- In this video I’m cleaning this filthy suv , clearing out the grime from hidden places and reviewing Wowo’s Automotive Detailing car cleaning products, will they perform as good as they look?, Is it all looks & no substance?, watch the video and enjoy!
This is part one of a series of videos I’m doing from Wowo’s Automotive Detailing, a brand I’ve wanted to try out for a number of years and finally get the chance to use the products, I’m really excited to get using them.
The products in the video were sent free of charge by Wowo’s to see what I thought of them, it’s not a paid advert or a promotion on their behalf and the video review is based on my own opinions on the products, it is GENUINELY my OWN opinion.
Wowo’s is a car detailing brand established in Scotland back in 2013, expanded rapidly with the help of The Rag Co in 2019 to distribute the brand across the USA but sadly the brand folded but now IT’s BACK!!
New Owners and a new location , still based in Scotland so I’m really excited to be bringing a series of videos to you showing you the features and benefits of the products , as well as some of the downfalls.
That’s what a true review is all about!!

One thing with your reviews Graeme is the total honesty... A point others should take away! 👌
Thanks mate 😍
Another excellent video Graeme, looking forward to next weeks to see how the products cope with the maintenance wash those dilutions on the shampoo are rather hefty compared to a lot of other brands
Thanks Dave, was a real surprise when I calculated the dilution I must say 🥹
I’ll never criticise EZ car care again for their hefty dilutions 🤣
Cracking video mate, pure honesty despite being sent the product, something that we don't see enough of anymore!! Was expecting a lot more suds at that dilution - and you know my views on shampoos - nothing more than a lubricant for your wash pads!
Brilliant editing, cracking music choices... Just all round top video as always 👌🏼
Thanks Mark!, I never have seen anything other than jealousy that something was sent out free, I’d review anything the same whether I bought it or not, anything else is just dishonest.
I was expecting never ending suds from the shampoo and difficult to work with but you saw it was just like any other , quite odd but the shampoo is one product I have come to like, you’ll see why next week 😀
@@GMDetails already looking forward to it mate 👍🏼
Great video as always and your honesty is always refreshing , another snowfoam which I think cleans very well is Squidink Alkofroth ,looking forward to the next video 👏👏
Dammit I knew of this and wanted to pick some up on the Black Friday deals, @davidmcbay has been quite impressed with it I’ll def need to try some soon, thanks for the recommendation Jim 👌
Thanks for this video, finally one where I can say that I've saved money. Can't wait for Sparklean to get his Tuesday on those products 🤔
Don’t speak too soon it’s only the first part 🤣
Great review, always enjoy your videos. I was at my parents house and delete to suprise my Dad by washing his van. Anyhow in his garage was 5 litres of Holt's shampoo that I expect he paid peanuts for that has the same sort of dilution rate as that one. Also I think your right, the wash mit probably does more cleaning than most shampoos, just through the scrubbing action. Very true on snowfoam as well, I've used various ones and it seems to me only bilt hamber really shifts any grime. I find it very therapeutic to use but you get far better cleaning off a citrus.
Thanks mate, after using various snowfoams all year I tried Shiny Garage Citrus Oil and absolutely destroyed the dirt on the car , so for me most of what I have can really go straight in the bin!
Holt’s Wash n Wax was it? 🤣🤣 just use it neat 🤣🤣🤣
@@GMDetails yeah wash and wax 😂.
great detailer, great reviewer also
Thank you very much 👌
Nice honest appraisal as always👍🏼
I’m sure I’ve seen reviews saying this is one of the best shampoos about but not heard the dilution ratios mentioned before. 2 or 3 washes from a bottle if you follow those instructions is pretty poor isn’t it. And have to agree on the RTU wheel cleaner and APC it’s not going to last long and work out expensive so not for me.
