Meguiar's Shampoo Plus is completely biodegradable, so there is no need to worry about its possible toxic effects.

Thanks to the extreme dilution ratio of 128:1, the shampoo will last you a very long time, and in combination with a very favorable price, its use is absolutely ideal for all home and professional uses. All products from the detailer range are completely safe and gentle even when used by untrained personnel and are designed to achieve the maximum possible results in the care of your car.

Tips for washing your car

• Careless washing is the main source of paint damage. Improper hand washing or visiting gantry/brush washers will inevitably result in scratches and damage to the paintwork.
• Always wash in such a way as to eliminate the risk of damaging the paint.
• Always use only your own proven shampoo and not over-the-counter shampoos whose origin is unknown to you and whose washing properties have not been carefully verified.
• Do not use dishwashing detergents, household detergents, non-contact or active cleaners and foams, degreasers, solvents and other detergents! These cleaners are generally not gentle on the protective wax layer or polishing oils on the paint surface, drying it out and leaving it exposed and without any protection. Unprotected paint will begin to degrade very soon on the surface, its oxidation and loss of gloss will begin to show, it is very dangerously exposed to the adverse effects of the surrounding environment and is significantly more susceptible to mechanical and chemical damage.
• The water you wash your car with should be as close to body temperature as possible.
• Use the two-bucket method or a Meguiar's bucket with a Grit Guard liner.
• Do not use foam sponges or gloves with large braided fibers. These sponges and gloves cannot effectively absorb dirt, and using them can scratch the paint. Use only a gentle washing glove with very fine bristles made of microfiber or natural lamb's wool, which catch small dirt and absorb it.
• Always dry your car after washing! This will prevent the formation of water spots caused by minerals contained in the water. In addition, active drying prevents the redeposition of dust during spontaneous drying.
• For drying, use only the high-quality, extremely absorbent microfiber drying towel X1802 Meguiar's Supreme Drying Towel or X2000 Meguiar's Water Magnet , or the superior natural chamois X2100 Meguiar's Natural Chamois . Locally, you can dry hard-to-reach areas with compressed air (watch out for re-contamination with oil that can spray out of the nozzle!). We do not recommend drying with a silicone squeegee, which can catch a grain of dust and scratch the paint.
• Meguiar's shampoo does not need to lather at all when washing and still has all its great properties and is 100% gentle. Always mix the shampoo into the water, moreover, there is no need to lather the shampoo.

Recommended procedure for washing a car

• Rinse your car from loose dirt with pressurized water or a sponge from the bottom up. The lower parts of the car are the most dirty, so when rinsing from the bottom up, the water acts on the dirtiest places for the longest time and thus soaks the dirt for the longest time. In addition, all the dirt from the higher parts flows downwards and thus helps to remove soaked dirt from thresholds, wheels or chassis parts.
• If you want to pre-wash the car, dilute the shampoo in the foamer in a ratio of 10:1.
• The shampoo creates a rich, stable foam that you spray on the entire surface of the car and leave for 5 minutes or as needed.
• By the action of the foam, you soak up stubborn dirt, e.g. dried insects or road dirt, and achieve a perfect pre-wash, strengthen the shine and keep the protective layer intact.
• Do not rinse the car from the foam!
• Dilute the shampoo in a 128:1 ratio in the bucket.
• Afterwards, wash the entire body with shampoo by hand from top to bottom, i.e. from the cleanest parts to the dirtiest.
• Always wash the glove thoroughly when soaking in the bucket to remove any dirt and you haven't put it back on the paint.
• Rinse the shampoo from the body using pressurized water or a sponge from top to bottom. The running water will help to remove the shampoo even from hard-to-reach places.
• Finally, slowly rinse the car once more from top to bottom, but this time only with a very thin stream of water flowing freely from the hose without a pressure attachment. With this step, up to 80% of the remaining water can be removed from the varnish, making subsequent drying much easier.
• Dry the car with a high-quality, extremely absorbent microfiber drying towel X1802 Meguiar's Supreme Drying Towel or X2000 Meguiar's Water Magnet , or superior natural chamois X2100 Meguiar's Natural Chamois .
• If necessary, reinforce the protective wax layer with one of Meguiar's quick waxes.
