I've been using BH Autowash since last year.. Pretty good stuff that goes a long way.
However, it's nearly all gone & so could anyone recommend an alternative wash shampoo that I could try instead?
Literally dozens out there to choose, but as I've found out previously, you guys know your stuff!!

There are so many to choose from it really is just what takes your fancy. I'm personally a big fan of the Dodo Juice Shampoo's, Born to be Mild especially. other than that, you could maybe go for the Ultima Paint Guard Wash or Chemical Guy's Maxi Suds II.

I vote for Dodo Juice Born to be Mild - It's fantastic stuff. Smells great too.

autoglym shampoo is nothing in comparison to BH Autowash which I still maintain is one of the best most economical shampoos the detailing enthusiast can buy

AG shampoo represents very poor value for money for the product.

Some of the brand snobs wont like what im saying here but one of the best shampoos ive ever used is the turtle wax triple wax shampoo
streak free on black and seems to disperse dirt well, The worst ive used is chemical guys extreme wash and wax, very little suds and bad VFM,

Is that the purple stuff? Interesting if it is, I reckon it's pretty good and foams up well  :undecided:

I dont think that shampoo is PH neutral though is it ? So the guys with wax layers wont enjoy using this much.
