Notes: Koch Nano Magic Shampoo is also available in 5L and 10L from the profesional line Britemax is also available in 1 US gallon (not just 16 or 32oz)

[@Mindthepap]

If we think without pricing in mind...for nano shampoo ...Koch is the best for you?

[@Mindthepap]

@@dimmacommunication The question wasn't cost related. This is why i said "without thinking the price". The question was regarding performance of the shampoo ;)

[@ForensicDetailing]

you have catagory for Cleaning if thats the priorty and you have a catagory for like foaming. you cannot measure slickness even the guys that make it has no lab style test for slickness. price per wash is just about the only tangable thing you can seperate them on. but I realised it wont matter to all so we had catagories for like best retail luxoury one as well. you have recomendations here for literally anything and everything you could want in a car shampoo.

[@ForensicDetailing]

@@dimmacommunication no worries mate that are all good points to raise I want to hear opinions all the time. Ive used at 2 caps and 4 caps, but all the shampoos as you see them in the orange buckets and in the ghost bucket were used at lowest recomended concentration g wash says 2-4 capfulls but also say 1:1800 . 1:1800 is like closer to less than 1 capful. still works ok at that low concentration but you get much better suds and stuff when you use a couple

[@ForensicDetailing]

@@dimmacommunication try it mate. Its a good one for sure. Its quite alkaline (PH9.6) and seemed to have a good impact on the grease tests I did. aside from just this its nice and foamy as well. really good product.

[@marklacey1088]

Well who would have thought a car shampoo vid could be so interesting. Great job Jon, you deserve a well earned break and a stiff drink after all that hard work. My go to shampoos are Bh auto and Chem guys gloss works. These two shampoos do everything I want and need but can see the advantage of the Adams for the summer. I know that you are trying to keep your vids shorter but from the interest and amount of information and advice that you give from my point of view 50 minutes or longer is no problem when you're covering so many products etc. It's a pleasure to watch your channel Jon cheers 😀

[@ForensicDetailing]

cheers mark appreciate it mate

[@daves.3278]

I always watch twice. First time without any notes and to enjoy it and second time to take very important notes. 2 hours felt like nothing :) why? Because this channel is GOLD

[@ForensicDetailing]

ah man thats great to hear I think 99% make it through about 3 minutes and then like the eyes start to go and 5 mins later they are head down on the table snoring :)

[@Napster2k12]

[@InstantKaarma]

Not having a life also helps a lot 😂

[@ShortCycle.]

Totally impressed with your ability to systematically breakdown the pros/cons of the products without any personal bias or aligence to a particular brand. It's food for thought as my go-to has been the Autoglym 5ltr trade for its VFM>cleaning ability... Might need to try Bilt Hamber. Although the Soft99 foam is strangely alluring!

[@littlelegs6532]

As always the way you go about your reviews is nothing short of superb, the time,detail and pure energy you put into these reviews is unsurpassed by any other channel.....your channel is my first point of call when purchasing new products John,keep em coming 👍👍👍👍

[@calmdragon]

Best Reviews on the internet - period - so technical, fun and detailed - unreal ! Keep up the amazing work - next video idea: is swiss wax showroom shine worth £250 lol

Another fantastic review , 50 mins just flys by . Thanks for all your time and effort you put into produce your channel .

[@stevewilliams6191]

Great video.The lengths you go to for these tests is highly impressive. Looking sharp too Jon! 👍

[@jadedbiker614]

Fantastic as always jon. You've opened my eyes to a few more products I now need to try .I had wrongly assumed the price of some of them as more expensive than they are and dismissed some .also thanks for clearing up the concentrations too

[@simmytheman9444]

I’m so sorry but I had to meme the sniffing part that had in me absolutely stitches! Yet again a great video we salute you as one of the detailing gurus!

[@jayfox9779]

Another fantastic review Jon. There's a lot of other detailing channels could learn an awful lot from watching your channel mate. My go to shampoo is bilt gambler but going to give a couple of others a go after watching these reviews, thank you.

[@steverabbits]

Another great video Jon, thank you! The day before I watched this I ordered some of the BH Shampoo, phew, top 3 is ok by me!

[@andyfairchild2383]

Great video John, thanks. I’ve been using G Wash recently, purely because I’ve just had the car coated with a Gtechniq ceramic. I’m impressed with the quality of the shampoo though. I’m new to all this and have been using cheapo stuff from Halfords up to now. I’ve got to say that you can tell the difference! The combination of a good shampoo, a decent mitt and the coating, everything just glides. You feel like you’re not risking damage to the paint - well I hope so anyway.

