What is the best Car Wash Soap that you have used?

I really like Adams car was. I can wash the ENTIRE car, the soap can dry on the car and when I'm completely done, it rinses perfectly
 
... I always seem to come back to Adam's Car Shampoo.
 
Just want to ask as a new car owner. What about Waterless Car Spray? Is it good or bad? Water wash needs lots of time and effort. But for the spray just clean with the cloth. Isn't easy? And also need feedback about the Meguiar’s car wash shampoo (If waterless spray not effective).
 
I have griots waterless wash and basically never use it. I used it once in the winter and didn't like it too much. Wasted good money on it. Plus I don't like how many micro fibers I have to soil to use it. All other griots stuff I have tried are pretty good.

My favorite soaps are from Chemical guys. Right now I am using a lot of the honey dew. It works really well w my foam gun and creates a lot of bubbles/suds.
 
I've finished reading this thread but I no one mentioned CarPro Reset... Is it really not worth mentioning? I mean, it's the only best car wash soap that I've ever used and the best that's available from where I am. It doesn't foam that much but the lubricity is just awesome.
 
1) Meg's D110
2) CarPro Reset
3) Chemical Guys Citrus Wash(regular not w/ gloss)

I think there are a few of these threads on here with similar titles. Reason I say that is becasue I know I mentioned Reset on one.

This is your first post to the forum, so welcome to AutogeekOnline! :welcome:


It's perfectly fine to ask a question to a thread started back in 2013, but sometimes when you have a question and especially if you're brand new to car detailing with a brand new car it might be better to start a fresh thread that's you're very own. Just something to think about.


As to your questions...

Waterless Car Wash products are great as long as the car you're cleaning are not too dirty. The key to using a waterless wash is to have LOTS of clean, soft microfiber towles and switch to a new towel often.

If you don't switch to a new towel often then you will take the abrasive dirt you removed off of one panel and rub it over the next panel and scratch the paint on your new car.


Make sense?

So then, if you're going to perfect the practice of using a waterless wash to keep you NEW car clean, then you need to do this,


1: Purchase a large quantity of microfiber towels. 12 would be a minimum.

2: Purchase something to place dirty towels in to keep them from becoming contaminated until you wash and dry them.

3: After you wash and dry them purchase something to store them in to keep the clean and uncontaminated so that when you go to wash your car again you don't scratch the paint.

4: Purchase a waterless wash CONCENTRATE and a spray bottle and mix your spray wash dilution yourself to save money.
​


If you do all of the above and focus on the task at hand when wiping paint you can use a waterless wash instead of a traditional wash to keep your car clean.

If you can't do the above then take a look at touchless automatic car washes.


Hope that helps... I will be watching your future posts and your Signature Line.


Also, what kind of new car did you buy?

Interesting.

I actually like this product. I like how after wiping a section sprayed with it the remaining liquid "flashes" quickly.

I see Yancy keeps a bottle of it out in the garage by where he parks his hog and religiously wipes his bike down with it.


Maybe try it not in the winter and see how it works for you.

I find I don't need lots of towels for waterless with the folding method

That's true.

If you know how to use a towel to its maximum potential you can use lets towels.

I share this in a video somewhere...


For someone that does not know the technique and does not have a high skill level then - lots of towels if for no other reason safety for the paint.

Read that MF article yesterday. Very informative. Was glad to see that I was already doing some of this stuff. Still learned a lot.

I find stuff in my MF every time I check them. Every. Time. It does take some effort to keep them clean, but better than having a tiny pebble run across your paint.

There are others I really like but those are at the front of the line.
