Bear Car Care Luminous Wax Shampoo Review

What We Say

What is it?

Taken from the Bear Car Care website;

Luminous is a luxurious shampoo which uses advanced technology to help blend high quality waxes with our premium shampoo formula.

Just like all our shampoos, Luminous will provide a very slick and bubbly foam to help your mitt glide over your paintwork. It is safe on other waxes and sealants but tough on dirt and grime. Luminous will help leave a protective waxed finish after your wash, perfect for a quick or top up wash.

How we Tested it:

We have been using Luminous for several months now, during which time we utilised it as our shampoo of choice for maintenance washes in our sister brand. We looked at the finish given, feel of the product and effectiveness as a shampoo.

We Liked:

• Gives an incredible wet look shine to paintwork. Really does leave a waxed effect.
• Economical in its use, small amount needed for great results.
• Smells great, nice bubblegum scent.
• Really slick feeling under the wash mitt, feels totally paint safe.

We didn't like:

• Quite expensive in 5L form compared to rivals.
• Wax properties whilst effective can take away from an existing LSP on the vehicle by becoming the top most layer.

Overall

Beat Car Care received quite possibly our greatest ever review with Immaculate their premium shampoo. In a sense, this could almost be to the disadvantage of Luminous as it had so much to live up to for us. As such we tried to view it as a standalone product and doing just that, its superb. A real high gloss finish coupled with great shampoo qualities in terms of slickness and cleaning power make this a real quality shampoo that leaves an awesome deep finish. Luminous is the ultimate show shampoo. End of. Having said that"¦Immaculate still would have us reaching for our money. Just.
