Astonish Car Care might not be the most well known brand, in
fact I hadn't heard of them until I saw a bottle of their wash and wax crystal
clear shampoo in a discount warehouse. A decent sized bottle of this stuff was
priced at 99p! At that price I couldn't resist. The bottle promises a crystal
clear finish and a coat of wax at the same time, not the first time a product
has made this claim.
The liquid inside is yellowish and quite thick, smelling citrusy.
Mixing half a cap full with a bucket of warm water soon turns it into a bucket
of suds, so far so good. After washing the car over with water, I applied the
suds to my car with a Kent Microfibre noodle mitt. The astonish wash and wax
removed the dirt easily bringing the paint up to a good shine. Now as with other
wash and waxes like the Turtle Wax Zip wax I would use this product purely as a
shampoo. Although it does give a waxy shine, I don't believe it'll protect like
a wax.
I would highly recommend this product as a budget shampoo
and one that cleans very well. I'm soon going to be reviewing a shampoo from my
friends over at Ninja Shine and it'll be interesting to see how it compares to
a budget end car shampoo.
