£7/£8 for shampoo... really?

are you saying it's expensive?

 

[Phil W]

Well, yeah!

No point in spending that amount on a single bottle when something equally as good can be bought 4 or 5 times over for the same price!

I have AG Shampoo, 3 for 2 offer in Halfords and it worked out like what? £5 for a litre?

Only need 2 cap full for a bucket of water. I suspect this will last me a few years.

£5 for a few years.....can't complaint about that.

cant beat good shampoo. Im convinced that meguiars gold class is the nicest smelling thing ever.

Triple Wax shampoo on mine when the others finish (Muc-Off). it's like £1 for a litre and does a fine job on my paintwork.

Tried the Astonish stuff? I seem to remember you using Spray N Shine? The shampoo is equally as adequate, infact its pretty damn good The only thing i don't like in the Astonish range is the tyre shine, its pants.

 

[mrk]

I probably have tried it yeah, I've probably tried them all at some point over the years

 

[Raymond Lin]

I have 2 bottles of these stuff that i don't use anymore, think you can use it on the paint work?

I probably would not as it looks exactly the same as the alloy wheel cleaner Muc-Off do.

I would use it as an alloy cleaner but i can't tell if its acidic based or not. It's one of the older label ones, looks slightly different from the link.

well actually that was my question

is there something equally as good or is this a superior product?

 

[Phil W]

Use it on your inner arch areas Raymond

Oh yeah, could do

I actually used Iron X on that part of the car last week for the first time. The amount of purple liquid running down the drive was unbelieveable !

Horses for Courses and all that but i fail to see the point in spending that ammount on a Shampoo.

This is what i'm using at the moment, you can get it for about £1-£1.50 in-store though.

 

[Shades]

all i'm really interested in is that it will not strip the wax off the car

i cant be bothered to work it out but the dilution ratio between the products I linked to and your shampoo are quite different it would be interesting to see what the actuall economy is.

2.5 caps in a bucket of water

I just bought my car a new sponge, I hope it understands how much I love it....

One day I will wash it but not today need to clean my bike.

 

[Goose]

Can anyone recommend a decent drying towel and wash mit/sponge? To buy one of each from CYC would be about £16 + delivery for the cheapest they do.

 

[LiE]

Clean

 

[Raymond Lin]

Very tidy, what was did you use?
