What is your current favorite(s) car wash soap/shampoo for regular car washing?

Currently I’m using Reset for my coated cars and am happy with it.

Interested in your favorites or recommendations for my Wolfgang WDGPS 3.0 protected G35. I’m using Ultimate Paint Guard Wash now and looking around for others to try on this great sealant.

Thanks.

is by far my favorite for snow foam washes. Its ph neutral and the results are amazing! It comes from UK so its not cheap to get

Have Carpro Reset as a favorite car soap. If you have noticed any degrading when useing Reset on the WDGPS. You can dilute it down even more. I have tested it at 1:800 and still thought it was good lubrication and cleaning ability from it. If you want any stronger cleaning ability Gtechnic G-Wash says to have this.

I also have Ultima Paint Guard Wash LOL. It's a great soap for the sealant and waxed vehicals. The rest of the car soaps I have is not offered on AGO. One is a ceramic infused car soap which is great lubrication and cleaning ability and also gives you a little protection around 4 weeks. The looks from this is what stands out for me as it's like a wax and coating look from it.

One that I have very great things about is the Poorboy's World Super Slick & Suds Concentrated Car Wash. Hard to get where I live otherwise I would test it out. Another one in the category that leaves gloss behind and says to leave a lot of it is Chemical Guys Glossworkz Hi-Foam Gloss Booster & pH Neutral Auto Wash. That I would also try out on a sealant protected vehical.

No question - Adams Car Shampoo. All the others don't really compare in my experience.
 
My favorites are Poorboys Super Slick with Suds and Optimum Car Wash.

Optimum is what I'm currently using and I'm working my way through my second gallon jug. In the past I never bought shampoo in a gallon quantity, so that should be an indication of how well I like it. However, that isn't a knock against the Poorboys. It's a excellent product as well.
 
HD Pink Soap is quite good. Great lubricity and excellent via foam gun. Comes in a gallon.
 
Currently using Adam's (about done with it) and then it's onto Hyper Wash.
 
came in here prepared to type head and shoulders and irish spring, but was disappointed...
 
3D pink, and once I finish this gallon will be going to 3D super soap which is just the hyper concentrated version of pink. Hyperwash is good as well.
 
I alternate between these for my coated cars

Adams
Shine Supply Shift
Reset
McKee's SiO2

I use CarPro Reset. I have considered trying Hyperwash just because it's cheaper but since I only wash 2 cars I don't think using Reset is that expensive. Especially considering taking it to a tunnel car wash would cost $15-$20 per wash, Reset ends up not being too expensive at all. It just needs 1oz per wash.
I have used McKee's 37 SiO2 Auto Wash before. It smells nicer than Reset but for some reason I think Reset is easier to rinse. I actually still have a good amount of this soap around, maybe I should use it up before buying more Reset.
 
So far, I've used Griots Brilliant Shine, Surface Wash, Chemical Guys Mr Pink, Honeydew Snow Foam, Citrus Wash and Gloss, McKees Extreme Foam, Meguiars Gold Class and Jay Lenos Car Wash. I like Griots Surface Wash the best out of the foam cannon, but Jay Lenos Car Wash for a bucket wash.
 
I've tried quite a few more exotic soaps but keep going back to Gold Class. It just seems to work really well with my water. NXT was my favorite before it was discontinued.
 
I find it interesting some like Gold Class. They must’ve improved the formula since I used it. It couldn’t even remove mild dirt the last time I used it.

It hasn't changed since I started using it in the early 2000s as far as I can tell.
