OP wont have access to SQ lounge since it is in the non-schengen part of the airport. Flying on to MUC means only schengen area, so the 2 contract lounges are it. No showers. I'm not sure if AMS has pay showers (probably).

Why couldn't he go to the SQ lounge first, have his shower, and then go through immigration into the Schengen zone?
cheers,

I can check out the SQ and then the other 1 or 2 contract ones, just to see how they are.
Thanks.
