I do like my pure shampoo's so I was pleased to receive a sample of Nanolex Pure Shampoo

If I'm being honest I do like my car shampoo's to smell nice. I know, I know its not important but it is to me
The sample supplied had a chemical smell to it IMO

I mixed the 20ml sample with 12 litres of water, so a bit more dilute than the manufactures recommend, 200:1 - 500:1 (water to product)

Then gave it a quick blast with the Power Washer to 'foam it up'



My bucket quickly foamed up with some nice thick foam which now smelt very pleasant. Like a lightly scented fabric conditioner is about as close as I can get lol

Using my winter wash mitt, a Microfibre Madness IncrediMitt, I set about washing the test mule for this mini-review, my Audi S4





Prior to shampooing the car it had been pre-washed using ValetPro CPW

In use, the shampoo felt quite slick and even tho' the car had been pre-washed the water in the wash bucket at the end of the clean was more dirty than I expected TBH

When I'm ready to purchase some more car shampoo (I've got a bit to go thro' first) this will top of my list

A great shampoo. You won't be disappointed with this one

How do you think it compares to Bilt Hamber Auto wash ? I know you like both but would you have a preference for either one.

@Daytonapig - Both are 'pure' shampoo's & both IMHO are very similar in their cleaning effectiveness
So I like them both

The main advantage for the BH Auto-Wash over the Nanolex is the cost effectiveness
I always wash my cars with 15litres of water & measure my shampoo with a syringe (yes, yes I know lol)

300ml of BH Auto-Wash is £10 delivered
http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/bilt-hamber-auto-wash-cat3.html
This product is seriously concentrated. I use 9ml of product / 15litres of water

Whereas the Nanolex Pure Shampoo is £12.50 for 500ml delivered
http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/nanolex-pure-shampoo.html
I would use this at 30ml of product / 15litres of water

BUT I do like trying new products so when my BH Auto Wash is finished (or any other of the other 5 shampoo's I have on the go at the mo lol) I'm going to get a bottle of Nanolex

LOL. I am in the same boat, i am trying to work my way through the various shampoo i have accumulated, but when i read your review i couldn't help wanting just one more! I wish my doctor could give me something for this addiction !!:anguished:
 
A little off topic but still on shampoo. Does it make any difference to its cleaning abilities if the water is hot or cold?

The dirt removing abilities are increased with the temperature of the water.
