Looking for a carwash soap that DOESN'T have wax in it, sell me on YOUR favorite!

just buy a gallon of hyper wash. you only need like one ounce to 3-4 gallons of water and you definitely get your money's worth. it's like the johnson's baby shampoo of car care. gentle, washes and rinses clean, and a little goes a long way...
 
As far as 3D Pink: It's a good soap that gives you the feeling of great cleaning potential and it's packs plenty of suds. However it does diminish beading at an alarming rate, not sure whether it's due to it not rinsing as clean as they'd like you to believe or it's just too concentrated for its own good... Either ways, there's better choices if maintaining your lsp's characteristics are a priority.

Meguiars Hyper Wash gets alot of raves but I've read at least 1 very convincing post talking about how prolonged use ended up leaving a certain film which in turn diminished beading... That same film was cleaned off and the true clean surface was brought back by switching to Carpro Reset. I forget the details, and I wish I could find the post, but it made all the sense in the world.

You get what you pay for most times... Latest and greatest applies to this soap. It's a cut above. Is your car worth it?

Btw, I'm not sure if your new power tool is meant for foam cannon use? I wouldn't even bother doing that, mainly due to making this soap seem a bit expensive [from what I've heard] Just sayin... But for normL bucket wash = 1.5oz. per bucket = plenty of suds to wash 2-3 vehicles.
 
I've used just about every soap imaginable. Optimum is my all around favorite. Cleans great, good lubricity, smells great, economical and often forgotten, rinses away easily!
 
Adams wash soap is pretty decent. Suds up really nice. Has really good lubricant. Smells good. It's what I use on my newish MK7 Golf R. I also use optimum ONR or optimum rinse less spray between traditional washes.

You've been on this forum over 5 years (actively) with 12,000+ posts and you're asking if Megs Hyper Wash is a OTC product. Then you try to call it Optimum hyper wash. What's going on? Did you hit you head lately or are you just messing with us?

Because I've been using RW and WW's since I've gotten here I don't even pay attention to regular car wash soaps, so I'm a noob to it. Went on EBay and thought I saw hyper something or another related to Optimum, I'm going to check my saved searches.

3D PINK CAR SOAP.

Megs HYPER WASH.

Like them both. HW gets my vote. Better dilution ratio.
 
The two I've used most recently with success and enjoyed are Poorboy's Super Slick with Suds and Sonax Car Wash Shampoo Concentrate. The only odd thing with the Sonax is the version I have does not seem to gloss and the bottle/name matches what is on the Sonax USA website. The product here at AG seems to be a version with glossing agents. Not sure if their stock is an older version or a product unique to AG.

Both shampoo's are reasonably priced, provide great lubrication while washing, and have a really good cleaning ability.
 
Hmmmm, Am I seeing things?

Did I just read that Klasse Act is going to be doing traditional washes?

If you car is coated I would certainly give McKee's 37 New Sio2 Auto Wash a shot!

The soap is designed to maintain Coated vehicles.

Here is a article on the first few times I used it.

https://www.autogeekonline.net/foru...e-s-37-sio2-auto-wash-create-candy-gloss.html

After every wash, I do see a increase in clarity and slickness. I would certainly consider it.
 
Duragloss 901/902, 3D Pink, Optimum, McKee's... I'm sure all the others recommended are also very good. I doubt it matters very much which one you use. We're all spoiled by a plethora of good products.

Maybe buy a small amount of a few and see what you like best?

IME it completely kills Carpro Reload in 1-2 washes.. Sealants that have no business loosing their initial beading see a considerable drop after 4, sometimes even 3 bucket washes.

I can't imagine it's my water. And I don't use more than the recommended dilution.. I dunno but it's behavior's consistent, it doesn't seem to rinse as clean as they toted back in 2008.

Nowadays I use it when I have to wash a real filthy vehicle. Suds are great & cleans good.
 
Another vote for Megs Hyperwash, I mainly do bucket washes, this pretty much all I have used for two years. Like you KA, my car is coated with Wolfgang too.
 
Right now it looks like the leader in the clubhouse is going to be the Meguiars hyper wash, but I made pick up some griots locally so I have something to tie me over for a little bit.

Thanks for the video Guz!

After watching it earlier and needing something to "tie me over" till I place my next order, I was Autozone and they had the Brillant Finish from Griot's so I bought it. I will be doing a wash this Friday and will try this out in my optional soap dispenser for the Worx powershot. Looking forward to getting back into the world of washing the car with soap again (but not going away from RW and WW either) Its just that when you get a new toy you wanna use it!!
 
Meguiars Gold Class has been a favorite of mine for many years. It's soapy, it's slippery, it's PH neutral and it is commercially available.
