Help me choose a shampoo
« on: September 27, 2010, 10:51:04 am »
Hi guys, I've been using AG Body Work Shampoo and Conditioner for as long as I remember, but I fancy a change.

I've been looking at Chemical Guys Maxi Suds, Zaino Z-7 Show Car Wash, and Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss. Particularly like the sound of the Maxi Suds, as the AG stuff is generally flat 2/3rds through a 20L bucket.

Any other recommendations?

I've heard that's pretty bad for removing previously applied sealant and wax...

Do it my way, spending so much time detailing cars instead of driving them sucks away your spirit.

1 bucket. Fairy liquid. Pair of old pants. The rain will rinse it, eventually. Drive.

Yeah, very good mate, but this is the detailing section so I think I'd prefer sensible answers if possible :happy2:

Zymol car shampoo. 3 for 2 usually at Halfrauds. Tis very good at shifting muck when I eventually do wash it, rinses off very well too, rather than leaving water marks.

+1 for Dodo Juice Born to be Mild. Very slick, decent suds, doesn't need much for a wash so even a small bottle lasts ages.


The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

After reading a few reviews on Detailing World I ended up ordering the Zaino Z-7 Show Car Wash. Looking forward to giving it a try.
