Step 2: Add 2-4 capfuls of shampoo to a bucket of cold or warm water.
Step 3: Using your wash mitt or detailers sponge, wash the car from the top down. We advise adopting the 2 bucket method. Rinsing the mitt with the plain water from the bucket, before taking fresh solution from the second bucket.
Step 4: Once you have washed the whole car, rinse thoroughly with an open end hose or pressure washer and dry with a microfibre drying towel or car dryer.
Why Auto Finesse Lather is Your Go-To Car Shampoo?
For car enthusiasts, the ritual of washing a vehicle transcends mere cleaning – it’s a therapeutic process, a chance to admire the curves and lines, and ultimately, a way to preserve the pride of ownership. But achieving that flawless, swirl-free finish requires more than just any soap and a bucket. Choosing the right car shampoo is paramount, and Auto Finesse Lather stands out as a premier option. We delve into the reasons why, focusing on the technical benefits of a quality pH neutral shampoo and how Lather seamlessly integrates into a comprehensive pre-wash routine, often utilising other excellent products from the Auto Finesse range.
At its core, car washing aims to remove dirt, grime, and contaminants without inflicting damage on the delicate paintwork. Traditional harsh soaps can strip away waxes and sealants, leaving the paint vulnerable and potentially causing swirl marks. This is where the brilliance of a pH neutral shampoo like Auto Finesse Lather truly shines.
The Technical Advantage of pH Neutrality:
Think of the pH scale as a measure of acidity or alkalinity. A neutral pH is around 7. Highly alkaline (high pH) or highly acidic (low pH) cleaners can be aggressive and detrimental to your car's finish.
Here's why a pH neutral car shampoo is crucial:
Preserves Wax and Sealant: pH neutral formulas are gentle and won't break down your protective layers of wax or sealant. This extends the lifespan of your detailing efforts and keeps your car looking its best for longer.
Safe for All Surfaces: Lather is designed to be safe for all exterior surfaces, including paint, glass, plastic, rubber, and even delicate trim. You can confidently wash your entire car without worrying about damaging specific components.
Reduces the Risk of Etching and Staining: Harsh chemicals can etch into paint over time, causing permanent damage. A pH neutral shampoo minimizes this risk.
Prevents Premature Fading: Aggressive cleaners can contribute to the fading of your car's paint, especially on darker colours. Lather helps maintain the vibrancy and depth of your finish.
Auto Finesse Lather: More Than Just pH Neutral:
While its pH neutral formulation is a cornerstone of its appeal, Auto Finesse Lather offers a host of other beneficial features:
Exceptional Lubricity: Lather provides a rich, slick foam that encapsulates dirt and allows your wash mitt to glide effortlessly across the paintwork. This significantly reduces the chances of inflicting swirl marks, which are the bane of any car detailer.
High Concentration: A little Lather goes a long way. Its concentrated formula means you need only a small amount per wash bucket, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Pleasant Scent: Washing your car should be an enjoyable experience. Lather boasts a signature scent that makes the process more pleasant without being overpowering.
Excellent Cleaning Power: Despite its gentle nature, Lather effectively lifts and removes dirt, grime, and road film, leaving your car clean and ready for the next stage of detailing.
The Pre-Wash Powerhouse: Setting the Stage for Lather:
While Lather is a fantastic wash shampoo, its effectiveness is amplified when used as part of a thorough pre-wash process. This multi-stage approach minimises the amount of dirt you're directly scrubbing on the paint, further reducing the risk of scratches.
Here’s how Lather fits into a pre-wash routine, often incorporating other Auto Finesse products:
Pre-Rinse: Start by rinsing the car thoroughly with a pressure washer to remove loose dirt and debris.
Pre-Cleanse with Citrus Power: Apply Auto Finesse Citrus Power, a powerful citrus-based pre-cleaner, to areas with heavier soiling like the lower doors, bumpers, and wheel arches. Its formulation breaks down stubborn grime and bug splatter.
Snow Foam with Avalanche: Blanket the entire vehicle with a thick layer of Auto Finesse Avalanche Snow Foam. This pre-wash product further loosens and lifts dirt particles, encapsulating them within the foam before they even come into contact with your wash mitt. Avalanche's pH neutral formula ensures it won't strip existing protection.
Rinse Again: Thoroughly rinse off the Citrus Power and Avalanche Snow Foam, taking the loosened dirt with them.
The Lather Wash: Now it's time for Auto Finesse Lather. Using the two-bucket method (one for wash solution, one for rinsing your mitt), gently wash the car panel by panel, starting from the top and working your way down.
Final Rinse: Rinse the car thoroughly with clean water.
Completing the Detail with Auto Finesse:
After using Lather, you can further enhance your car’s appearance and protection with other Auto Finesse products:
Aqua Coat: Apply Auto Finesse Aqua Coat, a rinse-aid sealant, to provide instant hydrophobic protection and aid in drying.
Drying Towel: Use a plush Auto Finesse Aqua Deluxe Drying Towel to gently dry the car, minimizing the risk of water spots and streaks.
Detailing Sprays: Finish with a quick detailer like Auto Finesse Finale for added gloss and to remove any lingering water spots or fingerprints.
Choosing Auto Finesse Lather Car Shampoo is an investment in the long-term beauty and health of your vehicle's paintwork. Its pH neutral formula, combined with its exceptional lubricity and cleaning power, makes it an indispensable part of any serious car enthusiast's detailing arsenal. When integrated into a comprehensive pre-wash routine, ideally utilizing other high-quality Auto Finesse products, Lather helps you achieve a professional-level shine while ensuring the utmost care for your prized possession.