[@JamesLS3]

Just great testing mate! I appreciate your hard work. Well done

[@ForensicDetailing]

thanks james

[@jc7879]

Really impressive review Jon. I did not realise how concentrated Gyeon and Gtechniq's shampoo's were. I'm no pro detailer, but I do like the feeling of having plenty of product in stock. I think that's what put me off of buying them and the bilt hamber shampoo. Having said that I will change my thinking having watched the review. Once I get through my 5L tub of Auto Finesse Lather, which smells amazing and leaves a nice glossy finish; I will look to get either Bilt Hamber Auto Wash or Gyeon Essence. The other shampoo I use for when I am looking to decontaminate is Chemical Guys Clean Slate, which seems to work fairly well. Keep up the good work.

[@AussieDetails]

Great comparison! A long video yes but the time flew by. Awesome information once again Jon. Cheers from chilly 🇨🇦!

[@ForensicDetailing]

thanks for that appreciate it.

[@abioqaas]

Nice to see BH Auto Wash rated highly. Brilliant stuff. Gyeon Bathe Essence I haven’t tried but generally love their stuff. The Carchem is completely unknown to me but must be great stuff considering how good many of these other shampoos are.

[@GMDetails]

Fantastic way to spend an hour with a coffee!!, I loved the way you split them all into their categories and tested to their capabilities. I actually predicted carchem 1900-1 winning as I recently done a product review of it a few months back in the summer and it’s been the best quality shampoo I’ve used in 5 yrs! It’s got everything, dilution, scent, lubricity, foam, cleaning power and I found it quick drying without water marks too. Very difficult to separate them , looking forward to the next test 👌

[@ForensicDetailing]

thanks graeme, kind of what you said is how I saw it. I couldnt really find fault with it and its the cheapest cost per wash. I had to almost keep saying that to myself though because there were so many good soaps that I would use in this line up. I wasnt sure if bath essence or BH should have won as well because I really like these 2. but ultimately the around twice the cost per wash of the car chem. thats what swung it this way for me.

[@TommyT_]

Definitely gonna have a good watch of this when I've got more time

[@KRELL427]

Great effort for a very informative video. I have recently been using chem guys glossworks it really leaves an excellant shine however I have noticed that it leaves a spotty residue on the Windows which is difficult to remove. Really notice it while driving in the rain with the wipers going.

[@barrygwilliam5367]

Once again a great video. Honest and to the point. I've been using Auto Finesse Lather as I was told it was PH neutral and wouldn't strip the glazes or waxes I use. But after hearing you say not to worry about PH levels, I think I'll try Bilt Hampers purely on the cleaning power. I can get gloss and shine from finishing products.

[@ForensicDetailing]

both the best cleaning shampoos are around 9.5 PH :) Its very very very hard to gauge how shampoos hit protective products more often than not the visual impact is the masking effect. almost impossible to test this at home.

[@trustinflames1022]

Thanks to these reviews I have I just bought some tac system mystic bubble, I look forward to using it the next couple of weeks.

[@paulf1767]

I was pleased to see Autoglym in one of your videos again. I rate their products but I'm just an amateur at this, so its comforting that someone I trust to give reviews show some of their products and fortuitously they don't do too bad.

[@ForensicDetailing]

the UHD is a great shampoo. but the problem is it was really impossible for lots of them to win this shootout just based on the fact if you use like the ones that are sub 10p a wash. they are really just as good (and that includes autoglyms own trade shampoo which is the second cheapest per wash in the test). but as a retail product is a cool one to use.

[@paulf1767]

@LOUi DC5 FL pleased to read I'm not alone using Autoglym. Readily available, cost effective and works well. I agree with the SRP comment but it works well on my paintwork, marking the trim is a huge minus point though. Just used their ultraHD wax for the first time and seems to be holding up well, it also marks the trim, on the plus side it makes me work slower which helps achieve a good finish.

