accumulator, that griots' looks good. I might just go with that. 40 bucks a gallon seems like the best so far.
can you elaborate on why you only us this one?
thanks!
I use the Griot's because of all the "normal factors": cleans well, gentle enough on my LSP, *great* lubricity and presumably also great encapsulation. It just *works* with my wash regimen...virtually never get wash-induced marring and I don't have to redo my LSPs all the time even though I use it kinda strong these days.
I have little (not quite "no"
) doubt that the Optimum and DuraGloss may well be perfectly OK, but I'm not eager to try fixing something that's not broken just to save the amount of money in question. If somebody else wants to go that route I bet it'll work out OK. ( Note that
Tom P says those are OK and his word is enough for me.)
As I've posted before, I do find that the better shampoos make it a *lot* easier to wash without marring, and it can be funny how some of the good ones (e.g., BlackFire, Pinnacle) were just *so* harsh on my LSP! I really did like the Pinnacle back when I was using Souveran on everything, hey...I had to rewax all the time anyhow
But what I simply don't get is buying the little bottles that so many come in. If you use as much shampoo as I do you'd go through a pint/etc. in no time, and when you add up the cost I'd think that even the Griot's compares OK if you buy the latter in gallons. But Optimum/Duragloss cost what...20-25% less that Griot's? That *would* add up to pretty good savings mighty quick!
