fan of keeping the same product line in use (where possible) when it comes to shampoo and wax so they can complement each other . Thoroughly wipe down all of the paintwork with UHD Preparation to remove any existing waxes, sealants or oils still present on the surface. Apply product directly to the Preparation Cloth and then wipe over the paintwork systematically in straight lines, ensuring all areas intended to be coated are covered. Wipe away any remaining residue with a dry part of the Preparation Cloth, turning the cloth regularly to avoid saturation. Luxurious, high foaming shampoo, with an irresistible fragrance.

A short video showing how clean the car is can be found at this YouTube link. It’s actually a demonstration of the hydrophobic properties of UHD Wax, but as the car was washed with UHD Shampoo prior to the test being carried out and it does look amazing. The UHD Wax doesn’t have any cleansers in it, so the immaculate white finish is all due to the cleaning abilities of the UHD Shampoo.

It even left the bodywork feeling smoother to the touch, a sign that this shampoo contains quality gloss enhancers to deepen the shine without relying on fillers like a wax-infused product. The fact it’s so concentrated (this bottle should do 25 washes) is another major bonus for the UHD shampoo and makes it better value for money than you’d first expect.
