What's a good car wash soap to use ?

I believe at price per application: (assuming all of the below were 1 gallon purchases except optimum which is a 32 oz. purchase)
the Megs Gold Class is the most economical at $0.13
Then duragloss at $0.34
Then Optimum at $0.37
Then PB at $0.78

For a 3 gallon bucket diluted using the most conservative measurements I had calculated this. The list price was without forum discounts.

PB's is 1/2 oz per gallon and Optimum is 1 oz / gallon.

______________ List Price Cost per wash
CG Maxi Suds II......$12_____ 0.28
Meguiars GC ______ 12.49__ 0.29
DP Auto Bath______ 45_____ 0.35
Adam's Car Wash___ 30______ 0.35
Mothers__________ 18.18___ 0.43
Poorboys__________40______ 0.47
Griots_____________40______ 0.47
Pinnacle Shampoo___70______ 0.55
DG901____________ 25.15____0.59
Optimum__________ 30______ 0.70
1z Perls____________????

I will re-check my xls file that I used to calculate the per wash cost.
 
Anyone tried the new Citrus wash by CG? It's supposed to be even more concentrated than the W&C.

I can't wait to try out my DP maxi foam!
 
I like the DP Auto Bath Shampoo. A great product at a great price.
 
Has anyone tried the Griot's Garage car soap? I was thinking about picking that up, but not sure how good it is.

That's what I was talking about. It's great stuff.
 
Since I am a nice guy - here's a little chart I made real quick like.
I may have missed something (likely) and there may be an error. Take it for what it's worth.

I've used it for years, and it's great. Really gets the car clean and suds up very well. I highly recommend it.
 
Anyone ever used Optimum Car Wash in a foam gun? Looking to stock up on some products, but don't really have the coin to buy a gallon of Optimum Car Wash AND DP Xtreme Foam (I will buy it eventually though)

So if you've used it in a foam gun, I'd much appreciate your thoughts on it's performance!
 
Have you ever heard of Chemical Guys wash and gloss? I would purchase this product but concerned it may remove wax!
 
I have decided now that I sort of like Dodo Supernatural Shampoo. Ten pumps to one gallon makes a nice mixture. Also Meg's Gold Class was my absolute favorite to this point but Meg's Ultimate Wash & Wax now holds that title for me.
 
Lately I've been using Poorboys SS&W and am quite pleased with it. I've also used Zainos car wash which is also very good.