[@marklacey1088]

paul frote HI Paul, no your not the only one I have been using UHD Wax, ever since Jon did the review on FDC. It's a great wax but just so user friendly. I waxed my wife's SLK last weekend and for a two door convertible there's a lot of paintwork 😀, I was able to cover nearly half the car and buff off with no problems, have also used on other cars with the same great results, Great depth of shine, smooth finish and yes reasonably durable. Great product

[@paulf1767]

@@marklacey1088 I wasn't brave enough to do half my 4x4 in one go, managed to do quarter at a time and the wax came off beautifully. Happy to read you are an advocate of it too.

[@scottanthony3556]

Great channel. Always enjoy watching your videos. I usually, but not exclusively, use meguiars products. For the Average DIY detailer, I find their products are good quality & last quite a while. I bought a big bottle of their car wash, nxt wax & tyre gel & they have lasted me 2 years (just ran out) & you get good results from them.

[@stuartstaples5859]

Great test and video Jon. Like you say twenty was a massive challenge to review but it was balanced and informative. Well done as always

[@martynedmiston2369]

Another great vid, thanks. I’m learning so much from someone who actually uses the products. In the vid you use the pressure wash to fill the bucket. Is that just to aspirate the solution to get it to foam or do you only use cold water. I use warm water as in my mind it helps get the concentrate to mix and helps keep your hands warm, do you use warm water? Loving Bilt Hamber products but never heard of them till I started watching your vids. Once again thanks for your efforts. 👍

[@diopsidem5]

Just got Carpro Reset. Really loving it! You can also put a little bit of it in your foam cannon instead of using foam shampoo

[@prf76]

I really like Meguiar’s Shampoo Plus, around £30 for 1 U.S. gallon (3.78 litres) 75ml in a 20 litre bucket. High lubricity, a ton of suds, gleaming shine when finished and a nice scent too.

[@lukeh3582]

A lot of effort involved in this video, so thanks! I use Bouncer’s Slick Mick. It has a good smell (important for me for all the wrong reasons), it’s reasonably high concentration and foams extremely well. Only downside for me is it’s very expensive. It would have been interesting to see how it faired in this test. I will probably try CarChem now. Thanks, and a big thumbs up!

[@asimnadeem500]

Hi sir i m back to worry you please guide me. I am trying to make wheel or rim cleaner the one which is used in car wash. Please. And wanted to tell you that kerosene works best in wax polish thanks for that.

[@mudguardrider8211]

I love your channel and have learnt so much from it. I am just running out of BH auto wash and looking for a replacement. As I only wash my own car I'm not really worries about price per wash in just looking for cleaning power and finish. Would you recommend Autoglym UHD or something else? I live the BH but it just doesn't soap at all although is very portent.

[@stwg32]

As always a pleasure to watch your vids Jon. I'm using the Gyeon bathe essence myself. I know it's not 5 liters but they do sell them in one litre bottels aswel and not just in 400ml ones. It also looks like they didn't provide you with one of their handpumps. Normally Gyeon delivers these even with 400ml bottles and are quite handy to use. One pump delivers exactly 2ml of product. These pumps aren't perfect either as the product can dry inside the tip of the nozzle and you'll need to pry out with a needle or paperclip first.

[@ForensicDetailing]

yer I did all the price averages for the 400ml and 1litre size. just wish they offered like 4000ml or 5000 but a litre you could argue is a bit like having 4 litres of normal strenght soap.

[@davidevans4609]

A great video and you can see how much work went into it

[@DrewJHarrison]

Is the Bilt Hamber a strip wash or can it be used as a maintenance wash without reapplying sealant, wax, etc?

[@davidbee8178]

Each one of your videos is a treat, Mate! I'm a pro detailer in MTL Canada and I've given up on the usual bucket and mitt wash and now use Optimum No Rinse and Wax on normally maintained cars with quite stunning results for VERY little expense per wash. BUT !! There IS a secret if you want way better than average results. FIRST, pour 5 capfuls into a 5 gallon bucket that has a lid on it because that amount will last you for 10 to 12 washes - AT LEAST. NEXT, take 2 or 3 VERY plush, thick, CLEAN 16"X16" cloths and soak them in the bucket. Fold each cloth into 4 and use ONE surface of the cloth for PER PANEL. DO NOT RE-DIP YOUR WASH CLOTH into the wash medium!!! (This beats the "two bucket method" by a country mile since your wash cloth AND your wash medium are ALWAYS CLEAN AND have NO GRIT in them whatsoever!!) Again: wash ONE panel with ONE side of the cloth and keep switching cloth sides for each new surface. EACH cloth has 8 sides, so 2 cloths should do for the average size car. With the Optimum No Rinse, and Wax, you can do one panel at time from the top down and then dry each panel right away with a soft waffle weave drying cloth spayed with your favourite Quick Detailer as a towel lubricant AND to add another layer of shine to the Carnauba Wax that is part of the Optimum's solution. At first I had doubters but everyone swore that they'd just had their car waxed after their wash! ( I call it a Detail Wash : ). BTW, I take FOUR, separate BLACK cloths and use one per each wheel and when finished, I put them in the wash to clean them SEPARATELY from the cloths I use on the cars. Happy detailing! Sorry for the long comment John - just wanted to get you back for your long vids! : )

