Ammo Boost Winter Wash Unboxing

I ordered Ammo NYC's Boost after watching the release video.

We get really nasty winters and there is so much road salt and crap being thrown on the roads. Corrosion is a big problem because of the large fluctuations in temperatures and weather in March.

Boost is what I have been looking for since I have started detailing and the answer for additional protection while washing road salt and grime off your vehicle.


The only place to purchase boost is Ammo NYC's website and costs $25. Shipping on all order is a $10 flat rate. Their shipping is what prevents me from ordering their other items. Other detailing shops will most likely give you free shipping or a discounted rate if you have large orders.


Boost wrapped in some paper.


Boost comes in the standard Ammo 16 oz bottle with nice clean labelling. 

Review: 
I poured a small amount of Boost into a 5 gallon bucket as shown in the video and Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax. I could tell the difference immediately just by the amount of suds and foaming action coming out of the bucket. As I dipped my wash mitt into the bucket, I noticed the water was much more slippery than without boost. The same slippy and yet smooth feeling could be felt while washing my car.

Boost can be very helpful if you have hard water and can't get a lot of suds out car soap. It definitely does what it is supposed to do and the bottle will last a long time with only a couple of squirts in each wash bucket.

Time will tell if Boost protects against corrosion. If Boost minimizes or eliminates corrosion than the $25 per bottle is well spent.

In the past I would dump a capful of Optimum No Rinse because of the high lubrication and protection against scratching while washing. However, it seemed like No Rinse decreased the amount of suds. Boost doesn't have that issue and in fact, increases the amount of suds by a lot.

I still can't get over $10 shipping. If Larry can lower shipping I would buy more from him.
