For more recent now members. You are about to find out, that most people here take better care of their cars than they do for their own personal care.....

personal shampoo = 32oz = $2.85 (Tresemme Tresemme Smooth Silky Shampoo

Car shampoo - 16 oz = $17.99 (BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo

This has little to do with anything other than economies of scale. The universe of people buying shampoo is quite a bit large than those buying boutique car shampoo. The car chemical companies that serve the boutique market have to make it from a fraction of the population. Where the shampoo people can make a lower margin over a greater number of units sold.

Nothing more special or more expensive about car shampoo over personal shampoo. Not saying they are the same by any stretch. Just not more expensive.

I am in the chemical business and I am also a sucker for certain boutique products. Marketing works. Plus we need to support the people offering guideance a d forums like this. That ain't cheap.
