This is an introduction to AGD Blue Edge car shampoo, provided as a product sample. Since the original post does not include an actual washing process or before-and-after observations, I’ve organized this around the product description and the stated directions for use.
What kind of car wash is Blue Edge shampoo for?
Blue Edge is a mild alkaline car shampoo that emphasizes cleaning power and lubrication for bucket mitt washing. It is described as having greater cleaning power than a typical neutral car shampoo, but the original post does not include a direct comparison.
AG Detail is introduced as a brand launched for consumers seeking more detailed washing in auto grooming. The product covered here is the 800ml Blue Edge car shampoo.
The product description highlights the cleaning power of its mild alkaline formula and foam that clings to the painted surface for a long time. The original post does not record the actual level of dirt removal or how long the foam lasts.
What are the bucket wash and foam lance dilution ratios?
The stated dilution ratio is 1:1000 for bucket washing and 1:10–1:20 for use in a foam lance. For a 20L bucket, the recommendation is one capful, or about 20ml.
Lubrication for mitt washing is also presented as a key feature. However, there are no real-use observations in the original post to support the phrase “zero scratches,” so it is difficult to make a definite claim about scratch prevention.
How are the scent and bottle designed?
The product description says it uses vegan fragrance. It also mentions fragrance-related patents and certifications, but the original post alone does not make their scope clear, so I have not treated this as a claim of human safety or allergy prevention.
The bottle has a square cube shape and is fitted with a narrow-spout cap.
The scent is introduced as fig floral musk. It opens with fig, moves into iris, rose, and jasmine, and finishes with musk and amber. This is the product’s scent description, not my own impression after smelling it.
In what order should pre-wash and car shampoo be used?
The original post introduces three products in the Cube Wash line according to the type of contamination. It advises allowing the car to cool down sufficiently before use.
- Red Dissolve Dual Wash: an acidic pre-wash and car shampoo introduced for removing inorganic and mineral contamination.
- Indigo Core Pre-Wash: an alkaline pre-wash introduced for loosening stubborn grime, soil dust, grease, insect remains, and similar dirt.
- Blue Edge Shampoo: a mild alkaline car shampoo introduced for bucket mitt washing.
For typical contamination, the directions say to spray Indigo Core Pre-Wash, rinse it thoroughly before the product dries, and then proceed with a Blue Edge bucket wash. If the dirt is not severe, another suggested method is to spray thoroughly with high-pressure water and then bucket wash with Blue Edge.
For typical contamination after rain exposure or during the rainy season, the suggested combination is to spray Indigo Core, rinse before it dries, and then bucket wash with Red Dissolve. In this case as well, the post also notes using high-pressure water and Blue Edge if the dirt is not severe.
