Not used AF Lather myself, but have used a few other Auto Finesse products and always been impressed by them.

I'm currently using 50-Cal Tracer or Gyeon Bathe+, really like both of them, the 50-Cal makes more soap suds if that matters :thumbs up:

Both are available from our site sponsor The Detailers Box (http://newminiscotland.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?90-The-Detailers-Box)

I'm a big Auto Finesse fan and I've used most of their products if just the once. When it comes to car shampoo now though I usually just buy what's on offer within reason. I've
tried quite a few of the Auto Finesse products and generally, they always seem to be rather good if a little expensive compared to like for like products. The shampoo has a fresh smell and produces some thick suds although they did die down quicker than some other makes so if you're looking for bubbles then it's not for you.
What I will say after being on a few courses now that bubbles aren't important when washing the car it's how much lubricity it provides as this lessens the sponge or mitt scratching the car.

Used to use AG and was thinking about this too. Never used AS Duet, is it a trade only thing?

AS Duet is a trade only product and has the same properties as AG shampoo which makes it easy to use. It is a low foam formula but if don't mind that and understand it's just as good as good as one that foams it's a good bit cheaper than AG :)

Some of the best shampoos that I've used have had less foam but more "lubricosity".
If that's not an actual word, it is now.
lol
I always use a microcell sponge and you can tell the difference between the "slippier" shampoos straight away.

This year I've only used Meguiars Hyper-Wash and the foam is a really small bubble foam and it's as slippy as a slippy thing on a slippy day in Slippy Ville.
The results are great and you can also use it as a snow foam as well.

p.s. Did I mention that it is slippy ?
:p
