Autoglym Shampoo or Meguiars NXT Shampoo?

I'm split between these two, anyone use one or the other?

I usually use the Meguiars range but I'm tempted by Autoglym as it's slightly cheaper and you get more I'm looking at 2.5L of Autoglym at £3 less, against 1.9L of Meguiars.

Autoglym reckon on getting 125 washes out of that size, which I thought was pretty good. Anyone know how much I'd get out of the Meguiars - I would have thought 90-100 washes, based on the same amount as Autoglym?

Cheers
Steve

For those with well-tuned and slightly hairy cars, I'd recommend Head & Shoulders.

Has to be the NXT , the NXT goes for miles - don't put too much in the bucket (A capful tops) or you'll be floating in suds. Serious performance http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/ does 1.9L for about £13.

I like the Zymol stuff for washing or the Swissol car bath. Of the 2 you listed, have to be the NXT

I'm liking the Meguires greatly although I have previously only been using Turtle Wash 'n' Wax.

Most impressed with their detailing clay, until I realised what I thought was tar and crap stuck to the paintwork was in fact millions of stone chips !
