I’ll get into detail about how this Auto Finesse product stacks up shortly, but if you want to know what I crowned as our shampoo champion, be sure to check out our guide to the best car shampoo

First Impressions

You know where you are with Auto Finesse. Classy black bottles, flip-up lids, solid detailing products. Auto Finesse Lather is no different and ticks all those boxes. I wasn’t keen on the smell, though. It’s citrussy but has a weird sort of chemical tinge to it. Not my favourite-smelling shampoo.

Features

Auto Finesse Lather is a pH-neutral car shampoo, as you would expect. Auto Finesse says it serves up a combo of advanced surfactants with highly concentrated lubricants, and that makes for easy and safe washing.

What’s It Like To Use Auto Finesse Lather Car Shampoo

Auto Finesse says you need 2-4 capfuls in your bucket. According to my measurements, one of those is about 0.5 fl. oz, so that means 1-2 fl. oz per wash. That’s about average, so I’m happy with that. You get a lot of rich foam with Lather, as its name suggests you might, and it doesn’t disappoint in terms of the washing experience. It’s lovely and slick to work with and delivered good cleaning performance. No complaints here.

The Verdict

Auto Finesse Lather is a really solid shampoo. While it perhaps doesn’t have anything that really makes it stand out in a very crowded marketplace, you can’t go wrong. It’s a really good all-rounder that you’ll be very happy with.
