I'm interested in giving my car a complete shampoo. Has anyone done this, and can you reccomend a good product?

You talking carpets or exterior cleaning?

 

I couldnt figure that out either so i spent probably the same amount in time helping as he spent himself....... which is not much.

 

How about shampoo for the carpets and the seats?

 

I was talking strictly about the exterior.

 

Shampoo = wash job? I'm lost...

 

I'd like to shampoo my carpets as well......

 

Exterior, any quality name brand OTC will suffice. The main differences are how well they rinse, and do they offer any protection in the offering. The latter not really being relevant, but worth mentioning.
As for interior, consider an extractor for a job well done, on interiors that have been avoided or neglected. Maintenance afterwards is as easy as damp cleaning/wiping and frequent vacuuming.

 

Patrick, what is an extractor?

 

I bet if I had said steam cleaner you wouldnt had asked huh!

 

indeed! I don't have a steam cleaner though
