NEW 4WD Cleaning Products - Bowden's Own - Review in description
So, what did I think of the latest formulas Bowden's Own has added to their product range? First, I'll explain that my Patrol has copped a hiding over the years with paint fade, dents and unfortunately little bits of rust peeking out in some parts. So, when the opportunity arose to trial these new releases, I was very intrigued to see how, or if, I could make an almost 25-year-old 4WD look good again... I was absolutely blown away to say the least!
With all these products combined together, it can make other 4WDers think you are just another one of those pavement princesses, but you actually understand the importance of caring for your cars so you can get the most out of it. Using the products as followed in this order I found will lead to fantastic results.
- 2 wash & rinse bucket kit - These buckets are great with the dirt barriers that are included in each bucket, this is to protect the sponge or pillow from the dirt on the bottom while it's sitting the bucket when you are doing other tasks.
- Dirty Times Wash - This new formula will knock that muds socks off, or should I say rocks.. Anyway, this is to designed to fight against mud, salt and even has corrosion inhibitors formulated within it, so that's a big plus in my books.
- Snow Blow Cannon - Needs no introduction, this one of the flag ship products and is a must have for your Bowden's collection.
- Mega Snow Job - Mixing this into the Snow Blow Cannon at 9:1 will make you think you're in the Vic High Country mid-winter with the amount of foam this creates, unfortunately you can't ski on it, but it is helping you fight all that built up dirt and road grime for you.
- Down & Dirty - While you wait 5 minutes for the Snow Job to do its thing, This new innovation is a potent yet gentle spray cleaner for your tire and chassis, it's designed to effectively remove all the grease, grime and minerals from your wheels and tires, once all tires are sprayed (don't forget the spare, if on the back door) it's time to whip out the little stiffy....
- The Little Stiffy - THE BRUSH, I MEANT THE BRUSH! This new brush is perfect for tire preparation in combination with the Down and Dirty cleaner before moving on to the application of Bowden's other protective products such as Sweet Rubber or Tire Sheen. It's also perfect for scrubbing the under body of your 4WD.
- The Wash Pillow - Now that you have rinsed off the car, it's time to put in the manual labor, only if you think you need to, sometimes it's not needed. This pillow is perfect for those bigger toys, made of 3 yarn microfibers consisting of 70% polyester & 30% polyamide, this blend creates one of the most effective washing materials I have ever used. Rinse off and take a moment to see how good the 4wd looks already!
- The Twisted Mother Sucker - Another Towel Bowden's have added to their range. This extra large 90x60cm, 800GSM, single sided microfiber towel with convenient hand pockets for maximum reach and coverage is the absolute bees' knees, quick and easy for all the large vehicles.
- Boss Gloss - Bowden's exclusive show day shine, couple of quick sprays of this will assist the Twisted Mother Sucker in smoothly gliding over your paint with a boss like shine afterwards.
- Under Armer - And finally another new addition to the range, 5 years in the making! As a member of the 4WD community I can confidently speak for all, and say that we all fear rust, the bane of any vehicle, especially 4WD's . This product offers genuine corrosion and rust protection without the sticky and greasy residue of traditional protectants.
All these products as mentioned, I believe are an absolute must have for any 4wd.. or any car owner for that fact, to own if they really care for their pride and joys.

    Thanks for the video Troy. I have the same awning, and even though I had watched your first video about it before I first used mine, I still made the dumb mistake of setting it up and without putting guy lines down. In short, I had the same thing happen to mine with an unexpected gust of wind on an otherwise calm day. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I want to modify mine the way you have but I wanted to know if you had any ideas about doing so while keeping the fold down legs somehow. I loved that feature over separate legs, which is what prompted me to get this particular awning in the first place. Can you think of a way to replace the broken poles but attach the legs in a different way so as to keep them fold down? Thanks again 😊
