Just looking for a good soap. Im about to finish up Meguiars Hyper wash but wondering if there is anything new out there worth trying?
 
Adam's graphene carwash soap is amazing...plus it's available OTC in a pinch. Even though it has graphene in the name it's a strong soap, like Reset.

Are you using this soap as a pre-wash-touchless and/or 2BM

Hey not looking for protection in the soap, just a cleaner soap.... 2BM.

It has no protection despite the name. Watched a review, forgot who's, but it said this soap was comparable to CarPro Reset.

Then why did they call it Graphene? Maybe to signify its to be used with the graphene system for prep etc? Is using a soap thats as strong as reset every week okay? Seems like it would take a toll on the protection on the car. I dont use ceramics, so I need a soap thats gentle.

I believe you, guess the YouTube video I watched missed that one

I've used it, alot, and it does clean VERY well

I'd check out Bilt-Hamber AutoWash also, it's VERY concentrated and is a pure wash

Could be used as a system as they've got many graphene products

Griot's Garage regular carwash soap is pretty good

Thanks all I don’t want to snow foam as it takes up too much time to get the pressure washer out etc
 
Armour Detail Supply Shampoo+

DIY Incredible Suds

Both clean well but are also going to be gentle enough with non-ceramic protection. I think they're the same price as well.

A foam gun is what I use as I don't have a power washer, although I do have my battery powered IK Foam Pro 12 and my Griot's Garage foam gun is great for the pre-wash and it simply works with the garden hose

DIY Incredible Suds is well...INCREDIBLE ️You add 1 oz to your bucket wash or foam gun and it Suds up, plus it smells great

I have used ADS Shampoo for pre-wash and it works great as well, not in a 2BM but I need to soon to get things aligned for next springs purchases

At the top end, Carpro Reset. I keep trying to find something better, but nothing lines up all the ducks like Reset does. Can be used as a bucket wash or in a foam cannon.

I'm a huge fan of the Adam's soaps, the blue version is a great allrounder and superbly priced for you guys in the US. Mega Foam is brilliant too, it works great in a bucket despite the implications of the name.

DIY Incredable Suds is really, really good too. And as a wildcard, I also love Shine Supply Shift.

Any of the above will work in a bucket or foam cannon, have high lubrication and smell great.

Thread 'DFB's Soapy Notes'

Like most I would assume, I started washing cars in my early teens with a bucket of water, a sponge and some dish washing liquid from the kitchen. Looking back, I can't help but cringe, but we all start somewhere. Once my parents figured out washing cars was something I was into, they let me add a bottle of blue Armor All Streak Free Car Wash into the supermarket cart. Oh how I have progressed.

The following is 23-years' worth of trial and error using car wash soaps. With so many soaps to choose from on the market, it can be hard to sort the pretenders from the genuine...

I've been curious about this shampoo. I'll have to try it. It's supposed to clean really well.