The bottles do need the labels updated but as the new owner has taken on board all the old stock then labels won’t change till this lot is sold out, so next week I use them as I would normally for a maintenance clean, then I’ll give my thoughts on the first 5 I’ve used so far, thanks for being always one of the first to watch Nick, appreciated as always mate 👍
Nice one again Graeme 👍. Don't know about car shampoos don't have cleaning power though. They are designed to work with a sponge or mitt. Not as a stand alone. I see it in a simple way like using a handsoap. Using just water won't clean your hands properly. Using a decent soap will. Off course you'll need some agitation and with a car that will come from the mitt.
Same with dishwashing soap. Try doing the dishes without the soap. It will be a pain in the ****.
Every cleaning action has a circle. Time, temperature, mechanical energy and chemical energy. Up one and you can reduce on another.
So you can take out the shampoo (chemical) but you'll have to up something else from that circle. Don't know if you want that.
I also can't imagine that all these manufacturers put so much effort in designing a shampoo that doesn't do anymore than just providing a lubricant.
Well that's my thoughts about this topic.
Maybe there is a way to start testing this topic. Will make a nice video.😃
Ahhh but dishwashers use a soap without contact agitation , only water 😅 but yeah it was just something I was triggered by people saying ‘great cleaning power’ when they’re talking about the mitt 🤣
Even taking out the shampoo will clean your car but it’ll be scratched to hell 🥴
@@GMDetails 😂 will scratch for sure. The mechanical energy with a dishwasher is provided by the jets. Do the dishes by hand and it is provided by the brush/sponge.
With a car it's the comination between the pressure washer and after that your mitt.
I find it interesting and maybe a chance to do a video about the difference between car shampoos.
If I'm not mistaking you are in a way close to the guys from Garage Therapy. I bet they can explain which ingredients they use in their shampoo to get that cleaning power. Talking about cleaning power and Garage Therapy, their decon shampoo really has got some power to it. Will even remove old protection from your car😃👍
Yeah I doubt GT is giving anything away there 🤣
Decon is amazing , you can clean everything with just that one chemical it’s amazing 🙌🏻
@@GMDetails I bet they won't😅 but maybe they or another chemist can explain what it is that makes a car shampoo deliver on it's claims.
Another cracker as always. Iv lost my love for detailing and the social media side lately as you know we've discussed but your videos always pull me back in. Honest, detailed reviewed with all aspects covered as usual. Topped off with great editing. As far as the brand goes it really seems to have a solid base there but so many missed opportunities like the instructions on the bottles and the website. Each to there own but I also think the whole branding is dated as well. Looking forward to the second video too. 👍
Thanks Andy!, yeah deffo a solid base of products in the line up and I’ve got loads more to use on the channel.
I think it’s best staying away from social media at times as it just gets too much and overloads you. I’ve been meaning to go and do stuff and got drawn into it before you know it hours have passed & it’s a wasted day, then I get annoyed at myself.
The branding was redesigned by The Rag Co in 2019 I believe or at least had a hand in the redesign, previous to that they were using those little finger triggers that just make you angry 🤣 so some improving was done.
Look forward to reading your thoughts on the next one mate 👌
Cracking video , I'm glad it wasn't just me when it come to the shampoo dilutions that think that's a little much , there's another brand I have at the moment that has very similar dilutions for a shampoo , when I read it I though the calculations in my head were wrong at first , seems a little much , very interested to see what it will be like at lower dilutions , top job 😁
Thanks Darren , was talking to Rab there about it and it does seem nuts!, other than that I’m not spoiling next weeks 🤣
@@GMDetails I mean yeah definitely not even 4 washs a bottle at that ratio makes it rather expensive, looking forward to your next video
Good introduction to the brand, I used to use ready to go products all the time but now the more I learn from you & others the less I use them the more I look at dilutions and even (the head-scratching) PIR. You nearly killed me with laughing when you produced a commercial wheel 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I mean you and I both know that was a puddle jumper not a truck wheel, 316/65 R22.5 that's what I'm riding on!!!!!!
