what do i get

been using meguiars gold class for ages now and i just fancy a change, nothing to do with the product being insufficent as it did a very good job.

also, need an alloy wheel brush as i've had 3 different ones and each has broken.

and i'm thinking more about internet products rather than halfords stuff e.g chemical guys, poorboys etc.

I've been using Dodo Juice Born to be Mild for the past few months. Doesn't seem to be stripping my wax and smells quite nice

i'm looking at chemical guys extreme body wash and wax now, looks like it has good reviews.

ak, i find the cheaper stuff to dry quicker and not have as much foam/lubricant. does the job, i just like some fancy stuff

i just want something that won't strip the diamondbrite and shite loads of polish and wax off my car

used chemical guys citrus wash and gloss before but that left the car with a shite non glossy finish and took the diamondbrite off as it was so harsh.

I think CG Maxi Suds II will be spot on then.

extreme body wash and the citrus stuff will strip the wax mate.

http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Duragloss_901_Car_Wash_Concentrate_1.html

This seems to be getting some good reviews.

Personally I would stick with the Megs gold class

I've just ordered some Zaino Show Car Wash from Cleanyourcar as Maxi Suds sold out. This thread reminded me that I needed some more shampoo and clay!

Cant argue with that, I did think it was expensive. Could do with them doing a 5 litre version then maybe it would be better VFM

I currently have Zaino Z-7.
First time i'd bought anything other than halfords/tesco/turtle wax basic stuff and honestly can't tell the difference.
If you've got another couple of stages after the wash anyway, then it doesn't really have a bearing what shampoo you use as far as i can tell.

I have been using Dodo Juice Sour power lately. Really pleased with the results (as much as you can from a shampoo), and out of the snow foam gun its fantastic.

Can't go wrong with the maxi suds II, it'll be sold out for a reason. Reminds me of marzipan

Actually not expensive if you do the maths, there is a post on DW about it somewhere too, but can't find it atm. Dodo actually works out cheaper than the likes of Turtle Wax etc though due to its dilution ratio as you only use a couple of capfuls per 20litre bucket of water.

Also, if you have polished your car a fair few times, there's a very high chance the diamondbrite isn't on there anymore!
