Best performing shampoo

What are peoples opinions on the best shampoo out there at the moment?

I use the gold class stuff from megs but its a tad on the pricey side (as is most of their stuff anyway). Its still produces amazing suds and is handy for adding a drop or 2 to the snowfoam mix...did i mention it smells awesome lol.

Im in the market for a bit of a change though as i will be running low as of next weekend so has anybody got any challengers lol. Hopefully H13BS M will drop in and suggest something from his huge inventory.

There is no doubt in my mind the best shampoo on the market is dodo juice 'born to be mild'.

The best budget shampoos on the market (in my oppinion) are the following:

3M Car Shampoo, 473ml Bottle for only £6.45

Products - Serious Performance

Shame you're in Scotland - bodywork place in St Leonards has a shop, sells Autoglym car shampoo in 4 litre bottles for about £12, does me just fine! Try your local industrial estate for car repairers / bodyshops, maybe you've got something similar near you.

mate he's lucky he's in scotland! He's got polish bliss! Plus all car cleaning gear is accessible via the internet, so doesn't really matter where you live.

I quite like the Meguiars Gold Class too. Halfords are doing a 3-for-2 deal at the moment which brings it down to less than £10 a bottle, lasts for ages too - a little goes a long way. Doesn't seem to strip wax, sheets well on rinsing and leaves a nice finish when drying

Gold Class is the best I've found, but agreed a tad pricey.

Im a big fan of "Snow Foam". Need a pressure washer to apply it though.

Its fun to put on, looks good, and gets the car clean.

Turtle wax shampoo, I've used it for years, get it in Halfords cheap as chips if you buy a 5L bottle.
I see no need to spend a fortune on shampoo, I look after my cars better than most, and although there are better shampoos out there turtle wax is good (in my mind) I clay & polish once a year, then regular waxing, (using good products - such as Autoglym, Mcguirs and colonite) keeps the cars looking tip top.
So its down to personal choice I suppose, as long as you keep away from washing up liquid ! (only kidding) I'm sure you know