Snowfoams are a bit of a marmite thing, I mean take our friend Martin@ocd, if it can't clean like it says on the bottle then bye bye 👋 👋. Its the same with all products I suppose really, if they say they can tackle heavy grime/traffic film etc then I and others would expect it to do a decent job, not perfect because as you said it's part of the whole process. Can't wait for part 2 though, keep up the good work.
Thanks Paul!, that van has a tacho so commercial 🤣🤣 but to clean one that we’re used to would take the whole bottle on one wheel which is my bugbear, RTU products 🥴
I’m really moving away from snowfoams more and more , some I haven’t used in over a year and I need a clear out as I won’t be using them again, conversations about different types of grime and seasons are all BS in my opinion, I’m with Martin!, either it works or it’s gone 🚮
@@GMDetails couldn't agree more if it don't work word gets round quick. As for the van, please just cos it's got a tacho fitted the question really should be does the driver eat Yorkies???????🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used WoWo's quite regularly a few years ago and found their customer service was brilliant & then it changed. No answer on the phone and no returned calls so I didn't go back but I must say that the wheel cleaner was brilliant. I had recently bought a Land Rover and the alloy barrels had a yellow sheen on them that no cleaner was shifting. When i explained this to the guys they explained that the chemical had all the characteristics of an acid but was not acidic. The yellow tinge was no more after one use. It will be interesting to see what you think of the other products in the range. I think I have used them all. They seemed a little pricey if I remember but they did seem to have regular special offers maybe this is still the case.
New owner now John, last guy Fraser was a complete tw*t, too busy seeing where his next £££ were coming from & failing 😅
Yeah I wanted to show what the wheel cleaner was capable of as it’s completely different to any other being alcohol based , very innovative and extremely effective but not for a regular clean, a wheel shampoo would certainly compliment the range there!!
They recently did a 50% off the entire range sale at Black Friday but there’s a trap not to fall into selling at vast discounts like EZ car care , it only works for them as they shift huge volumes of product.
Spoiler alert the pink unbranded bottle on the video not used yet is their original QD and so far , that has been my absolute favourite product I’ve tried , I’m really looking forward to trying the Crystal sealant too! Certainly lots more to come from wowo’s here 👍
@@GMDetails I look forward to your review of Crystal Sealant and too see how you get on with it., I think that GT CS caught my eye and I only used it once but I will see how you get on. Their QD I'm not sure I used. Originally there were joint owners I was told does that mean neither of them are involved now. Are they still at Port Glasgow premises.
The only one I knew was Fraser and he’s gone, I don’t actually know what the new guys name is or it could maybe be the other party as he has spoken about the early formulas etc 🤔
They are still showing on Google as being in Port Glasgow but they’ve actually moved to Aberdeen
Awesome video mate as usual! I've had the same thought myself on whether a shampoo cleans the paint. I have always been adament that the mechanical abrasion is what really does it and the shampoo is to add slickness and uncapsulate the dirt to avoid scratching. However I am sure now that shampoo does carry cleaning properties along with it. It's something I guess we will never know. 🤣🤣 (Sean) I've changed my name on here lol
What a great name Sean, loved trigger happy tv 🤣
Yeah slickness & mechanical abrasion = cleaning is the formula I expect , interesting though 😀
@@GMDetails exactly that 🤣🤣 IM IN THE LIBRARY
🤣🤣🤣 you getting a giant squirrel costume? 🤣🤣🤣
Great video mate. I’m local to WoWos and thought about trying their products but think I’ll stick with my go to brands for now. On the shampoo/mitt point - can see the logic behind the theory but that’s like saying it’s hands that clean your hair and not shampoo - think it has to be a combo of good cleaning power in a shampoo and agitation by a good quality mitt.
