Default Shampoo and set

Going to have a bash with some Crumply presents in a minute...



and also got turtle wax shampoo (image has died, sorry).



Usually use autoglym shampoo, any idea what the above are like?

Both are good and are probably better than Autoglym,
The Turtle wax shampoo isn't too different to the Zymol apart from the price tag difference!!

Well, in conclusion, and having washed 3 cars down, the Turtle Wax and the Zymol appear to be better than the autoglym... With possibly the Turtle wax working a bit better...

And it's the cheapest...

Need to try that Meguiars gold stuff now...

Try the Zymol polish, it's awesome ( from a man who doesn't know a detail from a DoDo) and smells fantastic. Gave the Cq a right shine and some depth too, if you can put depth into Alpine white?!!

Doyou mean the Zymol "Cleaner Wax" from Halfords? About £13 a bottle? I had some and it was great. Gave me green fingers though......

I now know the difference between polih and wax, and once I get a bit more cash I'll buy some Menenrza polish and Collinite 476 wax, to apply with my new christmas buffer toy.

I used the Armorall stuff today, a lot better than Autoglym and the "Car Care" wash and wax stuff......
