Next, we have Carmate KK129 Shampoo with Wax. Things are looking good for this shampoo, BUT, foaming ability is almost zero! Water beading is slightly better than control. Water sheeting is faster than control area. Next we move to shampoos that are reported not to generate much suds.ДЇirst, we have Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner. Sad to say, there was no difference in water sheeting between the washed area and control. While other Wash & Waxes appear translucent, MeguiarвЂ™s Ultimate Wash & Wax is opaque, and it would not separate into two different layers unlike certain Wash & Gloss shampoos out there. The key difference is dispersed wax technology. Next is the highly anticipated MeguiarвЂ™s Ultimate Wash & Wax. Albeit the beads wonвЂ™t match any wax or even oils from a polish, but they do appear rounder than the beads on the control area. I think this shampoo does leave something behind and will bead water.

ItвЂ™s hard to tell from this picture, but it does significantly sheet water away faster. Yup, you read that right, 1:20, not the common 1:128(1oz. The interesting this about this shampoo is itвЂ™s dilution ratio, 1:20. Next, Malco Ultra Violet Wash & Wax Shampoo. Sheeting is way faster than control! Way to go ArmorAll!ДЇoams well, although a little bit lacking compared to the previous shampoos. Now this product should be interesting, just look at the packaging! Again, do take this result with a pinch of salt.Д«eading wise, not significantly better than the control area.Д¤th shampoo, ArmorAll Ultra Shine Wash & Wax. Surprisingly, it does not sheet faster than the control area.

Similar product description to Zaino Z7, can we expect the same results? We shall seeвЂ¦ Note вЂFormulated to polish and shine as it cleansвЂ™ Sheeting is faster than control area, but no improved beading too. Before I perform the test, I rewash the panel with Osren Multi Clean(no picture). Not much difference between washed and control.ДЇoaming ability is tested through the foam gun set at the maximum shampoo to water ratio. To test beading ability, clean water is sprayed from an atomizing chemical resistant spray head. Do take the results with about 200grams of salt. Please note that this test is flawed because the shampoo will also spill to the control area(right side of the panel), so that might affect the results too. Washed with a small sponge, and left for 20 seconds before rinsing off.ДЄfter rinsing, Optimum Car Wash will sheet off water faster than the control area. About 16ml of shampoo is mixed with 500ml of water. Panels will be rinsed with a gentle splash of water and foaming ability is tested through the foam gun.ДЇirst up, Optimum Car Wash(Note: this is NOT the No-Rinse). I speculate that there will be a compromise between foaming ability and beading/sheeting ability. So I will try to see if itвЂ™s FO REAL!ДЇoaming ability is tested because certain wash and wax shampoos do not foam much at all and makes you feel like washing the car with water. I evaluate on beading ability because some shampoos show pictures of water beading on the product package, indicating the shampoo being able to bead water off the surface. Sheeting ability is tested because if the shampoo really вЂwaxesвЂ™ the surface, then there should be higher surface tension, causing water to be repelled off the paint faster. The shampoos will be tested and evaluated on three aspects: HereвЂ™s how water behaves on the clean panel. This is followed with a strong All Purpose Cleaner wash to remove polish residues and oils. To prep the panel, I polished it with MeguiarвЂ™s #83 Dual-Action Cleaner/Polish via rotary 1500rpm to remove any old waxes and clean the paint at the same time. So the test panel will be used to test the shampoos. I also review MeguiarвЂ™s new Ultimate Wash & Wax. However, do they really do that? Do Wash & Wax shampoos actually add something to the finish and negate the need to wax a car?Or are they pure marketing BS? I attempt to find out to these questions by comparing several Wash & Wax and non-Wash & Wax shampoos.

Wash and Shine, Wash and Wax, Wash and Gloss, car shampoos these days are marketed not only to clean your vehicle but also to enhance the gloss or add some form of protection to the paint.
