| Autoglym Shampoo Hi, I have about a thousand autoglym shampoo's after everyone for the past 2 years has bought me the cleaning kit in the little bag thing. For the past year I have used carplan shampoo which froths up nicely and leaves a great shine. On tryin the autoglym I noticed the stuff doesn't frofth up at all and when you're cleaning the car, you can hardly see where you have already cleaned!!  Thinking it was a dodgy bottle, I opened another and another - they are all the same and none of them frofth up!!! Is the autoglym actually any good? I would suggest to stick to car plan!!!

| Re: Autoglym Shampoo I'll seconnd the Meguiar's recommendation, I'd go for the NXT wash over the Gold Class though. If you can find an on-line retailer then go for Meguiar's Hyperwash or Shampoo Plus, they come in U.S gallon for about the same price as the shampoos in Halfords and last way longer. |

| Re: Autoglym Shampoo I use the AG Shampoo and I don't think it's supposed to 'froth' up like some shampoos do. It does however lubricate the surface quite well and leaves a decent amount of shine. It is also almost ph neutral so it won't strip off wax unlike the cheaper bands.

| Re: Autoglym Shampoo I tried Autoglym Shampoo years ago and it was the same , so I went back to using Turtle Wax stuff. I'm now using Meguires NXT which I think is ace!
