Hello,

Just seeking some advice on a suitable car shampoo that won't strip wax when applied, not to far back I clayed my car, put some swirl x and polished and put some wax on it to seal the deal.

To lengthen the period of my detail, I was looking for a decent shampoo that wouldnt strip the wax.

Second question..

When I need to polish or apply any other products, do i need to completely remove the wax or the natural removal of wax through various washes be enough.

The reason I ask is, I have used a collinte wax and from reviews they last a long time.

Thanks.

P.S can anyone recommend a good interior cleaner for the MK5 upholstered seats because I have spot tested some other ones (i.e foam like ones) and they leave a damp spot when removed and I don't feel confident to apply it all over.

Hi mate

Any decent car shampoo will be fine on a waxed surface if used in the correct dilution. With shampoos like more or less any other detailing product you will get a different answer off everyone as to what's best but a good starting point is either megs nxt or gold class both are available from your local halfrauds.

Polishing will remove previously applied products mate!!!

Yes Collinite will last a long time when used correctly my last coat lasted 5 months over the winter and was still showing signs of protection.

A good interior cleaner ive found is Autoglym interior shampoo again available from halfrauds. Any interior cleaner will leave a damp patch mate as they are all liquid. A good way to apply them is via a microfibre cloth spray onto the cloth then wipe into the fabric then use another MF cloth damp with cean water to remove.

If you have a snow foamer then add a little fairy liquid to the solution to strip any old wax from the car, giving a virgin surface to start again with  :happy2:

The salts in it attack your paintwork. I wouldn't let that stuff near my car.
