This stuff made a complete mess of my paintwork when i washed it on saturday.

Image

basicly it turned my red paintwork into pink blotches.

Not had any problems with the Gold Class Shampoo, and my m8 has a red Vauxhall Astra (which turn pink in the rain, nm sunshine) and he hasn't had any issues either.

Very strange that happened, I find the GCShampoo very inoffensive to paintwork, suprised it cleans anything actually it's so soft.

Do people still use T-Cut? I think it's pathetic compared to what it used to be like.

As Jos says, I've had no problems with the shampoo at all. The paint on my car is pretty crap - it had gone a nice pink colour in just over 2 years.
