I can't find a decent shampoo for cleaning my car, I've tried autoglym, meguires, zymol, bmw's own brand. They just all seem a bit un foamy and not brilliant at actually cleaning. Any sugestions? Cheers

Will you be going to the drag and drift next week? I'm pretty sure i've got a bit left in a bottle you could try? I've got a brand new bottle waiting to be opened so you're more than welcome to have the last of my old bottle

tripple wax turtle wax i use- but always always hose the cae off 1st, then after shampoo and a good scrub with warm water, i rinse off gently via a hose in watering can (and direct hose in wheels/grill etc)
then leave for a min or 2, and get to work with microfibre cloths- dry windows 1st, then with DEMON SHINE, each panel at a time, to get it clean/shine and streak/water mark free etc, its superb stuff demon shine for regular washing

Same here maxi suds 2, I use it on my own and customers cars. It's worth saying that just because you don't get lots of suds, the shampoo isn't doing It's job, so long as your was mitt or spongy feels well lubricated that's what matters, bubbles are just aesthetic really.d6dph wrote:Chemical guys maxi suds 2 (longest name ever!) is really good, As is meguiars shampoo plus

I always use Zymol and works wonders, if you want suds etc, try a foam bath, rise, wash, dry etc.

I have to amit Maxi suds 2 is good, i just tend to prefer the Zymol Auto Wash (Natural), plus i never use a combined wash & Wax, just a good quality car wash. If i need a wax topup, i do it by hand.
