Ok, so its been a while since I bought car shampoo as I've been making my way through 50L of Aldi's finest but what are people using? Normally I wouldn't much care and just get a 5L tub of something circa Ã,£10/15 but I've just seen a number of 5L ones in Euro which are upwards of Ã,£50... who's using THAT stuff!!?
03 Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDI 115 Ghia in Spruce Green Metallic
With cream leather interior, Full Bodykit, Remapped at 145bhp, Lowered on 18's
17 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 V6 Diesel in Slate Blue
262Bhp AWD and Factory fresh...for now!
58 Ford Transit 2.2 TDI 115 in Frozen White
With retrofitted everything except another slidey door! :)
LAUNCH X431 Pad PRO - Scanning & Coding for all makes and models done in Wiltshire in exchange for winegums! :)

I've seen one on there that specifies 400:1 dilution going for over Ã,£40, but that would work out to 2000 litres of diluted product. Which at the rate I wash the car at, would last longer than the car!

At the rate I wash my cars a sample sachet would be with me longer than the car😂

Much the same here - the boot on mine currently has a texture somewhat comparable to p180 grit sandpaper so probabbly due a wash, though more likely the rain will deal with it (hopefully!)

I like to use the Triple QX stuff from Euros.

The main thing I think is to use one with wax in it and use a good old dollop when you fill the bucket. Also chuck away the water when it looks like itââ,¬â,,¢s getting dirty.

The main thing is to use a nice cotton glove thing instead of a sponge. The man at the car wash says that sponges just rub in grit but if you use the frilly glove thing then itââ,¬â,,¢s far quicker and better for the car too.

I love keeping my Alhamb nice and shiney looking!

Truth be known however, itââ,¬â,,¢s the inside that really makes the difference.

I am happy to help you with all your questions. I am not a qualified mechanic but seem to be better at fixing my car than even the most experienced garages.

I have lots of friends here and very much enjoy talking with you all. Always remember, a motor car is a serious tool and should be treated with respect. Put your safety first, always.

I use the Autoglym bodywork shampoo conditioner, it's not very good value for money when bought in the 500ml size but you can buy a 2.5 litre container of it for around 20 quid, which lasts me in the region of a couple of years.
Always learning..... Often by mistakes!

My friend just got 5L of shampoo and wax from Euros for Ã,£3.99!!! He is so pleased!!

My apologies, my friends. It turns out it was from Screwfix
