Just ordered a gallon each of Optimum, Duragloss, and Mr. Pink. Will try them all and report back.

Thank you to everyone for the suggestions! :xyxthumbs:

Not sure about Pink's, but CG citrus + Gloss won't remove wax completely as you wish. Although I mix it with Dawn.

I'm on the same boat like you :) but still not find the good one yet. Specially for coating + sealant + wax??!!!!

Hope you report back soon. Do you have foam canon, if so pls report it compared to 2 buckets.

Thanks
 
Mr. Pink a nice lubricant feel and great results
CG Citrus Wash and Gloss great soap to enhance the gloss of your car
 
noted: CG citrus + gloss + dawn cannot remove completely wax..it's HD wax then it's carnauba sealant wax... there's many meaning of wax nowadays then!

Quick question...

Are Optimum and ONR the same thing?

No, Optimum makes 2 separate products

Optimum Car Wash (traditional car shampoo)
Optimum No Rinse (a rinseless solution)

Many people like to add a squirt or two of Optimum No Rinse (ONR) to their normal car shampoo bucket for a couple reasons. First it softens the water and the majority of the population has hard water. Second the polymers in no rinse aid the normal car soap in cleaning dirty away from the surface. ONR also has slickening agents in it and will make the soap more slippery overall, it's a WIN/WIN.

Optimum Car Wash + ONR = WIN
Duragloss 901/902 + ONR = WIN
 
I got out the CG MAXI SUDS last weekend. Good soap. It worked great in the foam gun and bucket. Cleaned and rinsed really well.

That clears it up! Thank you.

Yes are so many acronyms and general autogeek lingo, that I'm lost sometimes! Is there a glossary somewhere? Lol

I already asked that question when I joined, but got no answer. I don't think there's an official acronyms thread.
