Default Word of warning Re flash car wash system

As its sunday I gave my car its weekly wash with my lovely flash carwash system, hooked everthing up ready to go and realised I had only a bit of flash car shampoo left, never mind I thought Ill just mix in a bit of meguiars nxt shampoo this time and get a new bottle tomorrow. What a FU**ING mess, it left a waxy residue all over the car that would not come off no matter how hard I rubbed it (fnaaar). In the end I had to go through the whole 3 stage (4 hrs) polish, clay bar and then wax to get the damn stuff off. All I can think of is that it caused some kind of reaction between the 2 shampoos that partially stripped the old wax off and dumped it in lovely gunky lumps all over the car . Bottom line is stick with the flash shampoo and whatever you do dont mix it with anything else.

Ive noticed the Flash system leaves a horrible skin over the car, if you polish a small area it leaves a damned edge that you cant hide
