alternatives to Jeffs shampoo
i'm sure someone is stealing this stuff from the garage, i'm always running out
after a bit of advice with compatible/same quality products please, i like the Jeffs stuff but it seems a bit pricey nowadays? i noticed the bottle size is 1 Litre now so i guess it's not as bad as i thought, but i wondered if there were more cost effective shampoos out there?
for example i can get 2 litres of meguirs gold class for the same price, and on the polished bliss site there's a meguires shampoo plus for even less and there's nearly 4 litres of the stuff and it's massively dilutable that one seems a bargain.
i use a zymol shampoo on the wheels and that seems to lasting forever
so is there a downside to the cheaper/different stuff or does it offer the same quality?

are you guys using the hyper wash in a foam gun only? i'm guessing this is the main aplication for this stuff given the amount you get and the dilution ratio?
i only hand wash in buckets so would this not really be any good?
just seems a bit too good to be true, either of those meguirs shampoos looks to be unbelievably good value for money

Hyper Wash is a foaming agent, not a shampoo as such, but plenty of people use it as a shampoo with good results... and the value is excellent. In second place comes Shampoo Plus, which is an excellent bucket shampoo, and the best value shampoo on the market in my opinion. Performance-wise, it's well lubricated and free-rinsing, and will not strip waxes or sealants. In contrast, all of the boutique shampoo's have gone up in price due to the pound falling a lot against the dollar 9where they are bought in from).

cheers for the info Rich, to be honest it reads well on your site (lifting off the dirt and not stripping protection etc) and as long as it's bubbly and gets the crap off the car i'll be happy
bet you just love detailing simpletons like myself

Lol, with the amount of incoming orders at the moment we have to get them out super quick, otherwise the place will fill up with packed boxes! Mentally busy already, and it's not even March lol! As always though, cheers for the business, and you're always welcome with regard to the advice.
