On the hunt for a new car wash soap.

Yea I'll probably stick to my 5 gallon bucket as well since the 3.5 ones are too small to fit the water + the 7-8 mitts I stuff in there. Lol

LOL. I was on USP and was looking for spray bottles and noticed they had 7 gals. Granted, sometimes if I'm doing the suv, between the CG Cyclone and the GG, most times I get by but there are times where I am topping off the bucket with more water.
 
I used it yesterday for the 1st time..

1st impressions are great. Suds up real good with just 1oz., smells good, loads up exceptionally in the wash mitt, rinsed clean, I left my mitts in the bucket and sealed the gamma lid just in case I want to wash the Kia today.

Would you consider Gyeon Bathe+?? It's have great water beading (because have SiO2), also great dilution ratio. About 10-15 ml per 12 Liter

Cannot recommend this stuff highly enough.

Great foaming and smelling.

Plus ph neutral so very friendly on sealants and waxes
 
The other day I reused my bucket of Carpro Reset which I had sealed with my mitts a couple days prior.

It suds up and worked just fine. Does anyone else do this? Are there some soaps that are incapable of reusing like this?

This is definitely a "101" level topic. :) I've done some reading on the subject and still have questions.

With some of the discussion recently around D114 preserving LSP behavior, I've become interested in a regular wash for my 2 bucket method that leaves nothing behind and lets my LSP dictate surface behavior (be it looks, slickness, water beading or what have you).

I used Meguiars Gold Class for many many years, then tried Optimum Car Wash a few years ago. I loved the smell and the slippery feel but found I had to use a lot of product (I have hard water here) and it didn't seem to clean tough stuff as well as Gold Class. More recently I tried DG901 and fell in love with it, but it doesn't fit in with my quest to "leave nothing behind."

It's a little challenging getting to the bottom of whether or not some soaps leave anything behind, but I have a list of some products sold here at AG that I *believe* may fit the bill:


  • Ultima Paint Guard
  • CarPro Reset
  • McKee's Xtreme Foam
  • Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo
  • Griot's Brilliant Finish Car Wash
  • 3D Pink
  • Meguiars Hyper Wash

What's your experience? Any recommendations for me? My most important criteria are:

- Good cleaning power
- High lubricity
- Will not negatively affect LSP longevity even at higher dilution ratios
- Low cost per wash and a pleasant scent are big bonuses.

I have a sample of Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo to try for my next wash, thanks to the free sample program here at AG. :props:
