Rating of the best car shampoos for contactless washing
Content
The composition of the car shampoo for contactless washing includes surfactants, complexing agents, foam formers, buffer acidity regulators, dispersants, pH correctors, odinizers, and a number of other components. But not all shampoos do their job equally well. The rating of the best car shampoos for contactless washing was compiled for the profile segment of the market in 2018.
Bilt Hammer Surfex HD
Shampoo, deservedly occupying the first line of the rating, due to its effective degreasing ability. As established by numerous studies, when a car moves along city streets, compounds based on highly saturated organic acids accumulate on its surface. This car shampoo actively affects just such a surface film and dissolves it, after which the solution is easily washed off under the pressure of a water jet. The amount of water required is minimal, so remote cleaning with Bilt Hamber Surfex HD does not take much time.
Autoglym
For a long time, this car shampoo was in the lead in the current ratings, but lost to the winner in terms of reduced foaming. For remote washing, this is essential because a larger amount of substance is required to completely cover the cleaned surfaces, therefore, the consumption of the composition will increase. In other respects, Autoglym is not inferior. It is also important that this shampoo needs a minimum time to act, since its water repellency is very high.
Power Maxed & Ultra Wax
A product manufactured by the British Touring Car Championship, a relatively recent addition to the auto chemical industry. The surface after remote washing with this shampoo has a deep glossy sheen, and the presence of wax in the composition gives the product high water-repellent qualities. All parts of the washed car have the same excellent surface quality.
Angelwax
Of all the promoted brands of car shampoos for contactless washing, this one turned out to be the most concentrated. It is required, of course, less, plus after washing a pleasant smell remains for a long time. Why didn't Angelwax come out on top? Because of its higher cost.
Bilt Hammer
Last year, this car shampoo became the winner of the rating, but today its characteristics are no longer enough. Yes, it washes well, but not as fast as the Bilt Hamber Surfex HD. Even excellent cleansing capabilities do not save. However, the fifth place is also not bad.
Halfords
The strength of this car shampoo is good mixing with water, and its hardness does not affect the cleaning ability. Users are also captivated by a quite affordable price, so Halfords will most likely not lose its customers. But will he get new ones? This is a question, since the required duration of the remote wash turned out to be longer than that of the compositions located in the ranking above.
HiGear
The only "American" to break into the top ten car shampoos for contactless washing. The strengths of this composition are the uniqueness of some components (which are protected by patents), all-weather, stable product quality. A lot, but not enough for the first place, because after testing, subtle iridescent stains still remained on the surface of the car.
Кarcher
The well-known, traditionally high, German quality allowed this car shampoo to enter the top ten. Why only eighth place? Because this composition cannot be attributed to shampoos for remote car washing, it is widely used in conventional washing technologies.
GraSS Active Foam Power
It was positioned by the manufacturer as the best car shampoo designed for contactless car washing. The results, however, turned out to be contradictory: in some cases, after cleaning, the car sparkles like new, in others, it leaves behind hard-to-clean stains. Perhaps the matter is in the instability of the production technology? In addition, the composition is chemically aggressive and corrodes the hands. But this is already no good, therefore - only ninth place.
Simoniz
This brand got into the top ten due to the price: it turned out to be the smallest in relation to the consumption per unit of the washed surface. This is where the merits end. Conclusion: Simoniz is a classic budget option for a contactless car wash, when the main thing is not the duration of the procedure, but the cost of car shampoo costs.
We hope that the presented rating will help car enthusiasts to better decide on the products that they intend to use for contactless washing of their cars.
