Default Car Shampoo ?

not talking about high quality stuff like some of you pro's use but an everyday use one called cherry bomb and is it any good ?, normally I'm happy with some zip-wax tbh as its the sort you can add to a bucket of water etc not ones through a lance

I can't help with that one but if you want a fairly cheap one that's good and lasts ages, have a look at meguiars shampoo plus.

Another one to consider is Angel Wax Shampoo cheap, goes a long way and great at cleaning.

Been using this http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washin.../prod_144.html for the last few years, one bottle lasts forever, you only need about the size of a 10p into a big bucket of water, foams up a treat and cleans well, also it is ph balanced meaning that when you wash the car on a hot day you wont get horrible white water marks over the windows and bodywork. It leaves a nice just polished finish aswell


EDIT: out of stock on that site but there are other sites online to order from.

Otherwise the meguiars range can be found in Halfords etc

Meguiars gold class shampoo is all i will use. Lasts forever because you dont need much, smells great and it works really well. I often just use it without polishing etc and the car always looks clean
