I have always been a fan of AG Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner, however wanting to try something different (also cos I can't buy it off the back of the van anymore and it's expensive.. ;))

I was looking at CG Maxi Suds II... good or is there better. I would be buying 5L so looking at around £20...

Any advice welcome. :thumbs up:

I always just use the Autoglym stuff...was advised it was as good as anyone by a professional detailer..

The Autoglym bodywork shampoo is brilliant stuff, buff it up nicely....a tad pricey though and doesn't come in big tubs :frown:

It does Martin if you buy it in 5L tubs like I do... ;)



anyway, I have taken Scottiedoop's advice and if I don't like it, I can just sell it to her.. :thumbs up:

Also, I have finally gone over to sheepskin wash mitts. Always been a sponge monkey, but thought it was about time to give the mitts a try. :thud: We shall see how that goes.

Also bought myself some wheel brightner.... :thumbs up:

Used Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II on the red MINI since December. Very happy with is. But always happy to experiment.

Mr D, I'm startled you're parted with cash for a Meguires product.:eek:

And as for the lambswool wash mit, and dumping that raggedy sponge ..... .:thumbs up::thumbs up: At last.

Did we not give you some Costco wash mits? The noodley ones?

A.:D

Megs shampoo plus all the way for me.

Its very different from the retail stuff.
The retail Megs is OK but their pro range (not available in shops) is soooo much better.
I also have the hyper wash which I put in my foam gun.

Haven't had time to replenish my stock of shampoo so twice this week have given the car a once over with a very modest squirt of fairy liquid. Cleaned the car as well as anything else I've used (well perhaps not the sea lettuce body wash used last time I ran out which was not very good at all). it didn't touch the wax as the water beaded as quickly as it touched the paintwork. Fine and cheap:thumbs up:

Ordered some of that Megs Pro shampoo tonight.:thumbs up:

Was using Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II, and as good as it is I fancy a change.

:thumbs up: Hope your guys like the Shampoo.

I've just place a order for a stack of detailing products.:rolleyes: Including the shampoo as we had ran out and had been using poorboys.

I like Meguairs Gold Class but to be honest this stuff has been the best I've used, and it's cheap.

I'm using a Zymol conditioning shampoo at the moment, stopped using the Megs as the Zymols kinder on my wax, also it smells so good I want to consume it.:thumbs up:

CG cirtus wash, you can also use it in your foam lance.
