I've been using halfords Advanced Car Wash which is wax free so doesn't leave annoying wax on the screen, etc. but went to get some more yesterday and it is discontinued. A quick glance at the other car wash stuff suggested that virtually all of it contains wax but I didn't have time to go over it all. Question now is what does everyone else use? I've had a look around and found ref to Turtle Wax Professional Wash N Shine (comes in 5L) which doesn't contain wax or silicon - is this any use or are there other alternatives that are easily available? Thoughts appreciated - ideally stuff that doesn't remove all the wax on the car but does a decent cleaning job.

Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild (BTBM) - claims to be 'wax friendly/safe' but doesn't container glossy additives (isnt a wash and wax). Best shampoo I've found and I've tried a lot! You'll probably have to get it mail order - have a look at the Rubbish Boys website as you only need to spend about £30 to get free postage (or some places on ebay sell Dodo Juice stuff with free delivery). Buy the larger bottle - it'll last you ages and it is fantastic stuff (I originally bought a small bottle but have just replaced it with a large bottle).

DJ BTBM, and Bilt Hamber Auto-wash are my two go-to shampoos due to their excellent free-rinsing properties.
DG 901 I tried, and didn't see what all the fuss was - it worked okay, but wasn't as concentrated as the other two, so they still work out better vfm even if the initial cost looks on the high side.
