    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.

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

    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..

    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. We shall see how that goes.

    Also bought myself some wheel brightner....

    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.

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

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

    yeah, they lasted one wash each before falling apart. Hope these ones last longer...

    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.
