Washing-up liquid is handy for getting stubborn bug deposits and dissolved tar off, but, as has been said, it strips the wax, so a re-wax afterwards is a must.

Mods, please can you leave this for a while so I can get a few quick replies?!

Title says it all - what car shampoo do you all use to clean the Scooby, and does it really matter...??!

I'm assuming that people polish only every month or so, but wash maybe every week...?

HELLOM8

A lot of peeps on here use Swissol products I think you can clean the car with out a shampoo once wax'd?(not sure).
I just use a wash and wax thing (Turtle wax extreme I think) once a week and wax the car every month or so.
Swissol stuff is quite expensive, but the result I've seen on here are V.good.
Cheers.

Simoniz Wash n wax.
Doesn't leave water marks, so no need to leather..plus a proper polish every now and again.

Andy Porter

Zip Wax, Halfords

Scooby Brother

Swissol Car Bath. Wouldn't use anything else.

Autoglym car bodywork shampoo conditioner stuff - works great, especially with the Autoglym polish too. With the gold label polish (extra gloss protection) on top of the red label polish (silicon polish) it's smoother than a smooth thing that feeling particularly slick.

IMO for value for money (by this I mean the usual cost versus performance compromise) you can't beat the Autoglym polish cleaning products generally.

I've looked at various ones, but just can't afford to spend £100 on a tub of Superfandangoturbofannymagnet Polish from the likes of Swissol etc.

Same as Mark and Scratch - Autoglym

Timotei...it replaces those natural nutrients washed away by regular cleaning, and leaves your with that "just washed" feel.

IN THE STICKS

Autoglym here also

AndrewJ - they meant for washing the scoob not your hair

scoobimax

Autoglym through and through.

Andrewj

Scratch,

I was just trying to inject a little humour into an otherwise turgid thread. I obviously failed.

I'll get my coat...

Autoglym for me as well, by the Scoob still suffers from some dandruff after all more on the front though..

Used to use meguairs gold class shampoo on my Scoob before it was killed, excellent stuff, no water marks even on the dark blue paintwork
Did not do much to hide the dundruff (chips) on the bonnet !

Used to use Zip wax and Autogylm. Have now switched to Swissol.
Should have switched before, but didn't bother. All you peeps still using Autogylm.... TRY SWISSOL no regrets.... No going back to those anoying bottles....

zoton

Zymol...smells of bananas and doesn't take off the wax

scoobyfella

Used to use Autoglym utill i tried Swissol. no comparism the car is so easy to wash with the car bath after it has been waxed i only use about a third of a bucket full of water now to wash the car and the wash cloth is spotless after washing, coz you rinse of with water first the dirt obviously just comes of easy.

Abit pricey but belive me well worth it.

Cheers James
