Best Shampoo & Washmitt

[Tris Harris]

It's come to that time again when I need to restock some of my cleaning products. Now, im fairly happy with most, but fancy changing shampoo and washmitt and want to know which you think are the best!

I'm currently using DoDo BTBM shampoo, and a meg's lambswool wash mitt.

Which products do you think would be superior to these? Problem with the BTBM imo is that as it doesn't create that many suds, it makes me question how good it is to the paintwork (I know that cleaners in the shampoo are more important, but i still like foam and suds).

Cheers x

Thats what I found odd about the autoglym shampoo conditioner. It only had a few suds on top of bucket and not in the water. It was just like throwing on water. I also like suds as ytou can really work it in the paintwork but meh to autoglym.

yeah, the cleaning power is there... but it just feels better to me to have suds and foam lol

currently using Zaino Z7 (ive found it to be very good at handling the warm weather and not to many water marks appearing) give it a try, or Duragloss 901, or some of the BH....and if you can get one DD wash mitt whatever its called lol completely gone from me right now...
Zaino

Duragloss 901

 

[Ninja59]

upon 2nd thought Tris Duragloss 901 does not give exactly what your looking for as it doe not have much suds's i can verify though that the Z7 def does with my bug removal today lol

I'm using Autogylm shampoo and conditioner - partly because it was reduced to clear half price in Tesco and I bough 4 bottles
Good product that shifts the grime and leaves a good shine. Also not had much of a problem with water spots when using it - even today when it was fairly strong sun that was drying the car before I got round it all with a drying towel.

If you want sunds then get a snowfoam lance

 

[Tris Harris]

I've got a snowfoam lance.

I dont like AG Shampoo, it doesn't feel lubricated enough to me!

might have to order the Z7 then if you say it makes loads of suds

2 capfuls to approx 6-8 litres works nicely...

washmitt wise i got the meigs one and also got meigs drying towel.

 

[Tris Harris]

im not a fan of the megs one really, i use it to do my wheels!

currently using an unbranded waffle weave one from CYC, but im going to invest in the DoDo one!

 

[Ninja59]

Hi, I'm currently using Zymol Autowash from Halfords, £6.49 for 500ml (exactly the same product with some detailing companies on the net for over £10.00) , only needs one capful per 8 litres of water. It produces nice suds and feels very lubricated (and also smells nice :yum

I bought a lambswool mitt off ebay for £6.99 , apparently they are made in the same factory as the Sonus and Eurow ones, very happy with it.

Yes i do realise it is made in the same factory as Turtlewax, but there are are a number of different shampoos made by Turtlewax e.g Platinum , Zipwax etc.. Which one is the Zymol the same as so as you say I can stop wasting some money ?
