Anybody used Autoglym Car Shampoo

[pritchard182]

i use it as its cheaper. washing my car once or twice a week can be expensive

 

[Inferno]

I suppose its okay for people who dont give two s**ts about their car's paintwork

That's a touch strong don't you think? It's not like it damages paint.

I use to use AG but I now use Meguiars Gold Class which is better imo.

 

[mikey123]

I've only ever used the Ag shampoo so can't really compare to any others, but it does a really good job for me anyway!
Seems like there is a huge difference in shampoo's from this thread.

 

[Nafoff]

i will be using it at some point, didn't even know i had it...lol

Touch strong, it's utter nonsense again. Ag shampoo leaves a great finish and cleans well, only issue is it doesn't foam. Unless he was referring to maxi suds?

 

[richy22]

^^^^^ Agree nowt wrong with AG shampoo...just doesnt foam enough. Born to be Mild doesnt foam up that much either...and neither does CG Maxi suds...although it does smell nice.

What's the big deal with it foaming anyway? What does foam do that makes the product better?
This is a genuine question. I've been reading the thread and don't understand what difference foam makes. I can still do my washing up perfectly fine when there aren't many bubbles in the sink, what difference does it make to a car?

 

[richy22]

I could well be corrected but the idea of foam is similar to that of snow foaming....the foam captures any small dust and "should" minimize scratching.

As said Dodo Juice, Born to be mild that doesnt foam up that much.

In reality I can't see it preventing scratching. Not when you're rubbing the dirt all over your car with the sponge / sheepskin / swans feather / giant panda skin / unicorn hide wash mit (or whatever the detailing geeks use) anyway.

But then... what do I know?

 

[richy22]

Ahhh haaa but thats what your missing...usually you would Snow Foam before hand to take off as much dirt as possible. Leaving you with minimal dirt for the shampoo/wash stage.

Its not preventing scratching...merely preventing it.

As said thats just my view I could be corrected

 

[DMS]

Its not preventing scratching...merely preventing it.

Eh?
You're not preventing scratching, you're just preventing it scratching?

I see what you're saying though. The snow foam brings as much of the loose dirt off as possible so that you've got less dirt to rub over the car with your wash mit? And the wash mit picks up the dirt and holds it rather than moving it around the car?

I'd say you're right. The difference with foam is negligable, just to some it makes for a more enjoyable experience, lol.

 

[DMS]

Car cleaning is boring enough without adding an extra step lol.

Ah I didnt see what I wrote there

I ment it doesn't fully stop scratching just helps prevent it. But you said you got what I ment anyways so

Its Thursday my head dont wanna work

 

[ben_p]

Anyone else just mix it all up with other brands.

I just make foamy juice with all sorts from AG to Zymol lol

 

[DMS]

FLOL. Might as well use washing up liquid in that case

 

[ben_p]

Its only slippy water, the finish comes from the Z8

 

[Nafoff]

i love northern ben

 

[Ads_172]

I found it okay, but prefer a shampoo with plenty of suds. Makes a great lube though (for
clay...).

I still like Megs Gold Class.

 

[Dj Annihilation]

I also think AG Shampoo is good....correct it doesnt foam, it does its job though so I am happy....as long as you follow all the correct steps after, the finish should be great.
