What do you use to wash your own car?

I still have 1.5 gallons of PB SS&S and will probably buy more when needed. I actually like WG Autobathe a little more but the cost keeps me from using it as much. I am still debating purchasing a gallon of the WG at the current discount but I have a lot of soap. To me the WG is slightly slipperyer (I know that isn't a real word). It feels like I am rubbing a fish belly when I wash with WG. I don't recall a fishy smell though.
I have only used a sample of the Pinnacle wash. Maybe it was an older formulation, but it was not as slick or as sudsy as the above mentioned soaps. Maybe I should try it again.

Pinnacle is very slippery, it uses coconut oil for lubrication. An awesome product, one of the best! I personally found it better then Zymol Clear. Pinnacle is too expensive for a foam gun, but is a great shampoo for the bucket.

I use a 99c Wal*Mart sponge and Megs Gold Class. Works great!!!
 
I am using the rest of my Megs Gold Class for Wheels and I am now using Duragloss Wash. Love it and man does that s*$t foam.
 
I found NXT on a close out for $3 each. :righton:
I bought the last two.

Tell me about it, even in a bucket, but with a foam gun it's nutz. Slick as hell too and smells nice, like a ton of cherries lol. Love Poorboy's SSS but I'm using DG was more now. Those two are tops IMO. I grabbed it OTC before AG carried it, put's NXT and the other OTC washes to shame.
 
Sheepskin and Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo. Have tried the Wolfgang, but it
doesn't have the suds Pinnacle does.

The Pinnacle Shampoo just glides over your car ....;)
 
On my silver Titan I use cotton chenille mit, either Meg's or Kmart brand, whichever I grab first, and that cheap Turtle Wax carwash from Walmart. Last wash I used chenille mit with my new foam gun with the free sample of DP foam gun soap. That was a lot of work!

On the supra I use a shampoo I bought from another site and it rhymes with "Bonus" :). But last night I used ONR and it was amazing!
 
I use NXT most of the time. I have some Gold Class that I like and use sometimes for a change. I have Z7 too, but almost never use it b/c NXT and GC is 99.9% as good for much cheaper.

I just ordered a foam gun, so this might change to something like DP or PB, we'll see.
 
Thanks folks! Considering the number of options available there seems to be a relative consensus of top picks. Meguiars Gold or NXT for OTC and Duragloss, Poorboys or Pinnacle from online.

I think (more technical difficulties) I just ordered the Duragloss (I love cherries) to try, along with another Souveran, and a MaxWax, and some DP clay. I'll try the Poorboys later, I have a sample of the Pinnacle

To many deals, not enough cars
 
NXT wash and ShMiTT, slipp, slipp, slippery slipp......
