Must be one of the better "off the shelf" type of products.
But I'm with lawrence. Carchem Luxury shampoo is amazeballs and smells bloody delicious.

1 bucket washes - Check

It does however seem I was a bit ahead of you guys as I liked using some advanced detailing techniques: newspaper to dry windows...

Re: Car shampoo
Different shampoos react differently to different types of paints and what lsp is on the paint. From all the Meguiars shampoos I rate the Gold Class the best in their range. I also like the CarChem Luxury shampoo and CarPro Reset. I haven't tried the Sonax one so can't comment there. Theres no one magic shampoo, as mentioned too many factors around static, dust attraction, paint type, lsp etc.
