REVIEW - Autobrite Direct 'Purple Velvet' shampoo

Post by nick_s » Sun Apr 13, 2014 8:42 pm

WHAT IS IT, AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
Purple Velvet

We designed Purple Velvet Shampoo to give our customers everything they could ever want in a shampoo! High concentration of up to 1500-1, luxurious suds, high gloss finish, a slick feel when washing your car, PH Neutral safe for all paint surfaces and of course the fragrance - its Juicy Fruit smell!!

Creates a lovely luxurious shampoo for your car and is so cost effective with only needing one capful to one 15 litre bucket!! Oh and of course you can add more Purple Velvet for a even greater suds in your bucket and a more intense fruity wash!

As you look at this magical product you will notice that we have created a pearl like effect to our shampoo to give you a greater look to the product! Its quite amazing!

So all you need in a quality shampoo that will leave a lovely finish on your car!


£12 for 500ml
£20 for 1L
£42 for 5L

APPLICATION METHOD AND DESCRIPTION:
It is really easy. I used a single capful for one wash (my Prelude), and a double for another wash (neighbours MG ZS) to see if there was a tangible difference. In honesty, no, stick with one, it's plenty.

I applied the capful to a 12L bucket, gave it a quick blast with the pressure washer to mix thoroughly and washed using my AB Gauntlet washmitt. Wash in straight lines as usual, top to bottom, using the two bucket method.

CONCLUSIVE COMMENTS:
I'll be honest, I love it. It's slick, smells amazing in use, goes a very long way and cleans well. I thought I'd found my favourite shampoos in Valet Pro Wash & Protect or AB Banana Gloss, but this has trumped them both. I was huffing the washmitt as I was washing the car just to get more of the waft of Juicy Fruit. I also like the streak free finish it leaves on the bodywork.

WOULD YOU BUY IT AGAIN?
Try stopping me. I got my hands on the 500ml bottle to try first of all. I'll be going for the better value larger options when this one has run out!

Looks Great!

I had Demonshine Snowfoam that I used first time on my car, It was the simple one that you just attach to the end of your hose pipe.. It was nice but the concentration wasn't that great so I had to use a lot more then I would have though. It was nice but not the best. I will be trying this purple velvet soon and thank for the review. 8-)

If it's your first time claying this car, you will be shocked. Lower half of the car will likely yield shed loads of tar and contaminants. BUT, the difference will be night and day. Smooth paint = 8-)

Did you have to drown that cat first, or did it get in the bucket voluntarily?
