Shampoo
 
Ok this yeah for the first time in ages I did not get any car shampoo for Christmas booo hooo

Whats a good recommendation for something which works well and won't break the bank?

Have looked at the post Ian put up last year and of the three is was turtle wax. I have used that previously and thought it was ok and a bit better than Autoglym (trick with that is to use 10x more than they recommend and it works ok but does not last very long!) - wondered if Coxy could recommend something good?

As far as car shampoo I have always bought turtle wax. Normally find one with 100% extra free this time of year and lasts all year. I didn't receive and car cleaning stuff either, think my wife is trying to tell me something....Already dropping hints about the garden needs landscaping now the children are older! :crazy:

I use valet Pro car wash. A little goes a long way with them. Comes in 5 litre containers but I'd say, £ for £ it is the best stuff I've used and works out cheaper than the cheaper high street brands.

Another good one I use is the Tesco's own range of eco friendly stuff.
Was about £2.99 for a litre, works well and smells nice too and kept the Enviroment Agency happy when they did a visit on my old place and was asking what went down the drains!:D
They were well impressed when they saw me using the Tesco's enviro stuff!!

Hid the hardcore stash from their prying eyes!

I go for Zymol available from Halfords. It smells delicious and is apparently made of coconuts and other fruits..... Not bad value either.....
