Car wash soap

Duragloss 901 OTC! For me, suds tells me if my water is hard or not. Duragloss 901 didn't suds much so I pretty much have some hard water, but with Poorboy's Super Slick and Suds, it LOVES to make nice suds.
 
I like Megs GC a bit better than DG 901. I think it feels more slimy which to me translates to lubricity. On my black Mustang it seems to leave a bit glossier finish too.
 
DG #901 otc. Better off getting DG #902 (gal. size) from AG.
 
Megs Gold class is nice and cheap. DG 901 is great as OTC, probably the best. ## Citrus Wash is my favorite. One ounce for 5 gallons, you cannot beat that.
 
I have used Mothers and DG 901. I seem to have more problems with water spots with Mothers but it seems to clean fine and does not suds as much as 901 but the suds do seem to last.

No Car Quest, but we have two NAPA stores locally. The folks at the one NAPA store never heard of Duragloss?????????? :D I never thought to ask the folks at the other store if they could order it.

Not to worry though, I plan on getting some with my next order at AG... when the time is right. :D

I do wish that AG would develop a similar wash. A simple wash that is strong if needed. We all have heard nice things about Citrus Wash. Not endorsing it, I just want AG to heed the call and make a competitor!
 
I also could not find duragloss locally, I checked tons of napas none of them had stuff, but one said they could order stuff.

Meguire's gold class is pretty slick for an OTC soap, and suds are OK, NXT suds are better, but its a stronger soap. I used both of these before I bought duragloss 901 here on AGO.
 
if you guys want a soap that strips the wax add an ounce of p21s totol auto wash to you bucket of shampoo.

I really do not use a strong wash to strip wax.......polishing will do that. I just like to amp it up to cut down on the sheer work involved. I also think it's better on the paint to let the chemical do the work instead of mechanical work of scrubbing.

Anyone agree?
 
Ive used the total auto wash in my soap mix to clean a really dirty car, that cobalt I posted up awhile ago...

that stuff is strong and real safe on CC, the car hand no protection on it to strip, but im sure it will strip an LSP.

Anyone find the duragloss soap to be strong? like stripping wax strong? I really wouldnt know because I wax so often, but im just wondering about it. I also now have citrus wash and gloss If I need a strong cleaning soap.

AND I have nxt for a strong soap too, I guess my soaps are mostly strong and not so gentle, but so far ive seen no adverse effects.

tom I think you said you thought the duragloss was a little strong?
 
the soaps you mentioned are strong. also ive heard that about duragloss soap being strong i know its good for sealants but alittle to strong for carnuba wax finishes. and also any soap that has citris in it tells me it will strip any wax. i chose a more gentel soap megs gold class / pinnicle/ optimum. are my favorites.

DG is pretty gental, I've never noticed it to harm lsp unlike NXT. Its all I pretty much use and I know it's gental as there are sometimes spots I can't get off when washing that would come off with NXT. I'm sure putting 1 or 2 caps per gallon it would be strong like any other wash.

Agree for vehicles that are washed on bi-weekly schedule...I don't do it on my own cars, I'd rather presoak with a foam gun twice.
