Great Product – So much easier to use for wipe down than chamois. Just throw and drag over the surface, water beads are swept away or absorbed.

Garbage, judgemental rubbish – The back of the spray pack waffles on about how dash products should and shouldnt do this and that....all crap.... Then it goes onto basically say… Read more

that people who want shiny plastics are stupid... Well, this stuffs no better than armorall, only thing is it doesnt actually produce a shine. I bought a 20l drum of reco sheen and it works a lot better than this garbage. Been using it on trucks now for the last 10 years, no cracks etc so if its good enough for a daily working vehicle copping endless abuse why did i get sucked in thinking this bowdens garbage was any better. 100% silicon free.... Who cares. News flash plastic is made from oil, putting an oil or synthetic polymer etc onto plastic designed to penetrate and protect is not a bad thing, and if you like it shiny then who cares.

And my old bottle of bowdens wash actually seperated just like the cheap crap kitten stuff so i wouldnt trust their marketing crap.

Best Wash By Far – This is by far the best car wash I have ever used! So easy to use, slippery slimy feel, and just seems to clean so well. Also appears to apply more… Read more

hydrophobic stuff as you wash. Rinse down is easy and the wipe down with a Big Green Sucker does a great job.

Good Stuff – This works great for the interior and engine bay. Be careful with the white stenciling for interior controls on older cars, my car is 17 years old… Read more

and it was pretty chalky so the orange cleaner took the loose stuff off. Work well around the house as well for stain removal.

and buff off, but there appears to be a greasy residue and the product will not remove it. My vehicle is 8 months old. I have made several attempts to clean.

Shame – Easy to apply but when it is ready to polish left streaks and hard to remove.Shame as most of their other products work well except for the No Pong.

Was at Autobarn Majura Park, was looking for something to revive my utes tonneau cover. Saw this product, thought I’d try it. What a disappointment.… Read more

Have applied it 6 times and it still looks cr@p. Previously used Omikron Pro-Sheen with great results, should’ve stuck with it. May as well have just sprayed water on it! Would not recommend at all.

Shiny car the easy way – Bowdens Own after glow is a really amazing product. You simply wash your car and give it a good rinse then dry the water off with a damp microfibre… Read more

cloth that has been sprayed with the product. That's the bit I was sceptical about..you dry the car with a WET cloth. The water just dissipates after which you buff the car with a decent dry microfibre cloth to a brilliant shine. You use it on all surfaces including windows and it all gets shiny.

I use it on my cars and motorcycle and love it.

It might seem expensive at $29.00 a bottle but I just wait for the regular 20% off sales at the various auto parts stores

Just cheap carwash with a nice smell – Seperated in the bottle. Admittedly it was over 12 months old but ive got other car wash thats over 20 years old that still works a treat. Its just… Read more

average car wash with a scent in it. No noticable diference to any other. Just make sure you wash whatever you use off well. Overhyped and over priced.

Bloody Good Stuff – After much research into Ceramic coatings, I decided instead to use Bead Machine for my two cars, caravan and boat. Used Flash Prep, twice, to remove… Read more

old waxes. Little bit of work but quite easy. Then followed instructions to apply Bead Machine. So easy to apply and the hydrophobic whatever is the best I have seen. Initially I used cheapy microfibre cloths but have recently purchased Big Green, Big Softie-Blue and Drop Bear cloths. They are so good to use.

So easy to rinse and wash, using Nanolicious Wash and wipe down using the Big Green Sucker.

What ripping OZ product, thank you Bowden’s – What ripping OZ product, I left my wife in the car doing Sudoku while I went off to pay bills, while away she had an itchy ear so scratched it not… Read more

noticing the Biro still in her hand, I had Biro on the hood lining, the staff at Autobarn were very helpful as they went through the ranger of cleaners they had, & for my problem recommended Bowden’s Fabra Cadabra which I used it with fantastic results. The hood lining on my Golf had an indented honey comb effect so I was concerned heavy rubbing was going to rough up & pill the fabric, I just dabbed & softly rubbed the areas & after several goes the Biro completely came out with zero damage to the lining, I really was amazed, I thought there was going to be at least a slight stain mark left but no, Thank you Bowden’s. Isn't it nice to see not everything is made in China.

A Quality Product – I bought another brand of wheel cleaning brush but found the handle to be too short and being made of thin wire with bristles attached any firm… Read more

pressure bent it away from the wheel barrel surface. The handle was made of shiny plastic and it slid out of my hand on numerous occasions. So on seeing the Bowden Flat Head Brush for wheel barrels I bought it. It's so much easier to use with a non slip handle coupled with a knuckle protector so your knuckles don't make sudden and painful contact with the wheel face. The cover is removable to enable you to wash it or replace it when it becomes worn. The whole brush is made from strong plastic so it won't rust or scratch your wheels. Yes the price is higher than most wheel cleaning brushes, but this is a quality product and quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten. Highly recommended
