What car shampoo do you all use?

[Fkadir]

ChemicalGuys CitrusWash + Gloss

[Redplanet]

I'm using the new armourall wash-and-wax. Despite the initial paranoia about such wash-and-wax products, I found that it does work quite well and the car does feel that much smoother and shiner after washing.

 

Is that a new product? Or just re-packaging the old stuff?

Use various brands of shampoo before, as of now, Sonax and Duragloss are quite on par. Lotsa of lubricant and sud. Except Duragloss smells nicer and sparkling clean.

Just from my personal experience thats all, i have been using it on my past 2 rides, didnt see any negative effects. for general discussion, i would wash my eating utensils with dish washing liquid but not with car wash shampoo , in terms of "harsh chemicals", my personal presumptions is you would probably find more inside a car wash than inside a dish washing detergent. The metal skin of a car can never be as "delicate" as that from a human skin, everyday people use dish washing detergent to wash their utensils after meals, their hands are in constant contacts with the dish washing detergent everday didnt see any reports that it is harmful....so if it its okay for human it should not have any problem with metal. anyway just my personal practice to save a few lousy bucks on washing my ride thats all.....other cars owners are free to choose whatever products that they are comfortable with

 

Bro,

Since you say so, did you try using the dish washing for bathing ?

I don't think so...they've been ard cos I've been using it for afew years.... blue color liquid...

[Davc]

I use Swissvax car shampoo. It is expensive, but very concentrated, so kind in the end not that costly.

 

I also use Zymol sometimes.

 

Tried Meg Gold Class, like it as well, but the two above are what I really like.

[Krismas]

In order of preference:

 

DG 501 and Opt Car Wash

Meg's Hyperwash

Meg's NXT Wash

 

Depending on how dirty my car is.

Well, the usual conception that wash-and-wax products will cause shuddering of windscreen wipers. It didn't happen (or maybe I shld say, has yet to happen) in my case.

Just bought a duragloss 901. Have yet to try.

Same, been using it since last year. Quite good IMO. Thought that there was a new type of wash&wax shampoo from Armourall besides this.

duragloss shampoo got non-flavored ones or not?

 

i'm allergic.

[Fella]

Used to use Meguiars NXT - nice scent and foamy (actually still using occasionally especially when the car is super dirty).

Now mostly using Zaino Z7 show-car wash - foam level is minimum as compared to NXT.
