This is still a "What's your favorite shampoo" thread, but what makes it different is i'm not concerned with price lol, and the threads I have found are a few years old. I have tried Pinnacle and Wolfgang both of which I like. I tried the Black Fire, but it seemed to lack lubricity compared to Wolfgang and Pinnacle. I've heard a few people mention Duragloss 901 which i'm thinking about purchasing soon, but I didn't know if the biggest reason people like it is because of price. I do not want Meguiar's or anything I can purchase at Autozone.

Regardless of price, what is your favorite shampoo? What makes you so fond of it? Lubricity, cleaning ability, shine?

Thanks!
 
You'll be surprised how well DG901 works. I love the smell, lubricity, cleaning ability and the price of course. My other favorite is Blackfire Wet Diamond Condition Shampoo. Easiest shampoo to rinse and makes the surface super slick after drying!
 
What was your dilution ratio of the Blackfire? I usually use about 1 oz to 2-3 gallons of Pinnacle and Wolfgang. I did the same with Blackfire, but it just seemed to lack in lubricity.

I will more than likely try the DG901 since i've heard quite a bit about it.
 
Another vote for 901. Zaino Z7 and DP Auto Bath Shampoo have worked well also.

I actually used a little less than an ounce. It worked for me. Try experimenting with products and you'll be surprised how some work!
 
Duragloss Car Wash Concentrate and Optimum Car Wash are tied for me. DG 901 is very slick, cleans great, and leaves a little gloss behind. What I like the most about it is I can wash the entire vehicle before rinsing without fear of water spots. With Optimum, it is very slick as well, cleans just as good, and the suds do not die! I literally have to scrape the suds out of my rinse bucket about half way through the wash. A 3rd favorite for me is Chemical Guys Extreme Body Wash & Wax. Another soap that I really like is not sold here so I won't say it's name, but it is named after a guy and his polishes. It looks a lot like Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds. ;)
 
I swear by ocw. That stuff is amazing.

It doesn't remove wax or sealants, it's very concentrated, suds and lubricates for the wash. It's also very cost efficient. I'd suggesting for a try.

Yes it is. 901 is the 16oz., 902 is the gallon, and 903 is the 64oz.

That's exactly it. DG has some strange labeling: it's the same with AW - 951 for the 22 oz. and 952 for the 128 oz. (and also for Nu-Glass, Absorb-It, etc - different sizes have different codes).
 
CG Citrus Wash and Gloss is the best I've tried. I believe it has D-Limonene in it which is from citrus fruits. Suds up really well and very very concentrated. The rinse water becomes as sudsy as the wash water. A lot of people say suds don't matter. But they hang on the face of the mit (there soap of course) and add to lubrication. No suds, your stuck only with the solution the mit holds. Also, it can be used stronger to make a cleaner similar to P21S Total Auto Wash, as that's a D-Limonene based cleaner. It can be used to strip wax. 1 ounce for 5 gallons is almost too much.

HoneyDew Snow Foam is excellent in foam cannons. 2.5 ounces is all you need to make 32 ounces of foaming solution. I've tried it at that concentration with other shampoos and the mixture is watery. I've never tried it, but I suspect it also makes a great bucket shampoo. I've yet to try Optimum Shampoo, but CG are the best I've tried by far.
 
I like CG wash and gloss it goes a long way it cleans well and I like the smell :xyxthumbs:
 
All of the DoDo washes are superb and highly concentrated! 250 ml of Supernatural makes as many gallons of wash as a gallon of DG! DG is 1 oz per gallon. As I recall SN yields 1800 parts wash to one part concentrate!
 
I have several I really like. I just picked up a gallon of OCW so I'll know Saturday how much I like it my favorites are below in no particular order

Ultima Paint Guard Wash
Poorboys Slick Suds
DG901
Blackfire (It took a few uses for me to like it but I use it pretty often now)
 
This thread left me jonesing for more. Just ordered a gallon of Maxi Suds II
