what car shampoo you guys are currently using?

i finished my OSREN's Nano Wax and found out that they have already discontinued the product and only left with the Bubble & Wax which i find it much to be desired. i paired it with a foam lance (MJJC) and the Karcher K.2050 and it's watery and weak. at 1:9 dilution, it is practically unusable and is only passable at 1:4.

previously with the Nano Wax, 1:10 gives off a very thick and satisfying foamy sud. almost no way to get it with the Bubble & Wax - the only upside is that it's affordable.

I guess many of us here, do use it. Are you planning to get one or having any issues?

planning to get one, so the maintenance step is spray > rinse > wipe off with drying towel?



i abit skeptic on the spray > rinse process, that will not accidentally remove the product from the car?

After shampoo wash, I leave the car wet, and then spray on, and then wipe it off, normally there is light misty residue, so use another cloth to wipe it off.

It works well. biggrin.gif

My car is parked outdoor hence there's plenty of hard watermark on the windscreen. I've tried to use IGL Ecoclean Glass+ to remove the hard windscreen watermark but to no effect at all.

Any other recommended product that I can buy to remove these windscreen watermark or need to send to detailing shop to do so?

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I don't have any car polish or wax at home. Any recommended product that can be safely used for windscreen as well as car body?

try Soft 99 Glass Stain Cleaner and once you're done with it, coat it with their Glaco but not too thick cause it's known to cause wiper judder (can confirm).

the metal sheets on the car's body and the glass that forms the windscreen have different hardness so you cannot have one product that does it all. if there's one product that promises to do all then it's either a 100% scam product or a guarantee 100% chance to mar/scratch either one of the surfaces.

Thats for those who done have time so spend on their car, so it also works by just spray and rinse. But as we all know, if you want better protection, there is a necessity to invest some on our beloved baby! biggrin.gif

Sounds about right as OSREN's bubble & wax should be a less concentrated shampoo judging by it's dilution ratio compared to the good old Nano Wash. There's another thing you can do to get thicker foam from your current setup, which is to change the foam cannon orifice size.

Your MJJC foam cannon might already provide your with an extra smaller sized orifice that you can try, if not then you can consider buying one, i recommend this seller, can message the seller for advice on which size best suits you.