[@ForensicDetailing]

awesome david thanks mate. so many peeps choose the ONR way.

[@kidoctane]

David.......this is exactly the way I do. Nice to see a pro-detailer using this rather than the BRS BTW - how do you dry after ONRWW

[@davidguberman4780]

Excellent method to suggest for ONR washing, especially now that old man winter has come upon us forcing us to work indoors without the hose. By the way, which plush microfiber do you use on your vehicles for this particular method? I've actually tried Detailing Image's reTHICKulous towels the past and had some moderate success with them.

[@davidbee8178]

@@kidoctane Sorry Joseph for the past due reply - only saw it today! : ) Just take any good soft waffle weave drying towel and spray it LIGHTLY with a quick detailer like Chemical Guys VO7 to make sure you don't dry the surface with a completely dry towel and flip the cloth over for each panel. So, two or three waffle weaves should do you for the whole car or maybe 4 for an SUV. Cheers and happy detailing . . . errr . . . washing ! BTW - I'm not familiar with the BRS acronym : ) ?

[@davidbee8178]

@@davidguberman4780 David, I got my cloths from Eshine in Canada but and they are thick but PROBABLY no thicker than YOUR THICKULOUS towels. Just about ANY PLUSH towel should do just fine. IF you have any doubts, you can always use 3 or four wash MITTS : ) The principle of the method has more to do with the fact that you don't RE-DIP your wash cloths or mitts into the wash bucket. IF your Thickulous cloths are the thickest possible, then it's all good. If you can remember NOT to rub put to PAT any really soiled areas, then you'll not damage your paint. After patting the really soiled area THEN go over the area again, letting the weight of the cloth do the washing. IF the surface is really heavily soiled, then you may need more than 3 or 4 cloths so and not to re-dimp then in your wash media which both dilutes AND soils it. Just also remember to wash your wheels with 4 separate black (if possible) wash cloths and clean them afterward separately in the washing machine! Happy detailing! Don't hesitate to write with any more Q's : )

[@JohyeahM]

Is this still accurate, or is there an updated version that I've not noticed??

[@jamesbutler606]

I've been using BH AutoWash for a little while now, i've been putting a little dollop of Auto Finesse Lather Summer Fruits in to get a nice scent from it, doesn't cause any residue issues and gives a nice stable lather. I do quite like the thin watery nature of it too, but then i have a ready supply of syringes to measure them out with.

[@MultiplyMaster]

Terrific video Jon, I'd love to see one on the pros and cons of over and under dosing. I'm and Adams user in the summer and a carchem user in the winter.

[@ForensicDetailing]

yo dave, overdosing just for me means its much harder to rinse and even if it looks like you have rinsed properly much higher chance of soap stains and all the concentrated soapy water that gets into the wing mirrors and run off areas, when that rruns out later on its gonna be more soapy.. underdosing can just mean theres like less cleaning power, less suds less slippyness. Im not sure which is the lesser of two evils really.

[@amarrashid599]

Excellent video this is exactly what you call a critical analysis and should be the standard of how it's done no less. I'm very pleased and appreciate your hard work on the comparison. Glad it's came from a British guy. Spot on lad 👌

Hi Jon! Have you had any tests or simply noticed from experience about the corrosive effects of these shampoos, just like you tested the snow foams? I know BH auto foam and their shampoo are anti-corrosive, but I'm wondering about the others? I have a full bottle of Koch Nano Magic and I'm wondering if maybe I should simply give it away and go with a BH cause I have to admit, some of those snow foams caused REALLY heavy corrosion on the test plates, so I'm not exactly nitpicking here, the effect is real and noticeable. Thanks again!

