So, I got in on the free bottle of Mothers Wash & Wax (MWW). This latest order turned out to be a good one, as I got:

1. Free MWW
2. Free shipping
3. Free Sample of Blackfire GEP
4. A Free Ivan
5. 15% off

That's a lot of "Free" for spending a little over a hundred dollars. When I order from other places, I the only "Free" is possibly the shipping. That's why I order from AG, to maximize the money I spend. An item I ordered was "back ordered" and I quickly got a "split ship" email, saying my order wasn't being held up, and they would ship the omitted item when it arrived.

So, this shampoo is pretty thick. They recommend 1oz / gallon. Right away, it reminded me of exactly the cough syrup Tussionex Penkinnetic. That's a drug I dispense at work a lot, its sometimes called "gorilla snot".

This soap was surprisingly pretty good. The one detriment was, I ended up adding about another 1.5 ozs of soap, as it felt pretty thin at 1 oz/ gallon. Lubricity and suds were medium. It smells like pineapple, but you don't smell it when your using it. There were two things it did do really well. One was it rinsed off very easy:

Another was, it seemed to leave no water spots. I always see a few, but this time I saw none. I'm not sure if it was due to the soap, but the sun was out. The car just seemed extra easy to dry, and I dried 99% of it with an AirForce Blaster.

Yeah, I know. That metal tip came awfully close to the paint.

After the wash, the "wash" bucket was still soapy, the rinse bucket is the grey one:

Worked out as a very good wash for maintenance washing. Was pretty light and easy to use. Rinsed away well. I will use this again for sure. After I was done, I went over the vehicle with Eco Touch Quick Wax

A product that gets little mention, but is one of the best.

I took these pictures the next day. The truck is a 2001 and has 105,000 miles.

nice! i have that same GG wash pad and love them! you get two to a pack.
 
Great review swanic!! Wish I got a sample. Forgot to put the comment..
 
Swanic, thanks for the review. I got a free bottle as well and now I know what to expect and to add a bit more than 1oz/gallon.
 
Maybe its just me, but I do that with a lot of soaps. It's like the way the Japanese make tea, add one "for the pot". I usually use rinseless washes at 1.5-2x their recommended dilution. They just seem slicker to me and more substantial.

It comes from one time I was using UWW+ as a rinseless and doubled it by accident. I was like "man this stuff is slick". Then I realized what I did.
 
Beautiful car care. Looks great for any vehicle not to mention it's been out of the factory for 13 years. Nice job!!
