Autoglym Ceramic Wash and Protect Shampoo revolutionizes car cleaning by combining thorough cleansing with ceramic protection in one step. The gel-like formula applies a thin but durable SiO2 layer that creates exceptional hydrophobic properties, causing water to bead and roll off surfaces. Testing showed vehicles remained cleaner for weeks after application, with dirt repelling off the paintwork effortlessly. The shampoo excels on daily drivers and high-mileage vehicles, reducing wash frequency while maintaining showroom shine. Its unique formulation feels different from traditional shampoos during application but leaves surfaces remarkably slick after rinsing.
The ceramic layer enhances gloss and provides UV protection without the complexity of professional ceramic coatings. While more expensive than basic shampoos, it eliminates the need for separate protection products. Some users may find the gel texture requires adjustment compared to foamy shampoos, and proper rinsing is essential to avoid any potential streaking. The long-term protection and time savings make it ideal for enthusiasts seeking maximum results with minimal effort.