[@AnthonyWilliams-vh1ds]

My black 335D will need a light cut/finishing polish soon but my Kestrel polisher has started to spin really slowly and I can’t figure out why... So until I can fix it/buy a DA... What finish would you recommend if I still want it hydrophobic, but not so hard that when I come to do the correction I have to machine off a light ceramic... I want to give that Tac Systems moonlight a go once I’ve prepped the paint, but want something in the meantime to give it some protection... Hybrid ceramic wax maybe? I’d be interested to know your thoughts.... Definitely going to be investing in some Car Chem/Bilt Hamber products based on your reviews. 👍🏼

Hello John. Would you know of a shampoo that would work in a very hard water area. Where i live in the UK the water is very hard and i find it quite difficult to get the shampoo to foam and clean.

[@matty387]

What's your water hardness like? Hard water seems to kill the suds on BH Auto Wash or Gyeon Bathe in my area

[@videomaniac108]

I'm currently using the Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo on my almost new all-black 370Z and it does a good cleaning job with good gloss afterward. After I get the paint corrected and get a ceramic coating applied I will do some research to find a possibly better shampoo for the finish.

[@h2t26]

You are the best! This is probably the 10th video of your I've seen, subscribed after the 3rd one. i like how you test many different brands of a similar/same product and either the same of slimier conditions. Very few people on youtube bother to compare even two products together let alone what you are able to do. My only issue is that so many of your products are either only sold in European if they are sold he its a higher price, partly do to shipping, exchange rate, and limited availability. So not sure how to handle that since you may also face the same issues with American products. Anyway, keep up the good work.

[@ForensicDetailing]

thanks you for the kind words, theres a lot of channels springing up doing similiar things.. you wont see many doing videos like this they cost about 10 times more to make than they recoup and do less views than a 2 minute video on one product if I put lots of foam in the background and say its amazing in the title. But I find them fun to do and hopefully they are interesting enough.. yes its a bit of a problem because lots of euro products are not viable priced in the UK and vice versa.

[@spikestern3237]

What is the difference between Carchem Red and this one in the video? It's the same 1900: 1, but is there something different about them than in color? I will buy a 5 L can or 1 L liter, enough for a while for the whole family 🙂

[@joshuaopfer6566]

Very good video. Wish you would have did turtle ice because that is what I currently use. Big thing I dont like about it, is its really thick and gel like so you have to use alot. I say you have to is because it comes out in clumps. I also wish you would have put the anglewax products in this video as well because I'm thinking about switching to that line and would liked to see how it held up against theses shampoos. But non the less another great great educating helpfully video like always.

[@Vantavimeow]

I'm guessing Gyeon BATHE ESSENCE has been changed since you bought it? on the website it's a clear liquid now, it also comes with a pump lid you can use.

[@qwikss4469]

Hey Jon, disregarding price, which has the most lubricity out of these?

[@ashl3yow3n]

I have 2 cheap wash and wax's is it bad that i mix them together

[@jamest5149]

Awesome review and comparison ... great work and content. I do note that one of the shampoos change your cars colour from blue to red, is that a function of PH level?

[@ForensicDetailing]

thats some strong stuff!!! :))

[@Audittr2108]

No one does product reviews as well as this channel! The CarChem is currently £21.99 for 5 litres too.

[@GMDetails]

Chris_Audittr2108 seconded 👍

[@jaysmoke3132]

Agree, best on KZbin.

[@7071t6]

Wrong in australia we have car craft auto detailing channel, which tests most of the products that are used on a retail level and also pro car care products as well. :)

[@TheLucidityx]

Awesome vid dude, was waiting for this one just to confirm on buying the CarChem shampoo. Bought! Think they've sold a few ltrs today. Haha.

[@DG-888]

U still like carchem shampoo

[@rapidswgoh3632]

Hi John. I love your channel, it's great to see some science behind subjectivity. keep up the good work! I was wondering, as you're such a big fan of Carchem 1900:1 - have you tried their Ceramic Suds shampoo? ( Si02). I'm really interested to see what you think of it. Significantly more expensive than 1900:1 per wash but as you said, I also don't mind paying for a product that's worth it. Interesting to see the durability of the Si02 protection it offers too.

[@ForensicDetailing]

hey there ive not tried it sorry

[@ODKWaxes]

Great video mate, i will have to get you some ODK products to test

[@usasupra23]

I love these videos and no stupid commercials/ads!!!

