How I Tested Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash
First, I diluted the Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash shampoo and observed the amount of foam it produced from the quantity instructions on the bottle. Then, I assessed how easily it ran across the panel. Finally, I inspected the amount of dirt, if any, that was left after washing. The price and how much shampoo is needed per wash were two other factors I made sure to keep in mind when writing this review.
First Impressions
Bilt Hamber’s bottles are very clean and simple, and give you a good idea of what to expect from its products. There are no frills or thrills here, just solid cleaning power. There’s no smell, either. It’s not a glamorous shampoo, but it’s performance that counts. You do get a little flip-up spout, which I really like, and it makes pouring the shampoo much easier.
Features
Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash is salt, wax and additive-free. It’s also free from colorants, perfumes or thickeners. This is about as pure as a pure shampoo gets. What Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash offers is anti-corrosive properties. That makes it especially good for washing older cars that might have stone chips and exposed bare metal. Bilt Hamber says that Auto-Wash offers class-leading long-term anti-corrosive protection on steel, which is impressive.
What’s It Like To Use Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash
Plenty of shampoos claim to be concentrated, but there are other shampoos, and then there’s Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash. You only need 0.17 fl. Oz in a 2.6-gallon bucket – that’s one teaspoon. That’s simply incredible. When other shampoos are telling you to pour 1-2 fl. oz or even more into your bucket, it’s mind-blowing to find a shampoo like Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash. There wasn’t loads of foam, but that’s not really a big deal. As you’d expect from Bilt Hamber, its shampoo delivers very impressive cleaning, and you won’t be disappointed with its performance.
The Verdict
I tried Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash in the past and wasn’t that impressed. Perhaps it’s been revised slightly because I really like how it performed. It’s not my favorite shampoo, there are others I’ve used that make cleaning a little easier thanks to a few tricks they have up their sleeves. But if you’re looking for the purest of pure shampoos, Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash is the perfect choice. Add in those anti-corrosive properties, plus how incredibly good value it is, and you’ve got a top car shampoo.
