I couldn`t find any of the recommended shampoos in the Autopia book in my area. I ordered some shampoo and other stuff yesterday. We had a storm last and the new car I bought 3 days ago looks horrible. It will be several days before I get the shampoo - what can I do now? I feel like an idiot for asking this question. But this forum has turned me into a paranoid fanatic.

Go to target or pep boys and buy some Meguiar`s Gold Class shampoo it is pretty good stuff.

Actually, I think I list Meguiar`s as one of the shampoos to use (It might be #00 that I mention, which is the same basic product as MG).

David,
The shampoos recommended in the book are:
Pinnacle, P21S, Eimann and Zaino.

Meguiar`s Gold Class Shampoo is really cheap and foams well, so I like it. Buy the larger sizes, like $7 for a gallon. That will last a LONG time for one car.

yea right - go to Target and buy a gallon of Meguiar Gold Class. I did that few
days ago.
It would cost you $15 to buy it direct from Meguiar ( have new catalog at
home ), but at Target - surprisingly - it costs only $9.99.
What a bargain ! And I have got a lot of gentle wheel wash for a long time :) LOL
(I do wax them with Blitz)

OK, I got the Meguiar`s. It says to use an ounce. How am I supposed to know how much that is? Is that something you learn in detailing school? :nixweiss
They should use a cap that can be used for measuring like they have for liquid laundry detergents.

I don`t know the size of my bucket, but I put a capful (I know, it`s hard to pour into such a small cap) in the bucket. I say start with the capful and see how many suds you get. Then go up or down from there.

I find that a single GLUG works very well when mixing 1 bucket load. :up
