I have been using JJ Baby Shampoo & water as a slip solution for claying for years now and love it and it's cheap.

Maybe I should try 1Z Perls as a hair shampoo to get extra gloss and protection!

Funny.... I used Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash on my wife's car Sunday and it smelled a little familiar. Then I made a connection... it smelled like baby shampoo...
It's taken 30 years for one to accomplish what another one has been unable to accomplish in 100 years.

Yes, but does it keep your hair from falling out? Give me two years and I'll be using a PC on my forehead!Originally posted by dternst

The Acura guy is correct. Hair shampoo is very mild. It will not strip off the wax or harm your vehicle. The downside is that it is not strong enough to remove diesel blow bye, grease, & built up silicone on tires. Also, the mild surfactants are easily affected by the grease & dirt and their performance will die out quickly. So, If you are a fanatic washing your own car every other day, it will work fine.
If you are a detailer at a detail shop and want something that will remove grease, silicone, some brake dust, etc and you want to use it on 3 or 4 cars, the hair shampoo won't work. You need a detergent blend that can handle a tougher job.
I don't know about pricing. I know I can purchase a great car wash & wax for $11.00 per gallon and I dilute it at 80:1. That's about 14 cents a gallon!!.

The advantage, of course, is that it makes your car silky soft and easy to manage.

If your car is not dirty shampoo is no problem.It is gentle enough for hair and wont harm your paint.I use head and shoulders for my brothers car because he has major dandruff!
