Typically honest no bullshit review Mark, I’ve never used any Auto Finesse products before and I have to say it looks a very average product to me, one product I would recommend is HDD Road Rage I completed a 1400 mile road trip in the south of England this summer in 36 degree heat, bugs were well baked on and Road Rage at 5 to 1 done a great job, looking forward to the next video, keep er lit big man 👏👏👏

As you know bro, I’ve been using this for 2+ years, it’s part of my standard safe wash routine. I would always leave it to dwell. I actually spray it on the car after initial PW blast, then apply snowfoam on top. Then when i rinse snowfoam off I’m removing both. I find the 5-10 min dwell removes 90% of the bugs and very little effort is needed to remove the remainder

Hi Mark, always difficult to judge this type of product on an un protected car. However its a product I have used in the past but wouldn't spend money on it again. Keep the series going mate

Great review. Also found it being a citrus based, it’s also good for cleaning car badges, door jambs, trim etc. So it also has that multi-purpose use for the product.
I managed to clean out my cousins door jambs, and looking to give it another run, when the weathers good enough, to clean my mothers car 🙌

Disgrace! Need a VAR decision on that one I think it was lucky to make your shelf 😂

Hello Mark, I have used this citrus power from Auto Finesse, it was alright but never agitated it with a brush. I will have to give it a go.

Cheers for another informative video Mark. It's funny, I've never been tempted by auto finese. I wonder if that's because I've not seen much of it on YouTube, none of the detailers I see are using their products, so consequently I'm not buying. My shelves are littered with many brands, all of which I've seen given glowing reviews, I'm not a brand fan, I'm a fan of what works. Needless to say, I'm not going to rush out for that RTU bug remover from AF.

Great video buddy.
I used it once gave it away
I prefer a bit more bite personally
Did not perform on my testing

Auto finesse Dynamite is a concentrated citrus pre wash that can be watered down depending on the strength you need.

I’ve heard mixed things about AF but I’ve boiled it down to; if you buy into the brand image then you’ll love them, but if you go off the products performance there’s better for the money.
Loving the series 👍🏻

[PaulDoldenDetails]

As far as bug removers are concerned Autoglanz bug off is great shame you can’t dilute it as for this AF citrus looks like you have to use a lot of product to actually breakdown the baked on bug splats for me it’s a bit of a binner Mark great test mate

[pmbrowny]

Definitely teetering on the edge of the bin this one, agree it did work in a fashion but it's just too expensive because it's rtu and non dilutable.
I have used it before and found the same results as you, didn't use it on my ming mirrors tho 🤣
Keep up the good work sir 👍🏻

[DavidMcBay]

Got to agree with Nick, need a VAR decision on that.
I kind of feel, putting agitate with a soft brush on the instructions is cheating a bit, I expected more from a RTU product if I'm honest.

[PFinkoloTL]

Hello, great video. Does this also remove bug/fly poop? Do you know of a product that does a good job removing baked on fly poop?

[itsallinthedetailing]

Great video, but like many in the comments I’m not a fan of Auto finesse, I bought this from Halfords cause I ran out of my usual citrus and I threw jt away, the only product worth buying is Triple 👌🏻

[triggerhappyautos]

Lunch break viewing for me today! I've used this before and didn't really rate it as good as others. However even before agitation it still looked to do a decent enough job. Have to wonder if layered with a foam for a slight longer dwell time may have been just the ticket. I like their dillutable version dynamite though. Class content though mate as always.

[jonlinder]

Thought the was going to topple off the shelf into the bin... yet to find a dedicated bug remover that actually does what it's supposed to... and tbh should have done a separate application and agitation as opposed to a second hit... much better results using the likes of GT Zero or AG Spritzer

[GMDetails]

RTU citrus again! 😤 just like I said on the Carbon Collective one, not something I’d buy again, I’ve used the AF citrus before and although I didn’t use on bugs, it didn’t remove any grime at all from a black car, very disappointed in it I’d have binned it 😊

[adrianlawrence]

I think you were wise to deem it a winner, if only just. Unprotected and two month old bug guts was at the upper so it deserved a second chance. Maybe.

[jcvdvandd]

Good video. I have to say it isn't a product I particularly like. It's expensive and not particularly good for the purpose it states. I appreciate your channel is aimed at reviews on products, so it is beneficial for people interested in this product to gain an understanding as to how it performs. If anyone is looking at something that actually works and has bite - Koch Chemie Green Star at 10:1 is something they should consider. Only draw back is it's alkaline in nature, so there is a chance it will degrade any wax that has been applied. In my view, I'd rather make that sacrifice to ensure all contaminants (road film and bugs) are removed prior to contact washing. In any case, with the availability of spray on sealants (CARPRO Hydro2 Lite, Gyeon Wet coat etc), it is easy enough to re-top up any protection that might have degraded.
