Bilt Hamber Auto Wash – Ultra-Concentrated, High-Performance Car Shampoo
Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash is a new technology, highly powerful, environmentally friendly car shampoo, formulated to allow you to effortlessly and effectively clean your paintwork before waxing.
Bilt Hamber Auto-wash is anti-corrosive to bare steel too, ideal for owners of older vehicles which may have stone chips or exposed areas of mild steel. This is also an advantage in modern cars where the entrapment of corrosive elements carried by some detergents in folded seams accelerates the corrosion of modern vehicles.
It is very highly-concentrated, meaning that much less solution is needed to add to the water. Not only do you save money, but the added benefit of this is simple - there is less matter to remove from your paintwork prior to polishing. In fact, a single shampoo can be carried out with just a single teaspoon of auto-wash, meaning one wash will cost you around 16p!
Bilt Hamber auto-wash uses powerful surfactants to create a high foam level. This simply means that particulate matter is lifted away from the paint, where it can be safely removed with reduced risk of scratching or damage to your car’s paintwork.
Bilt Hamber is renowned for its award-winning, science-led approach to car care, developing high-performance cleaners, protectants, and corrosion inhibitors trusted by enthusiasts and professionals across the world. Every product is formulated with efficiency and effectiveness at its core, delivering exceptional results with minimal effort.
Available in 500ml & 1 Litre Bottles
Bilt Hamber Auto Wash directions:
Bilt Hamber Auto wash is ideal for use after a foam pre-wash with Bilt Hamber Auto Foam or Bilt Hamber Touch-Less
Bilt Hamber Auto-wash is a highly concentrated car shampoo - just a 5ml spoonful (1 teaspoon to a 10 litre bucket) is sufficient. The standard instructions for Auto-Wash are to put 5ml of Auto-Wash in a bucket, and fill with up to 10 litres of warm, fast flowing water to generate a lather. The suggested dilution ratio is 1:2000.
Its low viscosity ensures it pours easily – the measured amount should be emptied into a clean bucket before adding the warm water thus generating a thick lather for paintwork cleaning.
Bilt Hamber Auto-wash can be used neat as a pre-wash spot cleaner using a clean swab for removal of very stubborn oily films.
Our Take
“Why we keep coming back to this as a proper, no-nonsense shampoo.”
Auto Wash is another one of those Bilt Hamber products that quietly proves why it’s picked up awards and developed such a loyal following. It’s a fast seller for good reason — simple formulation, excellent cleaning power, and no unnecessary extras bolted on.
From a technical standpoint, the lack of colourants, waxes, perfumes, or thickeners is a big part of its appeal. What you’re left with is a highly concentrated, surfactant-driven shampoo that focuses purely on cleaning. At just 10–20ml in a full 20-litre bucket, it delivers impressive lubricity and dirt release without leaving anything behind on the paint.
In use, it feels slick without being artificially thick, rinses cleanly, and works well on protected and unprotected surfaces alike. That makes it particularly well suited to regular maintenance washes, especially if you’re running waxes, sealants, or coatings and don’t want them masked or interfered with.
It also slots perfectly into a safe wash process after a strong pre-wash. We often use it following Bilt Hamber Touch-Less or Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam, as the pre-wash does the heavy lifting and Auto Wash finishes the job with plenty of glide and a clean rinse.
Considering how little you need per wash, it also represents excellent value over time. For us, Auto Wash is a proper enthusiast shampoo — efficient, honest, and built around performance rather than fragrance or foam theatrics.
