Title: Help me choose a shampoo
Post by: andrewparker on September 27, 2010, 10:51:04 am: Hi guys, I've been using AG Body Work Shampoo and Conditioner for as long as I remember, but I fancy a change.

I've been looking at Chemical Guys Maxi Suds, Zaino Z-7 Show Car Wash, and Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss. Particularly like the sound of the Maxi Suds, as the AG stuff is generally flat 2/3rds through a 20L bucket.

Any other recommendations?

1 bucket. Fairy liquid. Pair of old pants. The rain will rinse it, eventually. Drive.

Yeah, very good mate, but this is the detailing section so I think I'd prefer sensible answers if possible :happy2:
