Auto Body Gel

Underrated Wash

By: Dan Burrough on 2 July 2025

Fantastic wash - mostly overlooked, but is cheap (when compared to others) and doesn’t streak in the sun. Has been my go to recommendation for people who don’t wash their car well, or maybe once a year and take what seems like days to wash the product off the car - very good product. Highly recommended.

ABG - Always Bloody Good!!!

By: Steve R on 26 February 2018

Prior to trying this miracle liquid, Ive delved in products from the opposition. They all make bubbles and look the part, but Bowdens Auto Body Gel is the real deal. I found whilst washing that i did not have to apply much pressure as i would with other inferior products. Dirt, water stains, tyre shine splatters etc just come off so easily when using ABG. You only need to use the tiniest bit of product, and one bottle will last you ages... Affordable, but most importantly, it is safe to use on all paint types. Do yourself a favour, and give it a try now.

Sometimes Original Is Best

By: Chris on 3 September 2017

Not my most common wash, I use usually reserve it for when I can't avoid washing in the sun as it can dry without leaving a single streak mark! While it may not be as dreamy as Nano or as slippery as Wax Wash, it definitely still gets the job done with ease, and always leaves that amazing Bowden's shine!

Auto Body Gel how good is this stuff

By: Neil on 30 July 2017

Well what can I say, the best car wash I have ever used!!

World class.

I've loved the Auto Body Gel wash from the day you first sent a bottle from 2001, and 13 years on it's still the best product i've used. I remember how it totally blew my mind that a simple car wash could give such an incredible finish, it looked like I'd given the car a full detail and polish ! I still think the same thing every time I wash my car now with your latest formula. I've got my brother using it now and he was telling just last week how great he thinks it is too! A home made Aussie product setting the standard for the world - Peter L. - Melbourne VIC.

Never been so pleased in a car detailing product r

21 June 2017

This is the first time I?ve ever written a review and I?m doing so because I feel this has to be said. So hear goes guys. I have never been so pleased in a car detailing product range since now.I am 65 years of age and had many cars and motorcycles during my lifetime. I have always used the expensive vehicle cleaning products, some were good and some not so good.The last few years I used a German product that cost $70 dollars for a 250ml bottle. I?ve tried other products that claim to be the best, but in my opinion they either harm your vehicle or they are completely rubbish.Four days ago I decided to give Bowdens a try. I first washed the car with (Auto body gel) and was impressed by actually seeing soap suds lifting the dirt and how smooth it went on. I then hosed it down and used the Bowden chamois which I might add is absolutely brilliant. After chamoising the whole car I couldn?t believe my eyes, the car didn?t need waxing and it looked like it just rolled out from a showroom. It really looked amazing, and no streaks, smears or dried water marks.Still, I decided to use the (Auto body wax) and polished half the bonnet. Holly S***, one half looked like showroom finish the other half looked like a sparkling mirror!After polishing the whole car I just could not believe my eyes. All these years I had thought the Germans had the only magic product, but now I realise nothing compares to to these Bowden products they are the ants-pants. And once again no smears or white sticky dusty bits.Until now I have never ever in my lifetime used car detailing products that leave your vehicle looking truly unbelievably beautiful and stunning.Thanks guys, you?ve certainly got my vote. - Martin S. - Adelaide, SA.

My experience of using your wash gel.

21 June 2017

Just letting you know just how happy I am with your car wash. I have been using other leading brands products for a long time know, I came to a tour of your collection a couple of months ago and listened to your explanation of your products and what nasty stuff is in others.  I was going to finish all the 'other' products first and make the switch to 'Bowden's own', but after using your free sample of the wash gel, that I received at 'Muscle on the Mountain' yesterday I have just thrown all the other leading brand products out and replaced them with 'Bowden's Own'.  The reason is we have a 12mth old Subaru XV and had it treated with paint protection when new and the water was not beading like it should, I was going to give it a polish and wax with the other leading brands products, however using your wash gel the water is now starting to bead and the paint is smooth and conditioned.  I think another couple of washes it should be as good as new.  I don't drive this car everyday either it spends most of the week in the garage and only comes out on weekends. Thanks Bowden's Own! - Brad F - Brisbane, Qld.

Top quality products! The Auto Body Gel wash is awesome and the Tyre Sheen looks and smells great! - Simon D - Mildura VIC.

Amazing range!

21 June 2017

I have the whole range, it's amazing!! The Muffy sponge and Big Bugger chamois is the best I have ever used! I get bigger bottles of the car wash as I love it and smash through it fast!! Wheely Clean is easily the best wheel cleaner ever sold on Australian soil!! Keep up the great work!! - Rob G. - Doncastor, VIC.
