Auto Finesse Review - Citrus Power + Updates



Thanks for the next test product Auto Finesse, it couldn't have come at a better time with all the road salt and these past few weeks have been horrific trying not to clean my car for this review.

1st/2nd Product - Satin & Spirit

Satin - I still have some of the sample left as I tend to only do a couple of layers then leave my tyres 'til the next big wash. I still rate it, but I'm yet to try other tyre shine apart from AG Instant Tyre Shine. I lean towards Satin as AG ITS leaves tyre slick around my arches, whereas Satin is water-based no tyre slick is left.

Spirit - The wax is just about still holding up, in some areas there is less beading. These seem to be my bonnet, front bumper and roof.

3rd Product - Dressle

This is a fantastic interior, engine and plastics dressing. The simplicity of spray on leave to dwell for an hour then wipe is ideal when doing a full clean of your car. Recently used this on my mother's Clio too, I was impressed by the results too.

4th Product - Citrus Power

I did this 2 days ago, but time wasn't on my time. I've bought this product before on the BOGOF offer and then diluted down to 1:1 which many are doing, with no adverse affects of its cleaning ability. Prior to CP I used Rapid Dirt Shifter, but I found this mediocre when left to dwell it dries pretty quick. In this review I compared the difference of cleaning power of Citrus Power 1:1 and Rapid Dirt Shifter 'Neat'.

Along with the test product I was sent a new air freshener, IT SMELT HEAVENLY! I can't put a flavour on it.

Then I split my rear into 3 sections

CP 1:1 | Control | RDS

RDS Before ( seems less dirtier, but in shade )

RDS During

RDS After

Once the rear was jet washed off I left it to dry to see the results...

The results seem dramatically different due to the RDS drying up quicker than CP meaning CP had more time to dwell.

I then followed to spray CP over the car,then rinsed. I then washed it with a PH neutral demon shine shampoo which smells like bubblegum.

Then mopped the car with a chamois, the sun also helped.

I was sent Verso too, I suppose this was a gift from Auto Finesse, thanks! :)

I then followed dilution instructions on the bottle and used on my door shuts as these are normally forget when cleaning the outside of my car, so now having a product there's no excuse.

Missing a door sensor grommet thingy-ma-bot alongside the Oval Plate, which I'll replace as I did in my other Clio :) Linky

Haha I can explain...

I dabbed it dry with microfibers then I had no more clean microfibres other than a wet one to dry.

Sorry paintwork :(

I have some iron out and oblitarate, I'll be stripping my car for a new wax and decon it :)

I'm yet to use menz on my paintwork too.
