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!

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!

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.....

Yep,Zymol thru Halfords as its cheap from them.

BUT,best stuff Ive ever used,and is very very economical is the Citrus Wash and Wax from Chemical Guys.Excellent results!
