I'm after some new car shampoo and wondered if someone could recommend some?
-
Can't go wrong with DoDo Juice Born to be Mild PH Neutral (also same price on Amazon):
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/car-wash-shampoos/dodo-juice-born-to-be-mild-shampoo/prod_490.html
Also good:
DoDo Juice Supernatural shampoo
Chemical Guys Citrus wash & gloss
CG Glossworkz
CG Maxi suds II
-
Try Angel Wax Shampoo or their self drying version - superb products which put some established players to shame.
-
Meguiars NXT generation or there gold class. Can't go wrong really
-
Another vote for Born To Be Mild, fantastic stuff! My 1L bottle seems to be lasting ages too!
-
OCD Finish Clarity, a little goes a long way.
Chemical guys super suds, streak free finish.
-
Autoglym, £40 for 25 litres bought off one of their trade vans. In a snow foam lance it works better than most snow foams too.
-
I use poorboys super slick & suds, awesome stuff!
I've also tried autoglym and chemical guys which are also good! 👍
-
Born to be Mild, absolutely perfect, don't need a lot and get nice slippery water.
Also a bad of AutoGlym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner. Only downside to that is it has gloss enhancers so adds a small amount of protection which isn't always ideal.
-
Wolfs white satin
Carlack 68
Espuma Astro
Can't go wrong with any of them
-
I've bought a few over the last few months.
Meguiar's 'Gold Class'
Zymol 'Auto Wash' (smells great but really dries your hands out)
DoDo Juice 'Born To Be Mild'
Carchem 'TailorMade'
They've all done there job, none of them have really stood out from each other THB. I think one of the main factors is where you live and how hard the water is.
Here's a link to a brillant review of lots of shampoo's which is well worth looking through.

I've tried loads (see previous page) but the one I always return to and have been using consistently for well over a year now is DoDo Juice Supernatural. Even better than DJ Born to be Mild.

nce Booth between BTBM and Supernatural?
Chemically? Who knows!
It's a more concentrated formula than BTBM. I use 3 pumps of the dispenser in a normal Meguiars bucket (3.5 US gallons) and it is sufficient for a really excellent clean. It foams well and because of it's brilliant lubricity, it's very, very slick, the wash mitt glides effortlessly across the panel meaning only the gentlest of contact is required.
Only word of caution would be don't use too much as it can strip wax due to the concentrated formula (can also be used as a snow foam, so quite versatile). So less is more or just follow the dilution info on the label. Dilution rate is 1:1500 with water (or 1 pump per 3 litres of water - about 20x as concentrated bog standard shampoos.
I love BTBM but IMO this is a step up, and delivers a pristine clean.
-
Might have to give it a try next time I order shampoo, been really impressed with BTBM.

Why change then? If you get great results and like it, why not stick with BTBM? Even if the Supernatural is better, its's marginal at best (and might even be my imagination, lol). BTBM is excellent stuff and my second choice.
