The most basic item you need when washing your car is a suitable shampoo. With so much choices available, which type of shampoo would be the best option for you?
Before this, many detailers would advise that after you wax or ceramic coat your car, you do not need to use shampoo to wash the car anymore. This is the worst advise they can give and honestly, as professionals, they should be ashamed of themselves! A shampoo not only helps to remove dirt, oil and road grime off the paintwork easily, it also adds as a lubricant when you wash the car to minimize swirl marks and scratches. Imagine you have a small piece of nasty stone grit on the paintwork. With the added lubrication of a shampoo, chances of causing ugly swirl marks is highly reduced compared to just washing with water. So if your detailer tell you no need use shampoo, just use water to wash your car can liao, I advise you to stay far far away from them and take your business elsewhere.
