Zymol Autowash is my favourite, also use Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II or Dodo Juice Sour Apple sometimes.

Duragloss. I've tried just about everything and have got shelves full of shampoos, but that is the best IMO and smells amazing too.

Megs gold class very good IMO. Removes dead flies with out the use of poor boys bug squash.

I really rate Megs stuff now compares to it years ago.

Auto glym shampoo is shit

Been using that for the last two years, only on my second bottle and i tend to wash the car once a week during winter and once every couple of weeks in summer when we have the dry weather, a little goes ALONG way and the shine it leaves is fantastic with little effort, oh and it smells good enough to drink aswell(not that it matters)

I stopped using Autoglym as i found that it doesnt seem to foam up, ill put loads in the bucket and by the time ive walked to the car and done half a side ive got a bucket of plain water with the Chemical guys ive got loads of foam even after finishing the car.
