I have been noticing that sometimes when I was the car, no matter what shampoo I use very often the mix never seems very bubbly/ soapy. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

 

you have the wrong type of water

 

Or the wrong shaped sponge

 

bucket is too big, also use a left-handed one, they work much better!!!

 

I would say you are using Auto Glyme(spelling)
It is crap for bubbles but it does get the car clean.

Dave.

 

I HATE that stuff, nearly as shit a 'Mer'.

I like good old Turtle Wax shampoo, or something similar to that. Nice and bubbly and does the job. Although I use a Pressure Washer too, with proper Pressure Washer cleaner.

 

You don't need shampoo if it never get's dirty

 

Yes mate bang on, glad thats solved then.

 

Nah, i always get a shed load of bubbles from auto glym, you just have to stick the bucket under the tap or somthing else thats powerfull and then it foams up in seconds.

My dad used to use the hose pipe on the sprinke setting to fill the bucket, needless to say he always ended up with a bucket of water by the time he carried it to the car

 

i wasnt joking,,, soft water is good for bubbles,, but hard water areas are bad for bubbles

 

Why do you want bubbles? All the stuff that actually washes your car gets lost in the bubbles. Better off having the water with the shampoo or whatever in it and no bubbles. Thats why you should fill your bucket with water and then put the shampoo in

 

Fairy is good for bubbles, gets my car squeaky clean

 

i use autoglym shampoo conditioner (the green liquid) hardly any bubbles.

the best i think is turtle wax shampoo but i hate bubbles and loads of soap left on car, with autoglym i go straight to chamois without the need for a pressure washer to get soap off

 

The better the shampoo the less bubbles usually.

 

Will have to ask at the car wash what they use

 

who fucking cares

 

i'd say the person that asks cares, i may be jumping the gun there but thats my take on it.
