I use auto finesse lather, great shampoo but all down to personal preference

Dodo Juice born to be mild is a ph shampoo, and wont strip wax off.

Auto Finesse Lather for me.

Currently using Duragloss 901. Find it cleans better than BTBM.

I just use the DMC one we can get.

Theyre all fairly similar to be honest! And don't pay more than 10 quid for 500ml of shampoo!

I tried this but just didn't like it, still got an unopened bottle somewhere

I like carlack 68, wolfs white satin & espuma Astro - but like the man said its all down to personal choice

Autobright direct - purple velvet or banana gloss I use.

All there products are good see there website.

Meguires Ultimate Wash and Wax. Bright yellow and looks like something the Simpsons gave birth to!
Expensive at Halfords but with shampoo's you want long lasting suds..but the bottle does last along time.
Best shampoo I've used and I have used quite a few

Meguiars Gold Glass shampoo & conditioner 

Looks the business, doesn't strip wax, smells ok, lots of bubbles, lasts ages (you don't need much for each wash)

What more could you want. . .

I would strong advise against any shampoo that is "wash and wax" or anything like that.

A good shampoo should have nothing in it to detract from your existing LSP. While PH neutral MUW&W is not what we would consider to be "wax safe" meaning it can interfere with your existing levels of protection.

To be honest Autoglym Bodyshampoo Conditioner is a good all rounder.... cheap to buy smells nice and offers a nice slick feeling. not the best shampoo but far better than faffing around with random brands.

Bubbles or suds don't really do anything or mean anything. You want a nice lather of lots of small bubbles rather than a bucket full of large bubbles which don't really do anything and don't offer any benefits to cleaning at all.

Meguiars NXT would be a good choice... if i don't have the DMC shampoo to hand i'll use that... has an added benefit of being wax safe (as said I use it regularly) and has a water softening agent within it so watermarks don't appear as quickly if you are washing your car in the sun. It's pretty cheap too...a big tub for like £14.
