Kxbc Turbocharged February 27, 2007 Share February 27, 2007 Seeking expert advice here as lazy newbie and also not into detailing. Just want to have a simple shampoo application for fortnightly wash and hopefully, give some shine and/or protection. I note there are wash & wax shampoo being sold (currently using the 3M normal car shampoo). Are they any good when compared to ordinary car shampoo? Saw an old thread about such shampoos and note that it causes the wipers to jutter when used to wash the windscreen though that can be removed by another washing of Mama Lemon. If there are good brands around, can recommend? TIA. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzrmazda3 6th Gear February 27, 2007 Share February 27, 2007 Bro, try not to use those 'Wash & Wax' shampoo Like what you have said it will cause your wipers to judder and will 'DEFINATELY' not removable by the use of Mama Lemon Jus use those normal car shampoo without wax composite and then layer a sealant/spray wax over it. It would at most take you another 20 mins for the whole ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curahee 1st Gear February 27, 2007 Share February 27, 2007 I dun believe in shampoo tat can also wax at the same time... The best for u is wash it with a car shampoo and den spray aqua wax, wipe off and job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kxbc Turbocharged February 27, 2007 Author Share February 27, 2007 Thanks for both the replies . Any recommended spray-on wax you guys find good and easy to use? Aqua wax is a brand of spray-on wax? Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom99 Neutral Newbie February 27, 2007 Share February 27, 2007 Best still is not to wash the front windscreen with shampoo. The judder issue will be eliminated. I can't really understand the reason(s) behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzrmazda3 6th Gear February 27, 2007 Share February 27, 2007 I'm using the JW products from Bro Gen2 It's quick and easy Protection is there despite kena-ing a few heavy downpours Another one is the Meguiar's Tech Wax (Spray Type) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzrmazda3 6th Gear February 27, 2007 Share February 27, 2007 Agree Bro Also never ever wash the windscreen with the cloth that we use to clean & wax the car body. It will result in juddering in the long run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kxbc Turbocharged February 27, 2007 Author Share February 27, 2007 Got it. Will keep a look out either in petrol stations or Carrefour. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahbengdriver 6th Gear February 27, 2007 Share February 27, 2007 A very good one is Meguiar's NXT shampoo. 2 litress at abt $19.00. It does not have wax but polymer substance. I am using it to even wash my rims n dort is easier to remove because after washing it leaves a thin film of polymer on the paintwork. It is also gentle on PPS. However, like any car shampoo, if it flows over yr windscreen, u need to separately wash the windscreen with things such as MAMA lemon so that wipper do not judder when they swipe.

Kxbc Turbocharged February 27, 2007 Author Share February 27, 2007 Like that ah. Now I even wash the windscreen with 3M car shampoo. One thing whack the whole car, including rims when I feel like it. So far no juddering for wipers yet. But I note your advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
