Car shampoo?

Post by dhobbs » Tue Aug 01, 2017 7:47 pm

Ok, I'm an autoglym fan and have been using their products for years now, but my shampoo is running out so would like to try something else.
What recommendations do you guys have?

I've read a few reviews and the autoglym had come out on top, but so has the gtechniq gwash!

Shall I stick with AG or try something new?

Of course!

Smells nicer than AG, a tenth of the price and still gets the flies off. Comes in mango, strawberry or lemon scent. I'm no way affiliated to Home Bargains though. BTW, I was offered sex today, with a 21 year old girl, in exchange I was supposed to advertise some kind of bathroom cleaner to my friends. Of course I declined because I am a person of high moral standards with strong will power. Just as strong as Ajax, the super strong bathroom cleaner, now available scented lemon or vanilla.

If you don't wash it for a few weeks it starts cleaning itself (natural oils).

Not a good look on soap-dodging hippies - can't do anything for a Z4. :lol:
