Cons:
Suds longevity in bucket
Dried out my skin
1Z Raindance Wash & Wax Perls Shampoo is a liquid consistency, unscented shampoo. It seems strong. It reminded me of Chemical Guys Clean Slate. I had a warm, cloudy, winter day and a very dirty 2016 Camaro RS. Two bucket wash process, with a pre-rinse with pressure washer, complete foaming with foam cannon, 5 minute dwell time, complete rinse of dwelling foam and hand wash with microfiber mitt and 1Z Raindance Wash & Wax Perls Shampoo, 2 ounces to 2.5 gallons of water.
Foam
Gas pressure washer with foam cannon created shaving cream thick foam. Much more foam than I expected from such a thin consistency shampoo.
Foam Dwell
After a 5 minute foam dwell, this is the amount of foam still clinging to the car. I think this is the best dwell cling that I have seen.
Suds
2 oz of soap per 2.5 gallons of water according to instructions.
Leftover Suds
After washing began, the suds left in the bucket were not as good as I hoped. I had to agitate the water to create more suds after I had used about 50% of the bucket.
Rinse Water
I think that the rinse water is a good indication of the power of the surfactant in the soap. The dirt releases well from the mitt in the rinse bucket if the surfactant is good. The very dirty rinse water is an indication of the quality surfactant in Raindance.
Beading/Sheeting
I noticed that when rinsing, water seemed to "sheet" off rather than bead.

My hands were pretty dried out after washing the car. I would recommend gloves.
The real question is, how does the car look?

I think the car looks great using 1Z Raindance Wash & Wax. I used no drying agent or quick wax. Car was blown dry. I used half of the 8 oz bottle so there are much cheaper
shampoos. But for a great shine without any extra work, this will work well..
