I would also agree with this, the hose produces some cracking suds when I have used the Megs Gold Class..............

I bought some Gold class at the weekend to try, any ideas how it performs in the lance on it's own ?

You are not going to get good results out of a lance with 'shampoo' over specific snow foam........assuming that is what your really after?

Was just a thought as at the moment i mix it with SSF, just wondered how it would compare on it's own.

I tried a sample and didn't get on.

I have used Zym0l autowash which is good, Sonax (1L for £5 from the Vauxhall dealer) which is good and had a sample of the bilt hamber autowash which is truly great

Getting a proper bottle of the autowash and some of their foam when mine runs out.

Is gold class better than NXT? I'm half way through a bottle of that at the mo.

Johnny50 · 15-04-2008, 15:56

I've never tried the NXT shampoo, but was fairly happy with the Gold Class, although will try anything once !

Historically I have used the Nxt Gen Shampoo but changed the Gold Class only recently, in my opinion it cleans the paintwork slightly better..........however it doesn't smell as nice............

I really like the NXT , however I've never viewed forums such as Detailing World before , or purchased anything from them , all my stuff has came from local accessory shops and Halfords - having said that my car isnt that special , maybe when/if I get something like another vRS then I will start using clays and glazes etc , feels a bit OTT for an 8 yr old 1.4 with wheeltrims!

Johnny50 · 15-04-2008, 16:10

Why not start practicing on your car then ?
Never too late to get it all looking good.

Nah mate, there is nothing better than an 8 year old 1.4 with wheel trims that looks like it is 6 months old..................

Normally its just 'wash-sealant-wax-trim detail' about 3 or 4 times a year , supplemented by the ocassional wash and rinse every 3 or 4 weeks. Back in the day when i had the vRS for example , it used to get washed and polished virtually every weekend!

Oh , and this is how the Furby looks after a half day sesh at the mo (using just the method above) this was last summer so it was 'only' 7 years old then...lol!
