Well I was mucking around in my temporary laboratory last night (we're still setting up) and decided to modify my Showcar suds protective shampoo and conditioner.
Before I mixed it all together, I decided to find out if any quick detail sprays and aquawax like products could be added to a shampoo and if it would kill the sudsing/lather factor as does happen when you add any paint sealant, cleaner wax (AIO etc) product
Well it turns out that aquawax, FC&S, Prima Slick and Einszett lackfinish raindance QD whether diluted or pure, actually boost the lather and suds and tinted the wash solution to the colour of the car wash
My first mix was 50ml driven to perfection protective wash and FC&S
Driven wash looks brown in the bottle but turns pinkish red when poured out and those two together made a lovely red fanta mixture.
So I thought hmm, lets mix up 700ml of car wash.
Well the results are suds that not only are volcanic like in the bucket but are like putting too much bubble bath in a bathtub. they defy gravity and cling for dear life and don't quit. even when you take all the water out, there are still thick groups of sud blobs stuck to the sides of the bucket and when using (tested on my hilux), the solution really is incredibly lubricating, glides along the surface and enhances sheeting a little. very free rinsing
I have no idea if adding the QD's and aquawax is providing any protection or not (most likely not due to the water drowning them) but they sure are boosting the lathering.