Oohhh another interesting point , would applying shampoo to your hair without agitation clean it?, doubt it 😅
Remember I’ve only had time to try out a handful of the products so far I’m really looking forward to trying out Crystal sealant soon, their QD is already pretty impressive 👍
@@GMDetails Will reserve judgement until the next instalment! 👍🏻
This review was going to end with the ‘ignoring the instructions’ to see what would happen but the video would have gone on far too long for most people and I really wanted people to see the whole thing so 2 parts it is, but what won’t change is the ridiculous dilution recommendations on those labels, people would easily be put off only getting 4 washes from a £10 bottle of shampoo
Another great review 👍🏻
I’ve had the same thoughts regarding shampoo and came to the conclusion that it’s the mitt/pad that is going to make the biggest difference.
The shampoo should be slick and help capture the lifted dirt but I don’t think they necessarily have their own cleaning power.
If I used any shampoo, with kitchen paper as the contact medium on the car it would still take the dirt off
Thanks mate!, exactly, I’m going to go more into detail with it next week as the video was just going on too long so it does kinda look like I was picking on this shampoo where I was just intending to highlight a niggle I had when reading some online reviews who kept saying it had great cleaning power 🫣
I totally agree the shampoo is pretty much a lubricant for the mitt , I just found it an interesting conversation and maybe would make someone think about it like I did 😅
Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Good video Graham on what seem very underwhelming products. I just keep thinking on nearly all videos that i get better results using GT products at sensible ratios & that's not down to my technique or ability. Would add though that rightly or wrongly i use a spray/rinse sealant after every wash ( cos i'm lazy 😀).
Thanks Alan, yeah I absolutely detest ready to use products but they do suit some people, for me the snowfoam could be great if it actually cleaned a little better which GT & BH does so well, spray /rinse sealants are getting better all the time I’ll probably not be far behind you using them all the time as I get cramp in my hands waxing & buffing 🥹
@@GMDetails Graham,, Some of the detailing products are an absolute money pit & if it wasn't for honest unbiased reviews from people like yourself many folk would be out of pocket & disappointed. Ihate buffing etc.. I use the spray/rinse sealants through a foam lance because you get more even coverage and don't lose the product in the wind. There is no need to pay £20 odd for a bottle either, i buy it when it's on offer.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Superb Graeme, I seen ur post on Insta but I have to say I enjoyed this 20min video, you covered a good amount of info, I look forward to seeing ur dilutions video 👍🏻
PS: The whole shampoo thing has got me curious now 🤔
Ah ha!!, I’m glad I’ve got you thinking. You’ll be out next time pouring shampoo down your car and watching it do nothing without a wash mitt 🤣
Thanks for the feedback on the video , I’ve still a heck of a lot of products to get through so there will certainly be more videos on wowo’s to come 😁
@@GMDetails yeah, having seen those dilutions for the shampoo, what about using it as a spray on shampoo rather than in the bucket? But 180ml is a crazy amount, especially compared to the GT and BH, especially BH that's super concentrated, so is the shampoo not meant to help encapsulate the dirt in the mitt whilst helping prevent scratching and swirls?
Personally I don’t like the idea of foaming a shampoo, as the foam could potentially become too much for the mitt and cause the mitt to skip over the dirt and not clean anything, I’m happy using shampoo the traditional way 😄
@@GMDetails what do u prefer, Noodle or Microfiber?
@@SomeMadRandomPerson def Microfibre now , was noodle for years but I now see there’s so much more feeling with a microfibre wash pad /mitt
Good stuff 👍 completely underwhelming products though
Thanks Trev!, completely different opinion to ALL the other reviews on TH-cam of the products I used so far tho 🥴
@@GMDetails we are always searching for the next best/quickest/longest lasting products available, my shed is groaning with them but it’s amazing how I’ve gone full circle in 3 years back to bilt hamber autofoam, surfex hd and Mitchell and king pure shampoo, could have saved literally thousands 🤔
@@trevdavis9234 I know what you mean, it’s like the likes of Bilt Hamber get their chemicals from a secret supplier and they’re keeping it that way 🤣
Garage Therapy are investing continually on achieving the best there is , they’ll either become top or die trying 😅
