Current Favorite Soap/Shampoo

I think the whole Renny Doyle lineup flies under the radar.

The foam, lubricity and cleaning ability were fantastic! Sorry to see AG no longer stocks the gallon size.
 
Have used this one myself. To me, it's a good soap that, for the most part, flies under the radar. It's tough to beat at that price point....when most soaps are at close to double that price per gallon. In my experience, their dilution ratio (1 oz per gallon) is even a little high. I used 2oz for 3 - 3.5 gallons and had more than enough suds and lubricity to wash my Tundra.

I liked using it for the most part. I did notice for my situation (direct sunlight washing) it tends to spot when it's hot and dries on the paint. It mixes easily for foam canon use. After determining I should get it off the paint quickly, I switched to using it in colder weather or pre-wash foaming in the summer months until I used it up.
 
After i finish my CG Honeydew, i went back to one of my all time favs. HYPERWASH. With a dilution of 1oz to 5gal it`s just is hard to beat. Picked up a gallon during the current sales.

According to Meguiars...the dilution rate is 400:1....which works out to 1oz for 3.125 gallons
 
For sure. When you read the label on the bottle, it states to use 1oz to 5gal of water or 1 pump. So a bit of a difference. But i do recall from using it in the past, 1oz did work really well for me in the foam gun and bucket. I use the pump on my gallon containers. 1 pump is one ounce.
 
Yeah, even their own label conflicts with itself. 1oz/5 gal is 640:1. Although most wouldn't actually put 5 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket. Last bucket wash, I put the hyper wash in first then sprayed in the water and the foam got to the top of the bucket when I probably had less than 2 gallons of water.

That's an incredible ratio if it has good lubricity. This company, with its recent famous addition, hasn't made much of a splash in the detailing world recently. I mean we all know about 3D Kleen & Speed, but these days you've gotta "get yourself out there", it's tough out here for these companies but WE benefit

I agree. I want to try speed sometime. I also like 3d's bead it up, and their waterless wash, 3d pink and i have towel kleen but haven't tried it yet

Im looking into their nano super pre soak. If im reading them correctly, it would be comparable to a carpro lift? Cheaper too. 3d super presoak says for a foam cannon dilute 1/4 teaspoon per 32oz of water

I just went to the auto geek online store and checked out 3-D and did not realize they had so many products

Towel Kleen is a forum favorite you can't go wrong with! This product should be in your collection because it is priced right and just flat out cleans!

I used 3D Speed this past summer on my buddy's Rx-7 and while we didn't think it could look better, it did after a 4 section pass on orange Griot's Garage 5" pad! Picks show after topping it w/ 75th Anniversary graphene and ceramic TWHS wax. The 3 speed brought out the color enough where we just couldn't believe it! I work on this car every other year and it just goes to show you how much the right combo CAN do on an already great finish!

Hell yeah! Looks good. I remember seeing your post on that car.

A got some gift card money to spend and my head is spinning lol

I really want to try 3d proxy on non coated vechiles , which i know is in speed so should yield similar outcome.

But im thinkin i may pull the trigger on that 3d super pre soak. Just not certain if it would degrade a coating

Currently have some Super Soap on the shelf. Good soap, foams well out of the cannon, good lubricity for the bucket wash. It looks kind of brown in the bottle, but comes out pink in the bucket, rinses cleanly. If you like soaps that smell good, this one is not for you. It smells like soap.....the kind of soap you might find in a Motel 6. 3D super soap, in 64oz bottle, comes in at 47.99. If you use 1/2 oz to 5 gallons ratio as 1 wash......you'd get 128 washes for 47.99.....or 0.37/wash. Hyperwash, on the other hand, advertises 1:400 ratio, which is roughly 1.6oz to 5 gallons.....so you'd get 80 washes (gallon bottle) for 30.48....or approximately 0.38/wash. I've found the two to be pretty equal as far as foaming, cleaning power, lubricity and rinseability......but Hyperwash smells better.

If you want to try some Super Soap.....shoot me a PM with ur address and I'll send you some

A quality coating isn't going to be affected by a soap

Sure there just being overly cautious but Griots doesn’t recommend using surface prep on Coatings (not me… actual coating) due to degradation.

With them not having a coating I doubt they have long term tested….

Lot of back and forth on Bilt Hamber AF degrading or removing waxes or sealant or shortening up life of coating.

I personally didn’t see any affects on CQuK3 that I used BHAF and Mckee’s CPS. It was one for 19 months before car wrecked and i was hitting with the BHAF once a month and the the coating prep soap 2-3 times for decon washes for the last 8-10 months I had it.

I think because I use topper those were taking the brunt of the hot from Alki soaps leaving a fresh coating. ….. acting as like Kamikaze puts it “a sacrificial layer”

This was my thought as well. I also thought that coatings were chemically "resistant". So, i would think that if a coating was not topped and it was constantly subjected to chemically being stripped(washed), i would see some sort of degrading of said coating.
