the meguiars shampo plus does look good value for money i think, how does it compair to the gold shampo?

i brought 5L of turtle zipwax from halfords the other day for £4.99, but havent used any at the mo, as am worried that it will do more damage than good?

Megs shampoo plus rules,u.s. gallon can lasts me about a yr, ya hardly need much at all for loads of suds-love it-that happy with it i wouldnt bother trying anything else now.

(its not very often im that satisfied with a product i stop looking for anything better)Great value when ya consider how long it`l last ya.

Gold Class is actually quite strong and does strip LSP's quite quickly - Shampoo Plus would be my suggestion as it's what i use on my own car aswell as all our customers

if it's just for going in a bucket and not through a lance then dodo born to be mild. 3 tiny capfuls in a 5lt bucket is more than enough. for the lance i use either megs hyper wash or poorboys super slick n suds.

I've found that the Zymol Autowash is pretty good.

And it smells great

I also use it as screen wash as its excellent for that too.