[@markfrankland2636]

Hi mate just got my m140 a few months back ( 68 plate ) love the channel , slightly off topic but was wondering weather you had experienced the imfamous creaking door rubber issue and what to put on it , i`ve used gummy fledge but comes back after a week or so and don't actually know which part is making the creak ( just lubing everything rubber ) I know I could take it back to bmw but seems a hassle for a job I can make part of my cleaning regime .

[@ForensicDetailing]

yo mark, when I had the buckled alloy on the nearside front. the doors creaking was there. but when that was sorted cant say Ive noticed any door creaking. sounds silly but just check your tyre pressures all match and next time you have the wheels off just make sure none of them are even slightley buckled because maybe its the extra vibration on one side that triggers it. because I have the same rubber as you and mines not doing it. so just a though it could be like vibration triggering the underlying problem. I dont think any product will sort it really, like you say it will only be a temporary fix. awesome cars though mate.

Extremely helpful thanks!

[@blondestreak9772]

How does the polar wash stack up against the auto Glyn shampoos?

[@silviaendings6665]

Your the David Bellamy of car detailing I just can't stop watching and buying everything you recommend 😂

[@ForensicDetailing]

wumaging thwooo the undergrowff!!!!

[@coot19]

Great video jon really enjoyed, any suggestions on a shampoo to use alongside fusso? The goal is to clean the car without any added protection or waxes that will interfere with the fussos repellency to water

[@ForensicDetailing]

soft99 creamy shampoo :) why not its lovely and dense.

[@alantaylor2]

Been using Car Chem 1900:1 for the last 6 months & it's the best shampoo i have ever used. Mine comes with pump dispensers so 2-3 pumps gives oodles of rich foam. A 500ml bottle will last a weekend warrior for ages. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

[@05berrygre]

Agree with you on the 1900:1, I haven't looked at using anything else

[@05berrygre]

@@dimmacommunication Yes, but I use it at 1000:1 or 700:1 as I like more suds.

[@richardhurr31]

Was hoping you'd have included Wax Planet Lava. One I'm tempted to try as I've heard good things and I'm almost out of my CarChem 1900:1.

[@richardseem7948]

great comparison again.top notch performance and video.🍻🍻

[@jasonmennie9629]

Great video and i respect your findings and your winner, i have tried well over 20+ shampoos and the number 1 thing i look for is slickness (which you did not mention much in the video) which is why Carpro reset is my favourite as it is super slick and i use it at 20ml so pretty cost effective aswell and it foams well and not overally expensive to buy either, so i find reset the best all rounder and i have Gyeon essence also but will still use reset, based on how good it is to use and slickness.

[@ForensicDetailing]

I honestly couldnt measure slickness jason, when I planned out the video ages ago it was one of the things I was gonna try and look at and rate them on. a couple of the companies that manufacture also say there is no like lab style test for it.. its a bit like a bar of soap, the more you lather it up and wet it up the more it slips out of your hand.

[@jasonmennie9629]

@@ForensicDetailing fair enough, looking forward to snowfoam one next 😀.

[@killacamfoo]

I've been using G Wash for a year on a car coated with CSL. I didn't know it was that highly concentrated! I use two capfuls for about 4 gallons of water. May need to try it out using less product and gauge the results again. I find it to clean well, and works flawlessly with their coatings. Foams decently, but sometimes I have to shoot some more water in my wash bucket to reactivate the suds. Yet again, I wish there was an importer for Bilt Hember and Koch Chemie. They seem to always perform and have unique characteristics. Fantastic video.

[@ForensicDetailing]

G wash yer its actually a 1:1800 I notice they say you can use 2-4 capfulls. I think 1:1800 is like what 6-7 ml for 10 litres. Or half a capfull though. not sure. I would say with ten litres 2 caps should give you a decent amount of suds. I wouldnt go beyond 2 with 10 litres though.

[@NickM1013]

HStuning is a US importer, although its expensive and they don’t stock a lot of the line. The soap is available though.

[@BianShaw]

What would you recommend for cleaning the inside of a artic truck, sone examples of dirt Im facing is ash tray full of cigerates, dashboard full of dust and the odd coffee stain. Something that go in the bag with a micro fibre be handy to have is nice and clean in the morning so im not driving in someone elses filt.

[@ForensicDetailing]

something like bilt hamber surfex HD at like 20-30:1 or greenstar at like 40-50:1... any APC though shamrock really.
