Meguiars Mirror Bright Automobile Shampoo Review

**Pats300zx** · 03-22-2016, 07:21 PM

Well this review is long overdue as I purchased Meguiars Mirror Bright Shampoo over the winter. With the temps hitting the 60's here today I thought it was time to break out the buckets and do my first bucket wash in about 4 months. All winter I have been doing rinseless washes and it was time to give my Dodge Ram a proper cleaning. I know that this product has been out for a while and many reviews have already been done on the Mirror Bright Line but I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Product
Meguiars Mirror Bright Wash Shampoo

Description

Meguiars Mirror Bright Automobile Shampoo is a throwback to some of the first Meguiars products in their line. Simply put, it’s a great car wash reminiscent of the first time you washed a car. With a specialized carnauba milk formula, the Meguiars Mirror Bright Automobile Shampoo leaves your paint clean and with a slick, just waxed feel.

Cost: $9.99 for 48 ounces

The directions state to use one "glug" per gallon of water. Since I could not find the official measurement for the "glug" I went ahead and placed 3 ounces in my 5 gallon wash bucket.

Nice SUDS !!!!!!!!

Thoughts

1-Scent: The soap had a nice fruity scent to it and was a pleasure to use.
2-Suds: Tons that lasted through the entire wash
3-Slickness-Great...very slick and my wash mitt just glided over the surface
4-Cleaning ability-Outstanding.
5-Overall I found Meguiars Mirror Bright Automobile Shampoo to be a fantastic soap. I feel it is steps above Meguairs Gold Class and Deep Crystal Wash. I would not hesitate to pick this up locally if it was offered in Autozone, Walmart, etc. It's slicker and offers more suds than the other two Meguiars soaps. Although a tad more in price it is definitely worth the extra pennies per wash.

Thanx for the review!

From Mike Stoops (MOL), a "glug" equals an ounce. So, a 128/1 ratio.

Wow, that's pretty impressive considering Pat's remarks about suds, lubricity, and cleaning ability when he was diluting it ~200:1 (I'm presuming the bucket wasn't quite full with water).

Does seem silly that they don't define "glug" somewhere on the bottle.

Sounds like a great wash that I'll consider trying when I use up all the other soaps I've collected; somewhere in the 2030 timeframe.

Funny a company as large as Meguiars actually put the word glug on a label of a product. Considering some smart people on this forum did not know what a glug was...

I guess someone in their marketing or product labeling department has a sense of humor.

Nice review!

Well, clearly it's a nod to that most people don't measure their soap but simply eyeball it. Which of course is the same reason that some soaps call out the dilution by "capfuls". I'm just surprised that they don't clarify it somewhere on the label, but I guess that just proves that us "scientists" are a miniscule percentage of the customers of a retail product.

Guilty as charged! But I still dont know what a glug is!

I go by a roughly 3" diameter circle or plop of product on the bottom of my bucket. That usually seems to work!

The "glug" comment made me chuckle.
