Maguiars Gold Class Shampoo

[fizzy_drink]

I've been using AG shampoo for the past 6 years...

...and thanks to a bit of advise, I switched to Maguiars gold class shampoo.



The results are visibly better than the AG shampoo - more shine IMO.

WAY more suds too. The recommended 'four capfulls' is enough to turn your bucket into shaving foam if you so choose.


I'd say it was a bit too thick to pour, and I used far too much as a result. I suppose next time I'll have a better idea of how much to use.

I'd also say that it doesn't quite cut into grime as much as the AG shampoo; I can forsee myself having something else to hand for the odd stubborn stain.

same as me dude. I've used autoglym stuff for the last 10 years. Rich recomended me Meg's stuff and i was like ... WOW.

Different league imo.

I use gold class on mine, I didn't like the ag one when I tried it.

 

[tedgeuk]

only ever used AG will have to give megs a go

Just infished my gold class now. i wont be using it again, will get an old favorite of mine next - Nxt gen wash

I use 2.

One is for general washing, a blob of it, or about that, per bucket, gives plenty of suds and is non agressive. Meguirs Shampoo Plus. Ive had quite a few different car washes over the past months and ive found this one has prooved to be my favorite.

The other is used for stripping when i want to start from scratch. In all honesty i thought id try the gold class this time round and found it to be very very soapy and agressive. i wont be buying it again, but i wouldnt reccomend it for an "everyday wash".

Love the meguirs gold class stuff, soaps up really well.

duragloss 901 is streets ahead of gold class imo

I would be surprised if NXT stripped everything off in one use, it does considerably reduce the life of waxes.

trust me a stong mix cetrainly helps it on its way. I might leave it and get some super degreaser instead.

Crap, that'll teach me to not read CS during the day. I stopped off at Halfrauds last night and purchased some of the shampoo, wax, application pads and a bottle of tyre back stuff.

I tend to use nxt wash, foams up well.
But on a local trip to halfords discovered some zymol auto wash.
Smells lovely, seems to work well, and foams up nice, (well i do use the pressure washer to blast to mix in the bucket.)
http://www.vertar.com/zymol-autowash/
was £7.99 at halfords.

I find you have to use quite a lot of AG shampoo to get any suds..going to get the megs next time

 

[Rich]

The AG is not designed to foam up, hence the lack of suds.

Good shout on the Zymol (turtle wax) Autowash, it is the best off the shelf soap Halfords sell.

 

[Brand86]

I used to use some Turtle Extreme shampoo or something, came in a green bottle, and remember thinking it was pretty good...oribably was s**t but better than the Mer stuff we used at work which was lame.

I could have not bothered getting the Gold Class shampoo then really. Provided I can find my old bottle of Zymol Autowash.

For the money you cant argue, Lots of suds and leaves a pretty good finish, Ive gone onto Shampoo plus, which smells lovely

Shampoo Plus is great for the money.

My memory is going in my old age. I was passing Halfrauds and decided to stop and buy some Gold Class.

Oh well, I'll try and find the Zymol in the cupboard and finish it off. At least I got some cold class wax to try, and some new applicator pads.

 

[Lee]

I couldn't find the Zymol. Must have used it all.

That Megs gold class shampoo is nice though, but the wax was even better. The NXT wax was easy to appy but didn't come off anywhere near as easy as the gold class.
