Is the trade size Autoglym shampoo conditioner the same as the retail bodywork shampoo and conditioner?

Thanks for sharing!

Thx, the trade size is the same as the retail version. The machine behind is a 2k watt portable gen set running off a honda gx engine, a workhorse but unfortunately not enough wattage for my usage sometimes.

The trade version of SRP is Radiant Wax and they recently change a new packaging. SRP not really bodyshop safe as it contains silicon, solvent oil, waxes and may not be ideal for fresh paint. Nevertheless i tried it on a car that has been sprayed and cure only for a day and it seems fine (at least for a mth i din see any bad effect). The next closes polish to SRP is Bodyshop paint renovator which is green in color or #02, bt i rather spend a little more time in buffing and go for m80 instead due to dusting issue.
At the moment ya, and previous mths have been engage in dealers work so use quite alot. But now din do much dealer job already, too tiring and not really workable for me. I am pretty young but my knees and back is showing some unhealthy signal, also considering of stop detailing..

guess that is normal especially when you keep 'buying/trying' too many product (moreover there are in huge volume form)...
I guess your total spent is probally 2-3x of my total

Bro DS, health should come first, sorry to hear of your health condition, hopefully you recover soon and perhaps apply diff technic to do detailing.
I took up detailing becos I don't want to go for jogging, it hurts my heels, knees and so on....
I rather sweat to see the end result of my hard work...
FOR ME, this running/jogging thingy don't see result and add more misery to my body....
BTW I do play games once/twice a week just to make up the numbers...
The pleasure for driving a clean, neat and shinning car after hard work is real pleasure....priceless...
