Obviously no one has used all the shampoos, so everyone is going to give a very limited view point. I have tested many and still feel duragloss 901 is outstanding
Its only downfall is its not stocked by many places.
When I first started using it about 10 years ago there were 3/4 UK stockists.
Nowadays its either motogeek or ebay and I personally dont trust ebay sellers.
Almost unheard of but Automate bodywork shampoo (made by the guys at Gliptone before shutdown) has been fantastic for me.
PH neutral, not wash and wax and is incredibly slick, literally zero drag on any panels (even on un-clayed rough panels when I've washed a friends car with them)
I found it first at Aldi of all places but you can find it on amazon for £6 a bottle with free delivery or gliptone have it on their website for a fiver
Haha. I was just about to post pretty much the same. Wolfs White Satin is my fave shampoo of all time. But since I ran out I can't get it anymore. But now I use Carchem 1900:1 - good stuff.
Tbh I don’t know how some of you can tell the difference in slickness from some of the above that I have used. I certainly couldn’t notice a big difference . Maybe it’s my wash pad . I will say that putting abit of shampoo onto the pad made a noticeable difference to slickness
Whilst you search for your grail -adding extra shampoo will give you all the slickness you need. For weekend warriors the additional cost isn't that much
Good shout Jeff, UFS is a cracking shampoo ...would be interested to know out of the new brands you are to be stocking, which has the slickest shampoo you have used
I can't reccomend Bilt Hambers auto wash shampoo enough. 5ml into 10l of water and you have a fantastic slick shampoo with the best cleaning power available in my opinion.
Gyeon Bathe is very good and I add a capful of ONR to slick things further.
It may grate on a few, but Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo is also very slick for car washing, ditto ad ONR. Very cheap too. Although I dare say that it could be rebottled, badged JismCar and sold for 10x cost.
Gyeon Bathe + is good and leave a slick layer. Great if short on time.
