On the weekend I bought some soapy stuff for when I wash my cars on the weekend. A mate of mine works at Autobarn and recommended me to try the Bowden's Auto Body Wash Gel in a bucket of warm water with a micro fiber sponge. I was skeptical but since it was a mate who recommended me this product I thought I'd give it a go.

In a bucket of warm/hot water, I added a cap full and let the bucket sud up as per normal. Presoaked the car with water and stuck the sponge in not expecting anything special.

What I found was that the product was able to remove the grime, and dirt from the car and not leave unsightly and damaging water marks and residue. All I did then was chamois off any residing water and the car was pristine. I was very impressed and thought, could this be good enough to wash my bike & chain with?
