meguiars hyper wash vs p&s pearl auto shampoo

Dont know if you are open to other suggestions but Nanoskin Hyper Wash is up there in my opinion, dilution ratio is 800:1 and is super slick.
On those 2 Hyper wash dilution ratio is 400:1 and Pearl is only 128:1
Hyper was is powwrful and slick, is not at the level of reset but definitely one of the top 5 shampoos ever
I like pearl for the foam cannon and also I add .5 ounce of it to my rinseless bucket to add a little power to it. Pear is also cheap and have a nice lemon smell so that is a definite plus
Hope it helps

Do you mean Nanoskin Hyper Suds? Hyper Wash is the Meguiar’s soap OP is asking about.
Out of those options I think Hyper Wash would be the best.
Personally I use CarPro Reset and love it. It can be expensive if you’re a pro and washes a lot of cars. For personal use, it’s great.

I've used both....actually a gallon of both so I've spent some time with them. They are very comparable, to me almost dead even, in what I look for in a soap....that being lubricity, cleaning power, ease of rinsing and value. One advantage that Pearl has it that it is available in smaller sizes, so if you didn't like it, you'd not be stuck with a whole gallon. I do not think you can go wrong with either one. For what its worth, I used Pearl at 3oz per 5 gallons, and HyperWash at 2oz per5 gallons.

The way I look at it is a 1L bottle of Reset is $25 and that yields about 33 washes (1oz per bucket). That’s roughly 76 cents per wash for the soap. If I didn’t wash it myself and took to the car wash, I’d pay $15-$20 per wash. So even if I use way more stuff at home, the 76 cents from the soap is definitely not what is making a home wash expensive.
I never tried Pearl nor do I plan on doing so because pretty much all P&S products I’ve tried so far are not very good. Rags to riches is the only one I might still try but will take some convincing.
Hyper wash is economical and a good performer, just not as good as reset in my opinion. Definitely more economical than reset.

there has been good reviews on brake buster and there glass cleaner which have been good, I agree carpro is the real deal. Considering I can only was during the summer which is 6-7 months a year at 1 wash a week puts me at 30 washes. Is reset that much better of a soap compared to hyper wash?

Out of the 2 soaps which one did you prefer? I know reset is a staple but I can’t afford the gallon when there’s more cost efficient alternatives

I have brake buster and it’s just ok, nothing to rave about. I got a gallon to use but won’t buy more when it’s over.
I find Reset really good, mainly because it seems to have the perfect amount of aggressiveness (to clean well) while at the same time being safe on coatings. It does seem to deteriorate waxes and sealants to a degree so I’d not make Reset my main wash if I didn’t have ceramic coated cars.
Hyper wash is also really good, just because Reset is superior (IMO) it doesn’t make HW bad at all, many like it because it’s so concentrated and economical, also cheap for a gallon. The other good thing about it is that it doesn’t leave protection behind. I prefer soaps like that, without waxes or gloss enhancers.

No it does not. Meguiar's D143 to answer your second question.
Can you get your hands on Feynlab products there? If you can look into their pure wash.

no sorry we don’t have them here yet. I’ve had good results with brake buster but I haven’t tried meguiars either. So I won’t be judgmental. It gets the job done is it slower or faster at it , I have no idea. My car is currently coated with qp-on 2.0 also.

If you have to hold me to one....as I really think it's a toss up.....I'd go with HyperWash....but here's the reason....I rinse my wash mitts out before they go in the laundry....and HyperWash rinses out of them a little easier than Pearl. Do yourself a favor.....next time AutoGeek as a sale, and by that I mean a 25 pct off sale, order the HyperWash and a smaller quantity of Pearl and use both. You can get 32oz of Pearl for 10.99...worth it to make the comparison.

ill check that sale out! on the topic is meguiars d143 non acid wheel cleaner better than brake buster? I can't find any concrete dilution ratios for brake buster so ill base myself on the 2:1 from meguiars and match that up. I have brake buster currently but meguiars is the same price and if its a better product id be happy to make the switch.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask about Brake Buster. I just gave almost a gallon of it away. For some reason, I could not get the dilution rate right. At lower concentrations (5:1), I found it to be ineffective against heavy brake dust.....at higher concentrations it seemed to leave a residue. People seem to like using it with IK foamers.....I never did...maybe that was my mistake.
It is rare for me to need a dedicated wheel cleaner, but if I do, I use Sonax...otherwise, I'm using Optimum Power Clean at 3:1 or 5:1. All of my family's vehicles, that I maintain , have coated wheels, so I do not need more than soap and water to clean them. To me, that's the best process....get them clean and coat them. I boost the coating with a spray down of Ethos Defy periodically after a maintenance wash.

Then get what you have access to. I have only used hyper wash and it is good. As someone mentioned pearl comes in smaller bottles so if you don't like it then you can try something else once you use it up.
My advice would be to ceramic coat your wheels and you won't need to use a wheel cleaner that often. I rarely use a wheel cleaner. I use soap and water to clean my ceramic wheels with the occasional chemical decon (in remover).
