What soap do you like more. Megs D110 or 3D Pink car soap? Or???

I read great things about both
 
If you're looking to use a foam gun, I'd go with 3D Pink. I've seen it in use and the foam is simply amazing. So thick it'll bury a grown man in seconds.
 
Nope no gun, just regular 2 bucket method.

Some people have suggested D110 Hyper Wash, [400:1 dilution ratio] but I use 3 gallon buckets for washing.. And the thought of measuring out .5 [half ounce] of car soap sounds more like an inconvenience than anything. Hyper Wash's dilution ratio is geared toward actual car washes, which use professional metering systems.

What soap are you currently using?
 
Currently I am using Megs wash n wax and gold class. I am almost out of both though.
 
I use hyper wash in buckets. Does anyone measure that out?
I feel most people eyeball it.
I was a bartender and we had to free pour 1 1.25 1.5 ounce etc and got tested on it so..

One pump of the dispenser I have on the gallon bottle straight into the bucket. Makes it really easy. :xyxthumbs:
 
I haven't used 3D Pink Soap. But I do use Hyper wash. It works fine in a bucket and in a foam gun/foam cannon. You don't need to strictly use it a foam gun/cannon.

I also like Optimum Car Wash. That has a 1/2 oz per gallon dilution. It's a tad thicker than hyper wash

It's not sold here but Adams car shampoo is nice. It's thicker than either of these.

Lol sorry but I have to completely disagree. This is a bogus statement in my opinion.

Yup, that'll work.
I have pumps for my gallons, but I tend to use them less nowadays simply because in order to return to my cabinet I have to re close them, which results in a bit of wasted product during that last pump & turn.. But that's just my own personal issue.

Thx to a tip from someone on this forum, I've begun to use these self cleaning spouts for some of my gallons. And best of all it easily fits in my cabinet. The only negative is they pour Really slow... It took almost 3min. to fill up this 12oz bottle from empty just now.

When I 1st set out to buy in bulk, I called Megs Hotline and asked about Hyper Wash because it almost seemed too good to be true with its dilution ratio & price per gallon. I was wondering why I hadn't heard more mention of this perticular car wash. The Megs rep informed me it was because Hyper Wash is marketed towards professional car wash businesses that use metering systems.

That same info about D110 Hyper Wash can be found on numerous websites across the internet.

I been meaning to try Adam's car wash a ton of people love this stuff, and optimum car wash, people love that stuff too. Nice bottle Eldorado 2k I like the lines for every 2oz
 
I use megs gold class. It works great using buckets and I put it in the soap dispenser in my pressure washer and foams up good.
 
Meg`s Hyperwash for 2BW and Foam Cannon.

As for measuring I use a repurposed Gojo pump. 2 pumps 1/4 of an ounce so I can easily meter out what ever amount needed.

Just got a bottle of this after reading some good reviews on here, and I love it. Deff my favorite soap so far. Smells great, excellent suds and works great on my wife's coated expedition.
 
Currently using Meguiars Gold Class in a 2B wash....have had good results with it......tried Chemical guys Mr Pink.....decent stuff....not any better than the Gold Class
 
another soap to consider that i feel is very very underrated is chemical guys body wash and wax.

It is fantastic stuff....works great thru foam cannon and just a simple 2 bucket wash

Its really thick, has a little wax in the soap, lots of suds and it smells amazing


Out of all the soaps that ive tried, this one is by far my favorite...even over CG glossworks

I do want to try meguires professional wash and wax...(not hyperwash) but for the price of CG body wash and wax in a gallon size....its the best soap i used to date
 
Meguiars Gold Class is good, but I feel there is better out there.

For a non-wax infused shampoo I really like Poorboys Super Slick with Suds. I found it lubricates the surface better and cleans better too.

For a wax infused soap I really like DP Power Wash (now McKees 37 Power Wash) or Blackfire Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo. I feel both clean and lubricate better than Gold Class, while leaving a wax or sealant residue behind that adds a nice improvement in appearance. It's purely cosmetic, but nice none the less.
