Default Blackfire Gloss Shampoo & Conditioner V Meguiar's Hyper Wash

Silly question really.

Going to give the car it's fourth clean of the year today.

I have used since I got my foam lance the megs hyper wash but seem as I use Blackfire on my car just wondering if the Blackfire Gloss Shampoo & Conditioner with do just as good a job.

I have both already so not a case of buying just want to know if anyone has used Blackfire Gloss Shampoo & Conditioner in the foam lance as to how well is foams up?

You could always use the Megs Hyper in the foam lance, leave to dwell then rinse. Have the Blackfire in the wash bucket.

He doesn't clean it very often but when he does, he does it properly.

It's all about the quality and not the quantity surely

Sort of. I've been to detail cars that haven't been touched in several years and the paint was in better condition underneath the dirt than those washed weekly with a poor cleaning method.

Ideally you would wash the car once a week with a good 2bm routine. After an initial 3 or 4 layers of lsp I then like to top it up once every 3 months in fair weather and then once a month, maybe more through the winter. Then strip it all off once every year to start again. Usually after the last of the frosts when the roads are clear of salt.

At the moment I just can't be too fussed, the car needs a respray with dint and stonechip galore plus plenty of peeling lacquer from a previous poor repair (before my time). Once it is back up to scratch then I'll take a bit more care

I know where your coming from. My roof has lacquer peel and I've lost interest with it. I'll get the roof sorted soon though as I want to sell up.
