Vantage Detailing Shampoo Review

What We Say

What is it

Taken from the Vantage Detailing website; Vantage Detailing's Shampoo is a thick shampoo in a luminous pink colour and bubble gum fragrance. This shampoo is highly concentrated and thick. It cleans dirt and other contaminates easily without removing any existing protection.

How we tested it:

We have been putting a sample of the shampoo through its paces on several different vehicles including ceramic coated, wax protected and heavily soiled cars. We looked at cleaning power, lubricity and quality of the product.

We Liked:

• Very thick shampoo with high lubricity giving both a quality and safe feel to the product in use.
• Slick across the paintwork surface.
• Leaves little to no residue on the bodywork yet foams very well in the bucket.
• Highly economical with only a capful required.
• Good cleaning power, yet safe on existing paintwork protection making it an ideal maintenance shampoo.

We Didn't Like:

• Comes in at £11.49 for 500ml. Rivals offer similar dilutions for less outlay initially.

Overall:

One of the better shampoos we have had on test certainly. Which in itself is quite an accolade as generally in the detailing world it is hard to make a bad shampoo, it is more the subtle differences between them and this is where Vantage's effort scores well. We haven't seen many products which leave such little residue yet offer such lubricity - often high suds shampoos on the bodywork leave residue but are slick and low suds aren't as slick. Overall it is hard to flaw the shampoo as it does everything that you want from a high end car shampoo and whilst also being kind to existing protection. The only thing that may deter people from rival brands is price, particularly as brand loyalty remains probably with shampoos more than anything for people. A very capable product.
