Which Shampoo?
« on: June 15, 2011, 09:14:40 am »
I've been used the AG Shampoo for some time now and fancy a change.  What would people recommend using?

Cheers

I use Zaino Z7. Leaves a wonderfully glossy finish.

No, I buy it from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk

They now sell it as part of a pack comprising of 4 bottles of shampoo, plus two bottles of gloss enhancer spray, for £49.

I'd only use Z7 if using the rest of the Zaino system tbh.

Which wax or sealant do you use?

See the Zaino Z7 has 'gloss enhancers in it which compliment the Zaino sealants, but it's quite expensive for its dilution ratio.

I'd have a look at something like Dodo Born to be Mild, which again you can't get from Halfords, but its more concentrated than the Zaino and works better with waxes (although yours is a 'hybrid' technically speaking).

Most of what is competing for shelf space in Halfords is bulked up, poor dilution ratio'd, stuff.  Megs Soft Wash Gel (pink stuff) is okay if you can get it, or the Zymol Auto Wash if you can find any stock (it's been pulled from Halfords!).

As above...

Just my opinion... it is a nice shampoo, but not the most cost effective for 'non Zaino'd' cars IMO

I used to use AG and this time went for Meg's Gold class.
Seems to produce more more bubbles and goes a long way.

Not sure how quickly it will wash my wax away but if you dont want to spend loads its a nice change to AG.

AG shampoo isn't meant to foam up that much, which is probably why its not as popular as some of the meg's stuff.

Megs gold class is probably the only one I'd go for from halfrauds. As for online, I found born to be mild a bit lacking during the winter. Didn't cut through grime/dirt as well. Great as a summer shampoo though. Currently using duragloss 901 which is awesome at removing anything left over after a snowfoam/rinse.

The snowfoam that I bought from Auto perfection is a absolute waste of money..

Not sure what it is, came with the snow foam lance...Doesn't even shift the slightest dirt, even after 1 day on driving on wet roads :stupid:

I have to turn the head on the lance really tightly shut to get any sort of foam out.. It's either the guns not making enough foam, or the solution is from jims own bath water :fighting:

As a result , the snow foam kit I spent £45 on, doesn't get used.. :mad:

what's the best snowfoam to use?
