Title: Flash car wash system
Post by tonyboy on Apr 18^th, 2010, 8:05pm

Hello, iv'e got one of those flash carwash systems, pretty good as it happens, well iv'e run out of the flash shampoo, and the only place i can see any is on ebay, the cheapest being around £15 and the dearest being about £35, What i would like to find out is, is there anywhere else i can get this shampoo from or can i use an alternative shampoo in it..... and any thoughts on it if anybody else uses one........... Cheers

Funny as it may seem, I heard a story hair shampoo started out as engine degreaser.

Haven't tried it yet but worth an experiment ;D

There is also a myth that you can use hair conditioner as a wax ? ? !!. Must admit i have some Zymol liquid wax that has a lovely coconut smell to it...Makes you wonder dosent it :-)
